Full-Line Automated Conveyor Solutions
Aegis designs and integrates conveyor systems around your products, processes, and performance requirements. From belt, roller, and accumulation conveyors to heavy-duty, vertical, and specialty applications, we evaluate the equipment, layout, controls, and surrounding automation to build a system that works as one.
Conveyor Solutions for Every Operation
Keeping products moving efficiently starts with the right conveyor strategy. Aegis brings together a broad range of conveyor technologies to support reliable product flow, make better use of available space, and connect processes across your operation. With the flexibility to select equipment around your products, throughput and facility requirements, we can build a solution that fits how your operation needs to perform.
Belt Conveyor
Belt conveyor provides a continuous conveying surface for cartons, totes, polybags, mailers, and products that may not travel reliably on rollers. Available in a range of configurations, belt conveyors can support transportation, inclines and declines, induction, transfers, and other movement throughout an automated system.
Benefits:
Handles diverse product profiles with a continuous, stable conveying surface.
Supports long transport runs between operational areas and automated processes.
Works across a wide range of applications, including distribution, fulfillment, and manufacturing.
Integrates with surrounding automation such as sortation, scanning, packaging, and shipping systems.
Roller Conveyor
Roller conveyor is a versatile solution for transporting cartons, totes, cases and other products with a suitable conveying surface. Powered and gravity configurations can support everything from straightforward transportation to controlled product movement throughout distribution, fulfillment and manufacturing operations.
Benefits:
Controlled accumulation without product-to-product contact (ZPA), reducing the risk of damage and improving flow control.
Operational flexibility with multiple roller conveyor styles, including MDR and belt roller options, to fit different zones and performance needs.
Smooth product flow for long runs and accumulation use cases, especially with belt-driven live roller configurations.
Motor Driven Roller (MDR) Conveyor
Motor Driven Roller, or MDR, conveyor uses individually powered zones to move and control products along the conveyor. The zoned architecture supports precise starts, stops and releases while allowing sections to operate based on product demand.
MDR is commonly used for carton and tote transportation, accumulation, product spacing and controlled movement into downstream processes.
Benefits:
Zone-level product control for more precise starts, stops, and releases.
Zero-pressure accumulation capabilities to queue products without product-to-product contact.
On-demand operation that powers conveyor zones as needed.
Flexible system layouts for transportation, accumulation, and connections between automated processes.
Accumulation Conveyor
Accumulation conveyor creates controlled buffering between processes so products can queue without disrupting the larger system. Depending on the application, accumulation can use zero-pressure, minimum-pressure, and other control strategies to regulate product movement and keep upstream and downstream equipment running consistently.
Benefits:
Creates controlled buffering between processes with different operating rates.
Supports product spacing and release into downstream equipment.
Helps manage starts, stops, and changing system conditions.
Can be integrated throughout larger conveyor and automation systems.
Conveyor Transfers
Conveyor transfers move products between conveyor lines, change direction or orientation, and connect different parts of a material handling system.
Depending on the application, transfer solutions can provide right-angle movement, lateral movement or transitions between different conveyor types.
Common Applications:
Right-angle transfers
Lateral product movement
Conveyor intersections
Product orientation
Connecting parallel conveyor lines
Transitions between conveyor technologies
Roach Conveyor Transfer
CrossX™ Easy Transfer Roller
CrossX™ by Roach Conveyors transforms a compatible standard roller conveyor into a bidirectional transfer surface, creating a simple way to move products laterally across conveyor lines.
CrossX™ is designed for lateral movement and product reorientation across conveyor lines and can be installed into compatible 1.9-inch grooved roller conveyor frames without modifying the existing frame.
Benefits:
Creates controlled buffering between processes with different operating rates.
Supports product spacing and release into downstream equipment.
Helps manage starts, stops, and changing system conditions.
Can be integrated throughout larger conveyor and automation systems.
Roach CrossX Easy Transfer Roller
CrossX™ Roller Options
CrossX™ Gravity Roller
Cartons and totes are easily pushed sideways with minimal effort while continuing to move along a gravity conveyor.
CrossX™ Grooved Roller
Smooth side-to-side package movement while keeping O-ring drive bands in place for consistent conveyor operation.
CrossX™ Poly-V Roller
Easy lateral package movement while maintaining positive drive engagement in powered poly-V conveyor lines.
CrossX™ BDLR Roller
Packages are easily guided sideways at work areas without interfering with belt driven conveyor operation.
Flexible & Loading Conveyor
Flexible and loading conveyors extend product movement into trailers, shipping and receiving areas, docks and other spaces where a fixed conveyor layout may not provide the required access.
Flexible configurations can be repositioned as operating needs change, making them useful for variable material-handling paths and loading or unloading applications.
Common Applications:
Shipping and receiving
Trailer loading and unloading
Dock operations
Variable conveyor paths
Temporary connections to fixed conveyor
Package and carton handling
Roach Flexible Conveyor
Vertical Conveyor Systems
Vertical conveyors move products between elevations and can connect floors, mezzanines, conveyor levels and automated processes.
Different vertical conveyor technologies can accommodate continuous product movement or individual load transfers depending on the application, throughput and elevation requirements.
Common Applications:
Floor-to-floor product movement
Mezzanine access
Conveyor elevation changes
Multi-level automation
Connections between conveyor levels
Manufacturing and material handling processes
Specialty Conveyor Solutions
Some products and processes require conveyor technology designed for specific loads, environments or handling requirements. Specialty conveyor solutions expand the range of products and processes that can be automated beyond conventional belt and roller transportation.
Common Applications:
Chain and slat conveyor
Tabletop conveyor
Wire mesh belt conveyor
Parts conveyor
Turntables
Transfer carts
Product orientation equipment
Application-specific conveyor configurations
Roach Glass and Solar Conveyor
Roach Lumber and Door Conveyor
Roach Wheel and Tire Conveyor
