The Econoveyor was engineered to automate the repetitive task of manually moving finished parts into 40" high bins. Designed with a lightweight, bolt-together frame, it’s easy to relocate around the factory floor, providing flexibility wherever it’s needed. To handle oily parts efficiently, the Econoveyor uses a hinged belt and custom sprocket, eliminating the need for a traditional chain. In response to overseas competition, the conveyor’s design emphasizes cost-effectiveness, requiring minimal welding to streamline assembly and reduce production expenses. This low-maintenance, durable conveyor is ideal for handling oiled parts and materials, offering a practical and economical solution for industrial environments.
- Developed initial design concepts for team review and feedback.
