Conveyor Systems
Engineered Conveyor Systems for Maximum Uptime
For over 60 years, Transcon has engineered and manufactured heavy-duty conveyor systems that keep production moving in the most demanding environments. From stamping and metal forming to CNC machining, recycling, and steel mills, our systems are built to run reliably, day after day, with minimal maintenance and maximum productivity.
When your operation can’t afford downtime, you can’t afford a commodity conveyor.
Custom-Engineered Systems for Demanding Applications
Our conveyor systems are designed from the ground up to fit your process, your plant, and your production goals. We don’t force your operation to match a standard catalog model. Instead, we engineer each system to handle your loads, speeds, and environment:
- Systems sized for light, medium, and heavy-duty applications
- Configurations for in-floor, above-floor, incline, decline, Z-shaped, and multi-level layouts
- Integration with presses, CNC machines, furnaces, robots, and downstream equipment
- Engineered controls and safety features tailored to your facility
Whether you’re moving small parts, long scrap, or heavy sections from furnace to press, we deliver a solution that fits - not a “one-size-fits-none” compromise.
A Proven Process for Reliable Conveyor Systems
Designing a system that runs reliably with understanding your operation.
- Discovery and site review
We work with your team to understand your process, material flow, weights, temperatures, space constraints, and throughput requirements. - Engineering and concept development
Our engineers design layouts, select belt and drive styles, and specify materials that match your application and long-term performance goals. - Detailed design and fabrication
We create detailed drawings and manufacture every major component in-house to maintain strict quality control and responsible lead times. - Installation and startup support

Common Questions
Short answers to what engineers and maintenance teams ask us most about this equipment.
What types of conveyor systems does Transcon manufacture?
We manufacture four main categories of conveyor systems: welded hinge steel belt conveyors (our flagship severe-duty product), industrial conveyors for general heavy-duty manufacturing, powered roller conveyors for parts and assembly line applications, and chain conveyors for heavy pallets, tooling, and fixtures. Within these categories, we offer specialized configurations including chip removal conveyors, scrap handling systems, and heavy-duty forging conveyors.
What is the difference between a steel belt conveyor and a chain conveyor?
Steel belt conveyors use a continuous welded hinge belt to carry materials - ideal for scrap, chips, hot parts, and bulk materials where containment matters. Chain conveyors use single or multi-strand industrial chains to move heavy discrete items like pallets, tooling, fixtures, and large parts. The right choice depends on what you're moving: bulk/scrap materials typically call for steel belt, while heavy individual items are better suited to chain.
Can Transcon build conveyors for high-temperature applications?
Absolutely. Our welded hinge steel belt conveyors are specifically engineered for extreme heat environments like hot forging operations, where parts can reach several thousand degrees Fahrenheit. We use heat-resistant belt materials, reinforced frames for impact zones, high-temperature bearings, rollers, and drive components, plus specialized scale-handling chutes and collection sections. These systems integrate directly with furnaces, presses, and forge hammers.
What overload protection is available on Transcon conveyors?
Three approaches, matched to belt pitch. On 2½″ pitch conveyors we use a slip clutch. On 4″, 6″, and 9″ pitch we use a shear pin hub. Electronic overload monitoring is available as an option on any size.
All three do the same job: stop the drive before the belt, sprockets, and reducer absorb the load. A jam then costs a shear pin and a few minutes instead of a gearbox and a shift.
Electronic monitoring is worth adding where a conveyor runs unattended and you want the fault raised to the control system rather than discovered at shift change. Full detail on overload and jamming protection.
