Conveyors
Moving products, materials, and scrap through a facility requires equipment matched to the load, the layout, and the pace of operations. Barron Equipment carries a full range of conveyor systems engineered for warehousing, manufacturing, distribution, order fulfillment, food processing, and metalworking environments. Available solutions span non-powered roller sections, motor-driven transport lines, flexible dock-loading equipment, food-grade handling systems, and heavy-duty scrap removal conveyors.
Barron partners with leading conveyor manufacturers — including LEWCO Conveyors, Roach Conveyors, Titan Conveyors, and New London Engineering — to deliver equipment that meets the demands of Midwest industrial operations. Whether a facility needs a single gravity section for a packing station or a multi-zone powered line for automated fulfillment, Barron’s team provides selection assistance, system planning, professional installation, and ongoing service.

Conveyor Technologies Available
Each material handling environment presents different requirements for product weight, throughput, facility layout, and automation. Barron Equipment organizes its conveyor catalog into six technology categories so operations managers and engineers can evaluate the right approach for their application.
Gravity Conveyors use a slight downward slope or manual push to move cartons, totes, and packages without motors or electrical connections. Light-duty through heavy-duty roller sections and curves are available for warehouse staging, packing lines, and shipping operations.
Powered Conveyors are motor-driven systems that actively control product speed, direction, and accumulation. Belt conveyors, 24V motor-driven roller conveyors, chain-driven live roller transfers, and accumulation curves support automated transport in distribution centers, manufacturing cells, and packaging lines.
Flexible Conveyors expand, contract, and curve to connect dock doors, truck trailers, and changing discharge points. Powered and gravity configurations adapt to shifting layouts and seasonal volume.
Scrap Conveyors remove metal chips, turnings, stampings, and industrial scrap from CNC machines, stamping presses, and metalworking operations. Hinged-steel-belt and magnetic designs handle sharp, hot, and oily material that would damage standard conveyor belting.
Food Conveyors meet sanitary and food-safety requirements for processing, packaging, and handling operations in food manufacturing and commercial kitchen environments.
Specialty Conveyors address unique material handling challenges that standard systems cannot solve. This category includes vertical reciprocating conveyors for multi-level material transfer, vibrating conveyors, belt transfer units, and drag conveyors.
Industries and Applications
Conveyor systems from Barron Equipment support operations across a broad range of industries. Warehouses and distribution centers rely on conveyor equipment to streamline order fulfillment, product accumulation, and shipping workflows. Manufacturers integrate conveyor lines into assembly processes, work cells, and packaging operations to maintain consistent throughput and reduce manual handling.
Metalworking shops depend on scrap removal conveyors to keep machine tools running efficiently, while food processing facilities require sanitary conveyor designs that protect product integrity and meet regulatory standards. Loading docks benefit from flexible and portable conveyor sections that connect to truck trailers and adapt to changing shipping schedules.
Planning, Installation, and Service
Selecting the right conveyor equipment involves more than choosing a product from a catalog. Barron Equipment works directly with facility managers, engineers, and operations teams to evaluate product dimensions, load weight, throughput targets, conveyor layout, facility constraints, and automation requirements before recommending a system.
Barron’s team handles professional installation and integration with existing production lines, dock equipment, and warehouse infrastructure. Ongoing service and maintenance support is also available to keep conveyor systems operating reliably over the long term. Barron Equipment serves all of Iowa and Illinois, plus parts of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska.
What types of conveyor systems does Barron Equipment offer?
Barron Equipment offers gravity roller conveyors, powered belt and roller conveyors, flexible dock-loading conveyors, scrap and chip removal conveyors, food-grade conveyor equipment, and specialty systems including vertical reciprocating conveyors and vibrating conveyors.
How do I choose between a gravity and a powered conveyor system?
A gravity system works well when a slight slope or manual push can move the load and automated speed control is not required. A powered system is the better choice when products must travel horizontally over longer distances, when accumulation or zone control is needed, or when the operation requires continuous high-volume throughput.
Does Barron Equipment install conveyor systems?
Yes. Barron Equipment provides conveyor system planning, professional installation, and ongoing service. The team evaluates product requirements, facility layout, and automation needs to recommend and install the right solution.
What industries use conveyor systems from Barron Equipment?
Barron serves warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, food processing, metalworking, automotive, e-commerce fulfillment, and packaging operations. Conveyor solutions are matched to the specific material handling requirements of each industry.
Can Barron Equipment help plan a custom conveyor layout?
Yes. Barron’s team works with operations managers and engineers to evaluate load specifications, throughput goals, floor plans, and integration requirements before recommending a conveyor system design. Request a quote online or contact the team directly for custom conveyor planning.
