Almac Industrial Systems designs heavy-duty conveyors for wood products, from rough lumber and cants to finished panels and stacked bundles. Standard and custom configurations of multi-strand chain and CDLR conveyors handle your wood-heavy load handling needs while protecting surfaces and edges during transfer.
Multi-Strand Chain Conveyors for Lumber and Panels
Multi-strand chain conveyors support pallets, packs of boards, or stacks of panels on robust chains and carrier bars, ideal where board bottoms are uneven or gaps between stringers would cause problems on standard rollers. Chain spacing, frame design, and drive sizing are tailored to your pack dimensions and target throughput so loads move smoothly without bounce or misalignment.
CDLR Conveyors for Bundles and Packs
For flatter products and staging zones, chain-driven live roller (CDLR) sections provide positive drive and accumulation, creating buffer lanes feeding saw lines, presses, or packaging cells.
Engineered for Dusty, Heavy-Duty Wood Plants
These conveyors are built for dusty, high-impact woodworking environments, with guards, controls, and integration to upstream board handling and downstream palletizing systems.
