The Norpak team supplies innovative conveyor solutions for handling parcels

Parcel conveyors are available from Norpak.

Parcel conveyors number among the many innovative material-handling products that Norpak Handling Ltd. supplies. These conveyors play a unique part in the industry: most posts and parcels are transferred from source locations to parcel-processing facilities before shipping, which has spurred a growing demand to process large volumes quickly and efficiently.

This is why businesses heavily depend on parcel conveyors, which offer state-of-the-art solutions for this scenario in both ground- and air-based delivery applications.

High durability, adjustable speed

Advantages of parcel conveyors include constant material-handling ability, high production throughput, the capability of handling versatile packages regardless of weight and size, exact automation with room for manual sorting, high durability, ability to handle any volumes, and adjustable speed, depending on the workload. Norpak’s range of parcel conveyors can easily handle demanding workloads.

A fundamental aspect of these conveyors is belts, and Hytrol manufactures some of the highest-quality parcel-conveyor belts in the industry. Available from Norpak as well, Hytrol parcel belts offer a robust, modular design that accommodates quick repair.

Designed for singulated flow – a configuration in which parcels come in single file and uniform spacing – the Hytrol HSS belt can easily handle heavy weights without any stretching or tearing. This belt’s features include an 8-5/8-inch drive pulley with a through shaft, a speed range from 250 to 600 feet per minute (FPM), and the ability to tackle a maximum weight of 35 pounds per linear foot.

The HSS-HD is a belt designed for semi-bulk operations and to handle more load per linear foot than the HSS can. It also offers superior speed control and parcel-handling ability. The HSS-HD’s features include a maximum belt length of 150 feet, a speed range from 50 to 600 FPM, and the capability of handling a maximum weight of 50 pounds per linear foot.

Last, the BPC is a bulk-operations belt for processing parcels en masse, with a versatile centre and end-drive function. This belt can accelerate up to 550 FPM and includes spherical, cast iron, pre-lubricated roller bearings to minimize belt friction, plus a robust formed steel bed with customizable dimensions.
