We have the ability to precisely scan a system and design new equipment to install seamlessly into the existing equipment. Less guess work – less downtime – seamless installations

Design Software – US Conveyor designs in both 2D and 3D CAD at the preference of the customer. We use the latest technologies in CAD software to make sure that your equipment is designed to install easier, operate safer and maximize ergonomics.

Research and Development – Unlike our competitors, US Conveyor Technologies has a dedicated research and development team that works together with our current customers and at our own facility to test and refine our conveyor designs. 3D printing has also become an important part of our prototyping phase to test fit and proper operation before production.
