Conveyor is mounted on the floor or in a pit, mostly used in production areas allowing people and product to ride on a continuous train of platforms as the conveyor moves smoothly down the assembly line. Sometimes called a platform conveyor, the "skillets" are arranged in a positive contact, accumulated manner, creating the effect of a moving floor.
This type of conveyor system provides a synergy between people, processes, and technology. The ergonomic design helps to reduce fatigue and improve production quality by allowing the vehicle height to be adjusted throughout the assembly process.
Skillet conveyors offer advanced conveyor alternatives yet remain reliable, flexible, and economical. They integrate well with other material handling systems, assembly automation, and manipulators such as scissors lifts and rotators.
