Sound material handling solutions for over four decades.
Wood Conveyor Systems and Integration
Move long, heavy, dusty stock without rebuilding the line around it.
Wood products plants fight length, weight and dust all day. Boards bridge transfers built for boxes, sawdust works into every bearing, and the loads are heavier than they look. Conveyability designs wood conveyor systems around those realities — odd lengths, rough duty and the housekeeping the environment forces on everything.
Handling for odd lengths, from cut-offs to full-length boards.
Drives and bearings specified to live with sawdust.
Heavy-duty builds for a rough environment.
Combined team member material handling experience.
Heavy frames and drives specified for dust and abuse.
Special widths and lengths are normal work for our shop.

What Long Stock Does to a Conveyor
Length, weight and dust break catalog assumptions in predictable ways.
Dust gets into everything
Bearings, motors and sensors fail early when they live in sawdust. Component selection, sealing and mounting get chosen for the cloud, not the catalog photo.
Long stock, short conveyor
Boards bridge, dive and skew on equipment sized for cartons. Roller centers, chain transfers and side guiding get designed around your longest and shortest pieces.
Heavy units, light equipment
Bundles and heavy boards flatten rollers rated for lighter work. Frames and drives get specified to the real unit weight with margin for the rough handling.
Debris jams the line
Splinters, bark and offcuts collect in every corner the design left open. Cleanout access and debris-tolerant transfer geometry keep the line running between cleanups.

Why Wood Products Plants Call Conveyability
Dust and odd lengths break catalog assumptions. We design past them.
One team of top-tier problem solvers.
Start with what failed and what production is experiencing — not just the replacement part.
Speed, responsiveness and lead-time flexibility.
Service has to fit the urgency, shutdown window and reality of the operating plant.
Value engineering inside the real budget.
Repair what is worth repairing, modify what is causing the problem and upgrade only where the system has truly outgrown the old answer.
Custom plans built around the plant you have.
Legacy equipment, multiple manufacturers and incomplete drawings are normal inputs.
No passing the buck when the interfaces get messy.
Mechanical, controls, fabrication, installation and future support stay connected through one team.

Wood Conveyor FAQs
Lengths, sawdust, custom sections and working around production.
Can you handle full-length boards and mixed lengths?
Yes. Roller centers, transfers and guiding get designed around your real length range — the longest piece and the shortest cut-off both matter.
What do you do differently because of sawdust?
Component selection, sealing and mounting positions all change, and cleanout access gets designed in. The goal is a longer service interval in an environment that shortens everything.
Can you build extra-long or extra-wide sections?
Yes — that’s in-house fabrication. Special lengths, widths and frames are normal work for our shop when the catalog runs out.
Can the work be phased around production?
Usually, yes. Installs and modifications get scheduled into planned downtime, because a wood products plant rarely gets to stop for a project.
Do you service equipment we already have?
Yes. Repairs, rebuilds and modifications on existing lines are a normal part of the work, whoever installed them.
