Creform, the original pipe & joint material handling system helps assemblers be more productive and lower overall material handling costs by offering them a variety of unique products. Creform provides cost effective ways to design and build a wide variety of material handling structures including workstations, carts, flow racks and AGVs.
The addition of Creform 42mm heavy-duty pipe, Placon® Gravity Roller Conveyors and expanded AGV products provide users with new ways to increase productivity while supporting continuous improvement and lean programs.
CREFORM 42MM PIPE & JOINT SYSTEM
Creform 42mm pipe is 2-1/2 times stronger than any 28mm plastic coated pipe and joint system allowing you to build stronger structures using less pipe and joints. Over 50 joints, accessories and 42mm/28mm transition joints provide unlimited design options.
CREFORM PLACON PLASTIC ROLLER CONVEYORS
Creform Placon gravity roller conveyors provide stability and smooth material handling flow, meeting the challenges of conveying totes with soft bottoms, open cell designs or unpackaged parts. Precision 3” wide rollers spin freely on polished stainless steel axles and require lower flow lane angles than conventional skatewheel conveyors.
CREFORM AGV SYSTEMS
Creform AGV systems can help eliminate the need for manned tuggers or line side parts and component storage, freeing up valuable floor space. Creform AGVs can be built using pipe and joints and/or welded steel structures using a wide selection of bolt-on drives and BST undercarriage style tuggers. A variety of controls including plant-wide traffic control can manage most material handling challenges.
