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, […]

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 […]

What are powered roller conveyors used for?

Powered roller conveyors are designed for moving parts, trays, bins, tooling, and assemblies along production and packaging lines. They use motor-driven roller (MDR) technology or line-shaft configurations and can include zero-pressure accumulation, zoned stop/start control, sensor-based indexing, variable speed, and PLC integration. Common applications include assembly line part movement, work-in-process transfers, finished goods transport, and […]

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, […]
