who makes the best conveyor??

Greg: The best one is the cheapest used one (that fits in the hole) from any company whose name you recognize, like: Simplimatic Engineering, POBox11709 Lynchburg VA 24506 800.238.3700 fax804.582.1200 Pat Ortz 561.793.9140 fax407.793.9568 Process Control, 515 Factory Rd., Addison IL 60101 630.629.6900fax6980 John Youkhana Proline, 515 Factory Rd., Addison, IL 60101 800.689.3300 fax 708.629.0405 UMSCO 1301 Broadway NE, Albuquerque NM 87102-1543 505.242.2650 fax5020 Dennes Goswick Conveyor Technologies 5313 Womack RD Sanford NC 27330 919.776.7227 fax 774.3097

Sometimes that's tough, because they seem to be changing their names/getting acquired like Pokemon card at BK on Teuseday noghts. A good source of used equipment is: Techmation 205.956.1323fax13333

On other measure of a good company might be their skills in setting-up your line.

Good luck Dave F

I've been impressed with Universal Instruments in Binghamton, NY. We've been working on a possible SMT line with them because they do everything from soup to nuts. The quality/service so far has been great (and to Dave F's comment, I believe they've been the same company forever). Try contacting Bruce Nemcek there at (607)779-4626.

I have implemented and worked with many brands of conveyors and I will have to say the best quality, lowest price and durability have to be ASYS conveyors.

There are many available: Simplimatic Process Control Technology (PCT) JOT PMJ Bosch Dynapace Nutek Applied Conveyor Engineering (ACE) A wholly owned division of Universal Instruments and made for UIC integration of their products.

This is just but a small snapshot.

You need to decide who is the right vendor for the right application/price. All things being equal.
