Overview
Material handling is integral in maintaining productivity, and it involves far more than handling inventory. It entails moving, storing, controlling, and protecting materials throughout their lifespan. Material handling takes place throughout every stage of a material’s life cycle from manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution to consumption and disposal. Material handling comes with many benefits, such as the ability to assist with forecasting, production planning, resource allocation, inventory management and control, delivery to consumers, and certain after-sales services. Megadyne’s extensive experience is crucial in the Material Handling market which is all about precise positioning and placement. With a broad portfolio of belt types, process capabilities and material options Megadyne belts are used in general conveying, speciality handling and high-speed bi-directional lifting applications.
Material Handling Systems
Successful material handling systems require many different components to achieve efficient results. Material handling systems assist with sorting products in distribution centres. They are highly automated to optimize the productivity and efficiency of a variety of operations. Properly implemented and well-designed material handling solutions reduce operational costs and improve services for a wide range of businesses.
Megadyne's Material Handling Solutions
The experts at Megadyne continue to keep pace with the rapid developments in the Material Handling Industry. As a result, we have expanded our selection of polyurethane timing belts to meet this industry's specific requirements and overcome its various challenges. The latest in our line of top-quality products is Megalinear QST, which offers perfect tracking, positive drive, and minimal noise.
Applications that benefit from our innovative solutions include:
Automated Storage Retrieval System (ASRS)
Large warehouses and distribution centres use computer-aided technology to move and store small and large goods being inventoried. Megadyne high-strength synchronous belts are used in both single and double-mast fixed aisle lift systems, as well as on gantry cranes and carousel systems.
Transport Platform
As part of the ASRS systems, transport platforms are used to shuttle the goods being stored from the lifting apparatus to the storage rack. Timing belts with high friction and wear-resistant covers are used to telescope products into the dedicated storage location.
Offloading & Delivery Conveyors
Offloading and delivery conveyors are typically fitted with at belts, however multiple path polyurethane timing and rubber belts with high friction covers are also common. Special cover materials are available on belts used where accumulation occurs.
Diverters
In today's warehousing and distribution environments, offloading products for specific fulfilment needs can be accomplished with high friction belt right angle diverters. Starting with a base synchronous belt, we offer a broad range of high-friction cover surfaces. From Megalinear joined polyurethane synchronous belts and Megaflex truly endless polyurethane synchronous belts with TPU smooth covers, to rubber synchronous belts with homogeneous covers, along with speciality cover materials like DuraTaq® high friction.
Pallet Conveyor
Pallet Handling Conveyors are designed to move light to heavy loads in a precise, flexible manner. Used in warehouse picking and delivery systems or assembly operations in many manufacturing environments. Starting with a base synchronous belt, we offer a broad range of high-friction cover surfaces.
Roller Conveyor
Timing belts or poly-v rib belts are commonly used on roller conveyors. On the external side of the roller, power transmission belts deliver power from the motor to the main driven conveyor roller. From this stage, rollers are interconnected by either timing belts or poly-v rib belts, some of which can be produced with elastic-stretch properties.

Automatic Warehouse
In the logistics field, continuous improvement is important as the number of goods handled in distribution centres is ever-increasing. The ability to quickly process goods while maximising storage space is a key initiative. Minimising labour and reducing costs is another common motivation. Increasingly, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are the solution chosen by supply chain managers to achieve these goals. An AS/RS system consists of a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations.
An efficient AS/RS system reduces warehousing expenses by minimising the amount of unnecessary products in storage and improving the organization of the warehouse contents. Accuracy is critical because of the potential for damage to expensive products and safety is also a high priority with heavy loads being lifted to great heights.
A manufacturer of AS/RS systems contacted the Megadyne application engineering team for assistance with their drive system. They needed a clean, economical, quiet and lightweight system that guaranteed smooth, precise movement in a compact space with a minimum amount of componentry. Chain drives were the solution in the past but in testing, they proved unable to achieve the demanding high performance requirements of the customers’ new modern equipment.
Megadyne can provide a complete drive system meeting all the performance requirements of a modern AS/RS system. Read more below.
