The sweet spot of a wedge conveyor
Due to their operating principle, wedge conveyors can lift smaller products higher than other solutions. In operation, a wedge conveyor applies some pressure to the sides of conveyed products that they need to withstand. This kind of transportation also prefers dry objects for optimal friction. Wet surfaces can cause slippage, slowing the flow of the products. Support rails allow even lifting of products that are heavier or susceptible to compression. Limiting factors for wedge conveyors are very heavy or irregularly shaped objects.
