Product conveying
Specializing in end-of-line packaging solutions, MG Tech has been offering recognized expertise for over 20 years in the design and manufacture of product conveying systems, tailored to the specific needs of each customer.
MG Tech's product conveying lines are designed to efficiently interconnect the various production equipment, ensuring smooth product flow throughout the production line.
The company offers a wide range of conveyors, including modular belt conveyors, in aluminum or stainless steel, suitable for transporting a wide range of products (bags, trays, cases, etc.) as well as pallet chain conveyors for transferring thin products such as bottles.
MG Tech also integrates advanced technologies into its product conveying systems, such as intelligent modular conveyors equipped with integrated sensors and actuators, enabling sorting, switching or product ejection functions in a secure manner. Their integration is easy to implement, MG Tech having easy relationships with many suppliers of complementary equipment. The company considers transitics and conveying functions from the beginning of each project, by integrating it harmoniously with other equipment such as case formers, case packers and palletizers, in order to offer complete and turnkey solutions.

Main applications
#1 - Product transfer between machines
- Height of conveyors adaptable according to upstream and downstream equipment
- Respect of products, phasing without contact and without accumulation
#2 - Realignment and/or convergence of products
- Realignment and/or convergence of products arriving on several lines on a single one
#3 - Product elevation (elevator, lift, spiral, etc.)
- Supply of several production lines on different levels by adapting to product rates
- Different configurations possible depending on the installations (adaptation of dimensions and heights according to customer constraints)
- Simple mechanical design, easy and quick maintenance
- No flow management required, product elevation solutions operate like "conventional conveyors"
#4 - Product control
- Integration of vision systems for the detection and ejection of non-compliant products (empty products, missing or incorrect barcodes, missing DLC, foreign bodies in welds, etc.)
- Integration of detector of metal particles
- Compact stand-alone modules
- System configuration open to the user
#5 - Integration of printing-labelling system
- Integration of labelers above and/or below directly in the frame of the conveyor system
- Mechanical and electrical integration of supplier and partner equipment by MG Tech teams
- Enslavement to your line and autonomous electrical control
- Possibility of creating movable stations to serve different lines (systems on casters and adjustable in height to adapt to all production lines)
- Simple and quick adjustments, achievable by all operators

Examples of product conveying solutions
Project #1 – Transfer of sachets and boxes to queuing area
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Our client, from the bakery and pastry sector, needed to install product conveyor systems to transfer biscuit bags from bagging machines and cardboard boxes from cartoning machines to an MG Tech queuing area. Realignors were integrated into the conveyor belts to redirect the products onto the correct conveyor lines and then to the wrap case packer.
PROJECT FEATURES
- Conveyor length: 50 m
- Height: 900 mm
- Conveyor types used: bag realignment, PVC belt conveyors, and modular belt conveyors
Project #2 – Transfer and orientation of trays
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project involved transferring sealed trays of various types (cardboard, wood, aluminum, glass) to the packaging lines, particularly to case packers, and orienting them in the correct transfer direction according to the conveyor lines. In order to reduce the footprint, MG Tech proposed, in part, overhead conveyors and a spiral product descent system.
PROJECT FEATURES
- Conveyor length: 6 m
- Height: 900 mm
- Conveyor types used: modular belt, poly-cord belt for product orientation
Project #3 – Conveying and accumulation of plastic bottles
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A manufacturer in the dairy products sector called us for a project to modify its accumulation table and the associated upstream and downstream conveyors in order to obtain a storage capacity of 300 plastic milk bottles at a height, at the end of the conveyor, of 900 mm.
PROJECT FEATURES
- Conveyor length: 50 m
- Height: 900 mm
- Conveyor types used: pallet chain, accumulation table
