Wedge Conveyor

A Wedge Conveyor is a specialized conveyor system designed to transport products vertically or at steep inclines by securely gripping them between two synchronized side belts. This innovative conveying method enables manufacturers to maximize floor space, improve production flow, and automate product transfer between different levels without compromising product stability. Whether handling bottles, containers, cartons, pouches, or packaged goods, a wedge conveyor provides reliable and efficient vertical transportation.

At OSTECH, we design conveyor solutions that combine precision engineering, durability, and automation to meet the demands of modern manufacturing environments.

What is a Wedge Conveyor?

A Wedge Conveyor is a conveyor system that transports products by holding them securely between two synchronized side belts. This design allows products to move vertically or along steep inclines while maintaining stability throughout the conveying process.

A modern Wedge Conveyor System is widely used where factory floor space is limited and products need to move between different production levels. Unlike conventional conveyors, a Wedge Belt Conveyor securely grips products from both sides, minimizing movement and reducing the risk of product damage during transportation.

Often referred to as a Side Grip Conveyor, this conveyor is ideal for handling bottles, jars, cartons, containers, cans, pouches, and similar products that require stable vertical movement. As an Automatic Wedge Conveyor, it integrates easily with filling machines, packaging equipment, labeling systems, and case packers to create a fully automated production line.

Beverage Industry

Beverage production lines rely on a Side Grip Conveyor to elevate PET bottles, glass bottles, cans, and containers without damaging the products or interrupting production.

FMCG Manufacturing

An Automatic Wedge Conveyor helps FMCG manufacturers move products efficiently between multiple production levels, improving throughput while reducing manual handling.

Pharmaceutical Industry

An Industrial Wedge Conveyor transports medicine bottles, cartons, blister packs, and healthcare products safely between manufacturing and packaging processes while ensuring smooth product flow.

Personal Care & Cosmetics

Manufacturers use wedge conveyors to handle shampoo bottles, lotion containers, cosmetic products, and personal care packaging with consistent positioning throughout automated production lines.

Chemical & Industrial Manufacturing

Industrial facilities use wedge conveyors for transporting containers, cans, and packaged products where reliable vertical conveying and space optimization are essential.

How the Wedge Conveyor Works

The Wedge Conveyor System uses two synchronized side belts to securely grip products and transport them vertically or along steep inclines without affecting product stability.

Step 1 – Product Feeding

Products enter the conveyor from upstream equipment or a standard conveyor line.

Step 2 – Side Grip Transportation

The Side Grip Conveyor gently holds products between two moving belts, ensuring secure handling throughout transportation.

Step 3 – Vertical Product Transfer

The Vertical Wedge Conveyor moves products upward or downward while maintaining consistent spacing and alignment.

Step 4 – Product Discharge

Products are released smoothly onto downstream equipment such as labeling machines, case packers, packaging systems, palletizers, or inspection stations.
