Norpak offers many conveyors for e-commerce.

Norpak Handling Ltd. is Canada’s premier team of experts in conveyor-related material-handling system application. This equipment has become even more important during the COVID-19 pandemic, as e-commerce and other order-fulfillment scenarios have increased in demand. While large businesses have comfortably accommodated the new production capacity, conveyors can also help small and medium-sized companies stay relevant. Here is Norpak’s expert take on the role of conveyors in e-commerce order fulfillment.

Merging, sortation, and more

While conveyors are often used to transport items from one place to another in plants and warehouses, they are also used for merging, sortation, accumulation, and other applications. This versatility is a boon to order fulfillment, in terms of operational speed and efficiency.

The basic procedure is similar for most e-commerce operations: goods to be shipped are moved to a takeaway line where trucks and other shipping vehicles receive them. Conveyors can handle hundreds, even thousands, of items at once for fast transporting, which helps businesses reach order-fulfillment goals quickly. Accuracy is another key advantage – as sorters can transport products to the correct takeaway lines. Shoe sorters and belted pivot wheel sorters can be easily integrated into conveyor systems.

The following conveyor models are recommended by Norpak for e-commerce order fulfillment:

  • Heavy-duty formed slider bed. Robust conveyor for long transportation and packaging applications.
  • Medium-duty V-belt 190-ACC. Known for simple design, easy calibration, and standard underside drive.
  • Medium-duty flat-belt-drive ABLR. Reversible unit for medium and heavy loads in manufacturing or distribution.
  • 24VDC 190-E24EZ live roller. Operates without drive belts, line shafts, or chains, while allowing no pressure accumulation of items.
  • Medium-duty flat-belt ABEZ. Horizontal line roller conveyor with easy accumulation without line pressure buildup. Removes items from any location.
  • ProSort high-speed sortation 122 and 132. With aluminum slats in diagonal positions to sort products onto takeaway lines.
  • ProSort SC1 and SC2. Horizontal belt sortation using one or two rows of pivoting wheels to divert items accurately.
  • MaxxReach telescopic. With load-bearing capacity of 50 pounds per foot, ideal for loading and unloading.
  • Bestflex 1.5. High-performance model with heavy-duty casters that help it handle thousands of items daily.
