01The conveyor range
Five conveyor families in the current line-up cover the movements a warehouse line needs: horizontal transport, elevation change, direction change, vehicle loading, and the weighing sections that turn a conveyor into a measuring point.
Conveyor families in the Goodscan range
| Family | Movement | Typical duty |
|---|---|---|
| Belt conveyor | Continuous belt surface | General parcel transport between stations; the default line conveyor |
| Roller conveyor | Powered or gravity roller bed | Flat-bottom cartons and totes; accumulation and manual workstations |
| Incline conveyor | Belt climbing between levels | Mezzanine feeds, dock-to-floor level changes |
| Curve conveyor | Belt turning through a bend | Direction changes without transfer gaps |
| Telescopic conveyor | Extending belt sections | Reaching into trucks and containers for loading and unloading |
02Whole machines, engineered runs
The cutting line on this range is deliberate: Goodscan supplies conveyor lines as complete equipment — frames, drives, controls and the sections between your measuring and sorting stations — and does not sell conveyor components, rollers or drive parts as spares catalogues. That keeps one engineering owner for the whole run: if the line must singulate before a dimensioner, weigh in motion mid-run and extend into a truck at the end, it is designed as one machine with one control philosophy.
Conveyor sections are also where measuring points live. A weigh-in-motion section turns a stretch of conveyor into a scale; the DWS sections on the dynamic DWS page are conveyor sections with vision and weighing built in. Specifying the conveying and the measuring together is what keeps parcels spaced, oriented and readable at speed.
03Planning a conveyor run
A conveyor quotation starts from the route, not the catalogue: pick-up and drop-off points, levels, the parcels' size and weight range, hourly volume, and what happens at the ends (manual loading, sorter discharge, vehicle). Send a sketch or a building plan with those marked and we return a section-by-section layout. The individual family pages — belt, roller, incline and curve, telescopic — cover each movement in detail.
One planning rule saves most conveyor grief: design the run backwards from the vehicle. The loading pattern decides the discharge sections; the discharge decides the take-away runs; those decide where sorting and measuring sit. Conveyor projects drawn forwards from the induction point tend to discover their dock geometry last, when it is most expensive to change.
