Conveyor Systems UK
Conveyor design, supply, installation and software integration across the UK.
Conveyor systems for UK warehouses and distribution centres
Keymas designs, supplies and installs conveyor systems for warehouses, distribution centres and industrial operations across the UK. From a single conveyor line to a complete automated material handling solution, we bring together the equipment, controls and software around the way your business works.
Our warehouse conveyor systems move cartons, totes, parcels and pallets between goods in, storage, picking, packing and despatch. By connecting these processes, a well-planned system can reduce unnecessary manual movement and help your team maintain a more consistent flow of work.
Whether you are upgrading an existing warehouse or planning a new facility, we assess your products, throughput requirements, available space and future growth. We then recommend a practical combination of conveyors and automation to suit your operation.
Based in the West Midlands, our UK team supports projects from initial planning and conveyor system design through installation, commissioning and ongoing support.
Conveyor system design, installation and support
No two warehouses work in exactly the same way. Product dimensions and weights, order volumes, packing processes and the layout of your building all influence the right conveyor solution.
Our conveyor system design service starts with understanding how goods move through your site. We consider transfer points, accumulation, access for operators and maintenance, and how the equipment will connect with your existing operation.
Detailed layouts and 3D visualisations help you understand the proposed system before installation begins. Working with leading conveyor equipment manufacturers allows us to select suitable equipment for each application.
Keymas coordinates supply, installation, controls integration and commissioning as part of a connected project. For an existing site, the delivery plan also needs to account for your day-to-day operation and the transition to the new equipment.
After installation, conveyor maintenance and ongoing support help you keep the system working effectively as your requirements evolve.
Choosing the right conveyor systems
The right conveyor depends on what you need to move, how quickly it needs to travel and where it needs to go. A single project may combine several conveyor types to connect different stages of your operation.
- Powered roller conveyor systems move suitable flat-bottomed cartons, totes and other loads. They can support transfers, accumulation and controlled movement between workstations.
- Belt conveyors provide continuous support for products that are less suited to roller conveyors, including smaller or irregular items.
- Gravity conveyors offer a simple, unpowered option for suitable loads in manual handling and transfer areas.
- Spiral conveyors move goods between levels while making efficient use of the available footprint.
- Incline and decline conveyors connect different heights within a conveyor layout, including mezzanine and floor-level processes.
- Pallet conveyors provide material handling for palletised loads where the equipment is specified for the load and application.
For higher-volume operations, conveyor lines can also connect with sortation systems, picking processes and packing equipment. We help you select the right combination for your products, throughput and warehouse layout.
Integrated conveyor systems, controls and warehouse software
A conveyor system should do more than move products from one point to another. It needs to support the wider warehouse process, with the right goods arriving at the right workstation at the right time.
Keymas combines conveyor equipment with warehouse control systems and warehouse management software. Planning the equipment and software together helps coordinate product movement, picking workflows, packing and despatch.
Our conveyor systems support UK businesses in warehousing, logistics, retail, eCommerce and manufacturing. Each project is designed around its application, from a standalone line to an integrated automation system.
- Practical design: a layout built around your products, people and operational requirements.
- Connected project delivery: equipment, installation, controls and software considered together.
- Room to develop: a modular approach that can accommodate changes in your operation.
- Ongoing support: maintenance and technical expertise after commissioning.
Questions about conveyor systems
What is a conveyor system?
A conveyor system moves goods between locations within a warehouse, distribution centre or production facility. It may use rollers, belts or other handling equipment, with controls to coordinate movement, accumulation and transfers.
How do I choose the right conveyor for my warehouse?
Start with your product sizes, weights and base materials, then consider throughput, the building layout and the processes you need to connect. Keymas assesses these requirements before recommending the conveyor types and controls for your project.
How much does a conveyor system cost?
Cost depends on the conveyor type, length, load capacity, layout, controls and level of software integration. Installation requirements also affect the overall project cost. Share your products, site layout and required throughput with our team so we can scope an appropriate solution.
Can conveyors integrate with an existing warehouse management system?
Yes, conveyors can be integrated with warehouse software through appropriate controls and interfaces. We assess your existing systems and the information that needs to pass between them before planning the integration.
Does Keymas install conveyor systems across the UK?
Yes. Keymas is based in the West Midlands and provides conveyor system design, supply, installation and integration for UK businesses, with commissioning, maintenance and ongoing support considered as part of the project.
