Description

Mini-Mover Conveyors: The Low Profile Series small conveyor features an ultra-low-profile frame, originally designed for the metal stamping industry. This compact design allows for installations in confined locations and provides added accessibility for workers in assembly, packaging, labeling, and other operations. Mini-Mover Low Profile (LP) conveyors feature 1.5″ high, hard clear anodized aluminum frames. Our low profile conveyor offers optional T-slot side extrusions for simple accessory mounting, and a wide selection of fixed side guides and adjustable guide rail configurations.

Standard low-profile belt conveyor sizes range from 2″ to 16″ in width, and 12″ to 12′ in length. Drive packages are available in many varieties, both fixed or variable speed. Low-profile conveyor belt options are available in a variety of materials to suit most any application. Extended sizes, DC and pneumatic drives, dual belt and gang-drive conveyors are available on a build-to-order basis.

When equipped with the tapered Razor-Link™ Low Profile (LP) end option, Low Profile (LP) Series modules become ideal building blocks for close-proximity applications such as multi-station transition, small parts transfer and 90-degree turns.

Low Profile Series FAQ

I need to guide products to a certain point on the conveyor. Can I do that with the Low Profile?

Absolutely! The modular design of the Low Profile Series makes it extremely versatile when it comes to product guidance and positioning. We offer both fixed and adjustable side guides, as well as angled guide options to help direct products exactly where they need to go. Whether you are centering small parts, spacing products evenly, or guiding items into another machine or operation, the Low Profile Series can be configured to fit your application. Many customers also pair the conveyor with sensors, stops, or custom fixtures for even greater precision and repeatability.

Why is the belt the “highest” part of the conveyor on the Low Profile Series?

Having the belt be the “highest” portion of the conveyor allows for product to overhang the sides of the conveyor while still being able to move down the conveyor. This is a popular choice for die stamping operations. This design allows products to overhang the sides of the conveyor without interfering with the frame or side rails, making it ideal for wider or irregularly shaped products. It is especially popular in machining and metalworking operations where parts may extend beyond the width of the conveyor itself. The design also helps maximize usable belt surface while keeping the conveyor compact and easy to integrate into tight spaces.

Why choose the Low Profile over the Lite Series option?

The Low Profile Series is the ideal choice for customers who need a higher level of customization, precision, and flexibility. It offers expanded options for mounting accessories such as cameras, sensors, photo eyes, guides, and custom fixtures directly onto the conveyor. The thinner profile is also extremely beneficial in applications where spacing is limited or where the conveyor needs to fit under existing equipment. In addition, the Low Profile excels in applications requiring precise product positioning, timing, or integration into automated systems, making it a popular solution for advanced manufacturing environments.

What is the height of the Low Profile Conveyor?

The Low Profile Conveyor was specifically designed for applications where space is limited. Its side rails are only 1.5” tall, allowing the conveyor to fit easily into tight areas, under machines, or alongside existing equipment. The slim profile makes it a popular solution for automation cells, stamping presses, packaging equipment, and other applications where every inch matters. Despite its compact size, the conveyor still delivers reliable performance, durability, and customization options for demanding industrial environments.

I need replacement parts quickly. How fast can I get them?

We understand that downtime can be costly, which is why fast replacement part availability is a major priority for us. Many replacement components for the Low Profile Series can ship within one business day, helping you get back up and running as quickly as possible. Because the conveyor was designed with simplicity and serviceability in mind, many parts are easy to replace without extensive maintenance or specialized tools. Our team is also available to help identify the correct parts quickly so you can minimize production interruptions.
