Today, accurate and quick order-picking and distribution are key to successful business performance. Maintaining your operations at optimal standards means creating the most reliable and highest-quality system possible, and for that, you need the best partner you can find.
Growing demand of B2C has resulted in the emergence of multiple delivery models and distribution hub types:
- Receiving Centres
- Fulfillment Centres
- Sortation Centres
- Traditional Distribution Centres
Most of these involve a basic model of receiving (infeed), sorting and dispatching (outfeed) which we concentrate on in this section.
“Not only do we have quality belting for logistics, we go one step further through our fabrication and service capabilities. Trust our dedicated service professionals to improve your uptime.”

Loading and unloading parcels directly from trailers / vehicles with telescopic conveyors. Telescopic conveyors extend into the vehicle and collapse away after use.
Principais desafios
- Need for good tracking due to side loading
- Edge fray & curl
- Ease of maintenance
- Durability
Soluções
- Plied belt instead of interwoven type (we offer direct equivalents)
- Our Flexam EX construction is proven & used worldwide
- Our impact resistant range of belts give extra longevity due to their unique construction
- The above belt types (listed individually below) offer improved tracking & fray resistance
Same as telescopic but used when unloading / loading smaller trailers / vehicles. Tail section lowers to allow conveying from different heights.
Principais desafios
- Need for good tracking due to side loading
- Good grip needed to convey parcels up/down the incline / decline
Soluções
- Our Flexam EX construction is proven and used worldwide

At the heart of the logistics operation, line conveyors often do the bulk of the work. They also consume much of the energy used.
Principais desafios
- Heavy loads
- Energy efficient
- Difficult to track due to length & load resulting in edge fray
- Safety issues (fire) due to long lengths
- Low noise
- Edge fray can lead to residue on the conveyor and floor
Soluções
- Our energy saving belt range significantly reduces the power required to drive the belt
- Our IR range handles the heavy loads, reduce fray, improve tracking and are energy efficient
- Low noise fabrics used in the belt construction
- Belts can be flame retardant to ISO 340 to reduce the risk of fire spreading
- Reduced elongation of the belt
- Improved reliability
Parcels often need to change levels within the operation such as inclines from the infeed (trailers / booms) to sorter system levels.
Principais desafios
- Alto aderência
- Consistent cover wear to improve belt durability
- Belt edge fray
- Damage at transfer points due to split parcels
Soluções
- Our special profiles for increased grip
- Our Flexam proven high grip A32 longitudinal rib profile
- Our impact resistant range of belts give extra longevity due to their unique construction
Power turns, curved conveyors / belts, change the direction of the line flow in the system.
Principais desafios
- High speeds
- Accurate dimensions
- Flexibility of fabric
- Noise
Soluções
- Our low noise yet strong curve belts can handle the high-speeds

In material handling, live roller conveyors are essential. It is not only for A to B transport, order picking or sorting processes are also done on live roller drives conveyors.
Principais desafios
- High efficiency at lowest cost
- Noise
- Quick replacement or easy repair
Soluções
- Sophisticated belt design for lowest energy consumption
- Extended service life thanks to our abrasion and wear-resistant covers
- No elongation, dimensional stable – no re-tensioning necessary
- Simple and quick splicing with our QuickSplice tools
A flat belt drives the conical carrying rollers at the inner radius. Since a flat belt cannot be bent into a curve across its lateral cross section.
Principais desafios
- High efficiency at lowest cost
- Noise
- Quick replacement or easy repair
- Short take-up system
Soluções
- Sophisticated belt design for lowest energy consumption
- Extended service life thanks to our abrasion and wear-resistant covers
- No elongation, dimensional stable – no re-tensioning necessary
- Simple and quick splicing with our QuickSplice tools
An Automatic Parcel Singulator (APS) transforms a simple bulk-flow system into an ergonomically and operationally efficient system, giving you downstream and upstream control of parcel flow.
Principais desafios
- Efficiency, belts working in sync together
- Need of different belts (e.g. flat belts, roller drive belts, and PU or PVC-coated belts), all capable of delivering high-performance and durability
