Plastic and Manufacturing Conveyor Belts
At UPM Conveyors, we design and manufacture bespoke conveyor systems for plastic and manufacturing environments across the UK. Whether you need to integrate with a robot cell, handle automotive components, or automate reject diversion, every system is engineered around your production line, your machines, your floor space, and your output.
From under-mould conveyors to fully PLC-controlled dashboard-handling systems, we build to exact specifications using materials suited to demanding industrial environments, including HMWPE conveyor sides and stainless-steel framework.
Conveyor Systems for the Plastic & Manufacturing Sector
Robotic Product Handling Conveyors
Designed to transport bulk materials directly from a moulding machine robot to the packing line, our robotic handling conveyors keep production moving without the need for manual labour. High-grip rubber top belt inserts prevent component slippage during transfer, protecting the quality of your materials at each stage of manufacturing.
Each system features HMWPE conveyor sides and a stainless steel support framework for durability in moulding environments. A central PLC control system manages the conveyor, with slave panels positioned in the moulding area for straightforward operator access.
Automotive Dashboard Handling Conveyor Units
We have designed and built fully integrated conveyor systems for major leading car manufacturers, transporting components from high-level robots through to the assembly line. These complex, multi-machine installations include a fully integrated PLC control interface with up to 10 individual machine robots, ensuring precise, synchronised throughput across the line.
Construction is to the same high standard as all our conveyor systems: HMWPE conveyor sides with stainless steel framework throughout.
Under-Mould Belt Conveyors
Our under-mould twin-lane conveyors include a pneumatically operated metal-product diverter, designed to automatically separate good parts from rejects. When the moulding machine sends an out-of-tolerance signal, the diverter activates immediately, routing reject parts to a dedicated bin without interrupting the main production flow or production speed.
Every system is designed and manufactured to the moulding machine's specific aperture. Customers can specify either a Festo or SMC solenoid, complete with isolation valve and pressure gauge.
Vertical Tote Box Filling Systems
Where floor space is at a premium, our beside-press tote box filling conveyors offer a compact solution without compromising on automation for the manufacturing process. The fully integrated PLC control is programmed to interface directly with the moulding machine, automating the filling sequence and reducing reliance on manual handling.
These systems are particularly well suited to high-volume moulding operations where consistent, repeatable tote filling is critical to output efficiency.
Plastic and Manufacturing Conveyors For Increased Efficiency
At UPM, we offer different types of bespoke conveyor systems for a range of industries, such as plastic and manufacturing, the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry and packaging. We don't offer off-the-shelf systems; every conveyor is designed from scratch to fit your specific needs and efficiently adapt to your environment.
