Conveyor Systems That Connect, Position, Lift, Rotate, and Move Pallets Through Your Packaging Line
A great end-of-line system is more than just the wrapper, hooder, or strapper. Conveyor systems keep pallets flowing safely and consistently between each stage of the line, helping reduce bottlenecks, improve uptime, and create a cleaner, more automated packaging process.
Best for: automated packaging lines that need controlled pallet flow, load positioning, elevation changes, line transfers, pallet turning, or smoother integration between end-of-line machines.
Why Conveyor Systems Matter in End-of-Line Packaging
Conveyor systems help create constant production flow, connect each packaging station, and make the full line more reliable. By combining conveying, centralizing, turning, and lifting functions, the line can be built around your layout instead of forcing your plant into a one-size-fits-all system.
Maintain Constant Line Flow
Conveyor modules help keep pallets moving consistently between palletizing, inspection, wrapping, hooding, strapping, and pickup zones.
- Reduces manual pallet movement
- Helps minimize bottlenecks
- Supports smoother end-of-line automation
Position Loads Correctly
Accurate positioning is critical before wrapping, hooding, or strapping. Centralizing and turning modules help ensure the pallet is in the correct orientation and location before packaging begins.
- Improves downstream machine performance
- Helps align pallets for repeatable packaging
- Useful when multiple pallet formats run on one line
Adapt to Plant Constraints
Elevation changes, narrow footprints, and unusual layouts often require conveyor modules that lift, transfer, or rotate pallets without disrupting flow.
- Works around tight floor plans
- Improves layout flexibility
- Supports both new and retrofit projects
How Conveyor Systems Support a Packaging Line
Conveyor systems do more than move a pallet from point A to point B. They create the controlled flow that allows each downstream packaging system to operate consistently and safely.
Conveyor Modules for a Complete End-of-Line System
Innova offers multiple conveyor elements that can be combined to create the exact packaging line you need, including pallet centralizer, roller conveyors, 90-degree transfer conveyors, rotating tables, vertical pallet conveyors, and scissor lift conveyors. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Pallet Centralizer
The pallet centralizer adjusts and centers the pallet in the correct position on the line before packaging. Innova also notes it can detect pallet format at line entry and send that information to downstream systems. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Automatic pallet positioning
- Useful before wrapping, hooding, or strapping
- Supports multi-format lines
Roller Conveyor
Innova describes its motorized roller conveyor as a strong, compact structure for moving palletized loads and adapting to pre-existing installations. The reference page also notes customizable length up to 2,900 mm. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Core transport module for pallet flow
- Good for retrofit or new layouts
- Supports smooth movement between stations
90-Degree Transfer Conveyor
This module combines roller and chain conveyors to transfer pallets 90 degrees, helping adapt conveyor flow to plant dimensions and packaging line layout. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Redirects flow without forklifts
- Useful for tight floor plans
- Helps create cleaner line layouts
Rotating Table Conveyor
Innova’s rotating table conveyor rotates the pallet 90 degrees, which can be useful for strapping in two directions or for adapting the conveyor system to plant dimensions. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Changes pallet orientation automatically
- Supports strapping system requirements
- Helps optimize conveyor layout
Vertical Pallet Conveyor
The vertical pallet conveyor transfers loads to spaces at different heights and includes a built-in roller conveyor, making it useful where elevation changes are required inside the line. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
- Connects different levels or elevations
- Useful when floor space is limited
- Improves layout flexibility
Scissor Lift Conveyor
Innova says the scissor lift conveyor connects conveyor lines at different heights and can also lift loads from ground level for access by manual pallet truck. The lifting platform can be hydraulic or pneumatic. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
- Bridges height differences in the line
- Useful for ergonomic load access
- Available to match project needs
Typical Conveyor System Applications
Innova presents these conveyor solutions across chemicals, cement, agri-food, ceramic tiles, food and beverages, household appliances, paper, and logistics applications. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Integrated Packaging Lines
Conveyor modules help connect palletizers, wrappers, hooders, strappers, and pickup areas into one automated line with better consistency and less manual intervention.
- Better coordination between machines
- Improved uptime and flow
- Cleaner end-of-line operation
Plants with Layout Constraints
Transfers, turntables, centralizers, and lifting modules make it easier to work around tight footprints, awkward flow paths, or multiple pallet handling requirements.
- Useful for retrofit installations
- Helps reduce forklift traffic
- Improves use of available floor space
Conveyor Systems FAQs
Do we need conveyors if we already have packaging equipment?
Often, yes. Conveyors are what connect the equipment into a reliable system. They help control pallet flow, improve positioning, and reduce manual intervention between stations.
Can conveyor modules be added to an existing line?
Yes. Innova notes that roller conveyors can adapt to pre-existing installations, and modules like transfers, centralizers, and lifts are useful in retrofit projects. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
What conveyor module is best if our pallets need to turn 90 degrees?
That depends on the goal. A 90-degree transfer conveyor redirects flow, while a rotating table conveyor changes pallet orientation. Both can be useful, but they solve slightly different problems.
What do you need from us to recommend the right conveyor system?
A simple line layout, pallet dimensions and weights, required pallets per hour, elevation changes, turning or transfer needs, and photos or video of the end-of-line area are the best place to start.
