Heavy Duty ✅ Up to 10,000 lbs ✅ Integrated Devices….That sounds like my kind of conveyor. If you’re looking to convey empty to fully loaded pallets, a Chain Driven Live Roller (CDLR) or Drag Chain pallet conveyor can transport your palletized product effectively. The best part is that with our integrated devices you can also rotate, transfer, straighten, and stop pallets on the conveyor line. Our standard CDLR and Drag Chain pallet conveyor can move up to 4,000 lbs while any custom-made pallet conveyors can move up to 10,000 lbs (so far). Using a CDLR and Drag Chain pallet conveyor can help reduce the amount of forklift traffic in certain chokepoints or blind spots in your production facility. What heavy things do you need help moving? Find out how Pack Air can help you move the heavy stuff at a steady pace using reliable pallet conveyors.

Are you on Team Welded Stainless Steel or Team Bolted Stainless Steel? 🔩 Let’s talk about some differences between these similar, but different conveyors. Welded - The idea is to minimize the number of bolted connections in frames and other sub-assemblies to prevent bacteria from growing inside any voids, pockets, or hollow members. Welded and blind-tapped standoffs offer protection against moisture seeping into any areas where bolts are required. Welded Stainless Steel conveyors are great for food applications that require direct contact with the equipment. OR Bolted - Frames and other fabricated components are mainly bolted together instead of welded. Bolted Stainless Steel is designed for wipe-down or wash-down applications, but it's not considered sanitary because bacteria could still grow. This type of conveyor is great for packaged food or beverage products, corrosive environments, coolers and freezers, or places that just get wet. Because there is less welding involved, this construction is typically at a much lower price point than Welded. So, let me ask you again. Are you... 👉 Team Welded Stainless Steel? OR 👉 Team Bolted Stainless Steel? Make an investment in your food or beverage custom conveyor systems with quality welded or bolted stainless steel conveyors from Pack Air.

Pack Air Inc. experienced a bittersweet moment recently. Glen Dugenske, our Shop Supervisor, retired from Pack Air Inc! 🎊 With over 45 years of industry experience and over 23 years here at Pack Air Inc., Glen was an important part of helping run our operations on the shop side of things. The experience and dedication he has to build quality conveyors are unmatched. He made a huge impact on those he worked with through mentoring the inexperienced to become experienced. But most importantly, that huge impact created great friendships along the way, and we’ll cherish that for a lifetime! Please help us congratulate Glen on his well-deserved retirement! 👏 #retirement #mentor #career #conveyor #manufacturing

Give me a “S”, give me a “C”, give me a “double L”! What does that spell? SCLL ⁉️ This acronym might confuse you at first but these are the different Gripper configurations you could utilize in your production. Pack Air designs grippers in a S, C, or double L , aka “Upender” configurations. All three configurations still lightly grip and elevate your product from point A to B, however; all three configurations perform a different function. ·        S Grippers are used for a simple elevation change ·        C Grippers are used for an elevation change with a 180-degree product orientation ·        Gripper Upenders are used for an elevation change with a 90-degree product orientation  Simply said, Grippers are an easy way to elevate your product efficiently. 👍 Watch this video of different custom grippers we have made. #gripper #conveyorelevation #manufacturing #conveyor #conveyorsystem https://lnkd.in/e_-wBAxP
