Light goods conveyors move cartons and totes reliably across your line. ARCO engineers belt platforms in modular and flat variants to match product geometry and layout. The result is controlled flow with stable tracking and clean transfers between stations.
At junctions, merge sections regulate infeed and keep queues short. Transfers and diverts route each item to the correct lane under PLC control. We tune speed, side guides and roller sets so products enter and exit without damage.
Where buffering is needed, accumulation zones create gentle pressure or zero pressure blocks. This protects pack quality and reduces micro stops. Drives and sensors connect to the central PLC for safe interlocks and overload protection, which keeps throughput predictable across shifts.

ARCO’s light goods conveyors are designed for cartons, trays, and totes that require controlled transport and reliable flow. The systems combine precise movement, smooth transfers, and modular flexibility to fit any intralogistics layout. Built for continuous operation, they form the backbone of automated lines in e-commerce, food, and retail environments.
How light goods conveyors work in practice
In practice, cartons and totes enter a belt or roller section where sensors space items and the PLC manages speed and release timing for each zone. Merge units feed a main line, transfers hand off between belts, and powered diverts send items to a side exit at 30 or 45 degrees for accurate routing. Accumulation zones create a controlled buffer with zero pressure, so packs wait without contact while upstream work continues. Modular belts combine straight and curved paths in one system, which simplifies layout and future upgrades. The result is stable flow and clean handovers across shifts.
