New Lineshaft Conveyor System Enhances Distribution Operations For Global Beauty Product Organisation

30th October 2026

A leading global beauty and personal care organisation has enhanced its in-house distribution and logistics operations following the installation of a new lineshaft conveyor system at one of its key facilities.

Supporting product movement across a busy distribution environment, the new conveyor system has been designed to improve material handling efficiency, maintain a consistent flow of goods and support the facility's day-to-day order fulfilment activities.

The installation incorporates a combination of straight lineshaft conveyor sections, an integrated belt booster and powered tapered roller bends, providing a practical and efficient solution for transporting cartons and packaged products throughout the operation.

Integrated Belt Booster for Incline and Decline Handling

A key feature of the installation is the integrated belt booster section, designed to support the smooth movement of products where a change in conveyor elevation is required.

While conventional lineshaft conveyors use powered rollers to transport products along level sections, inclined or declined movements can present challenges due to reduced friction between the rollers and the underside of cartons.

The integrated belt booster provides additional grip and controlled product movement, helping to minimise slipping and maintain a reliable flow of goods between conveyor levels.

Powered Tapered Roller Bends for Smooth Directional Changes

The system also incorporates powered tapered roller bends, enabling cartons to navigate changes in conveyor direction while maintaining product stability and orientation.

Unlike standard cylindrical rollers, tapered rollers accommodate the different travel distances required around a curve, helping products move smoothly through bends with reduced risk of misalignment or sideways movement.

These conveyor modules allow the system to follow the available warehouse layout while maintaining an efficient and continuous product flow.

Supporting Efficient Distribution and Logistics

In a fast-moving beauty and personal care distribution environment, reliable material handling is essential for inventory movements, order processing and outbound despatch activities.

The new lineshaft conveyor installation provides a flexible and effective means of transporting packaged goods between operational areas, helping to reduce manual handling requirements and support improved workflow efficiency.

By combining proven lineshaft conveyor technology with specialist belt booster and tapered roller bend sections, the installation delivers a practical material handling solution tailored to the requirements of a modern distribution and logistics facility.

The completed project represents a further investment in efficient, reliable conveyor technology, supporting the operational demands of a high-volume distribution environment.
