Applications

Loose Item Conveying

Not everything comes in a box. Dyno’s belt conveyor range handles loose and irregular items with ease, and can be complemented with ultraslip slides. Whether bulk bags, courier parcels, grain and even open crates, our systems keep items oriented and flowing. Dyno TR Tranzbelt Trough belt conveyors can gently carry uncontained produce or loose material

The S20 Tranzbelt belt conveyor with its range of accessories can efficiently handle sacks. Accompanying equipment for this type of application could include: Bag sewing equipment, bag kickers, bag flatteners and pickup conveyors for fully automated palletising operations.

The payoff is significant: no more manual scoop-and-pallet routines, fewer product spills, and continuous conveyor throughput. Whether it’s loose components on an assembly line or fresh produce on wash-down belts, Dyno builds conveyors that keep each item moving through your process. Talk to Dyno about a custom loose-item solution and see smoother flow and less downtime today.

Loose Item Conveying

Common Loose Item Conveying Challenges

Organisations frequently face challenges when handling individual, unpackaged goods, particularly those that are delicate or have irregular shapes. These issues can lead to product damage, inefficiencies in sorting, and limitations in overall throughput, affecting profitability and customer satisfaction.

Product Damage

Fragile, sensitive, or soft items (like fresh produce) can be easily damaged during manual handling or on unsuitable conveyors.

Inefficient Sorting

Manually sorting individual items is slow, error-prone, and labour-intensive.

Difficulty with Irregular Shapes

Items that are not uniformly shaped (e.g., bags, garments, small components, or various fruits and vegetables) can be challenging to convey without the right expertise and specialised systems to prevent jamming.

Contamination Risks

Exposed loose items can be susceptible to dust or environmental contamination during transport.

Limited Throughput

Manual processes restrict the volume of individual items that can be moved per hour.
