Senad Belt Conveyor

Most conveyors are bought for what they carry. The Senad Belt Conveyor is bought for what it creates: empty space between one parcel and the next. In a warehouse where packages arrive close together, that small stretch of open belt is what lets the scanning and weighing equipment downstream treat each parcel as its own item.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

SENAD and warehouse automation

SENAD is a brand of warehouse automation and logistics equipment. Its range covers machines that handle parcels and cartons at several stages of the flow, from vision workstations and palletizing robots to guided vehicles and sorting equipment. Belt conveyors are the connecting pieces in that kind of range. They are not the most visible machines on a warehouse floor, but every automated line depends on them.

This conveyor is described by its source as a gravity powered logistics warehouse parcel package conveyor for material handling and transportation. It is offered with a DWS and sorting conveyor arrangement, which tells you where it belongs: in the middle of a parcel-processing line, not at its edge. You can see the wider offer on the Senad category page.

The speed-difference principle

The key idea in this conveyor is a speed difference. When parcels move from one belt section onto another that runs differently, the distance between them changes. The Senad Belt Conveyor uses this effect to enlarge the gap between parcels.

The reason is practical. Before parcels are scanned and weighed, each one must be separated from the parcels in front of and behind it by a certain distance. Only then can the DWS system read the parcels one by one. The conveyor does this one job, and it does it before the parcel reaches the reading equipment.

Technical Specifications

The manufacturer has not published the belt speed, the belt material, the motor power, the load capacity, the weight, the overall dimensions, the power supply, the package contents or the control interface; they are confirmed at quotation.

What does the Senad Belt Conveyor do ahead of a DWS station?

A DWS station measures dimensions, weight and barcode data. It does this well when one parcel is in front of it at a time. When two parcels touch or overlap, the reading can be wrong, and the error carries on to the sorter. The conveyor is there to prevent that.

It works through its speed difference. Parcels leave the conveyor with more distance between them than when they arrived, so the DWS system can read them individually. The conveyor does not read or weigh anything itself. Its job is to prepare the flow for the machines that do.

The 800mm belt width gives each parcel room on the surface. The length is given as 1+1m. Together, these two figures define the footprint you plan around when you place the unit in a line.

How does it fit with other warehouse machines?

The source says the conveyor mainly works with warehouse automation machines. These are dimensioning weighing scanning machines, telescopic belt conveyors, parcel singulation machines and parcel sorting machines.

That makes the order of the line fairly clear. Parcels may first be singulated, then gapped on this conveyor. They are then read by a DWS machine and directed on to a sorter, or fed to a telescopic belt conveyor for loading. If you are planning the reading stage, the Senad 4-Ports DWS page shows one of the DWS machines in the range. Ask us when you request a quotation whether it suits your parcel mix and conveyor layout.

Who is the Senad Belt Conveyor for?

The first group is operators of parcel and package warehouses who are adding or upgrading a DWS station. If their scanning results suffer because parcels arrive too close together, a gapping conveyor is the direct remedy.

The second group is system integrators who put together sorting lines for logistics centers. They need a conveyor that is built for a specific role and works with named neighboring machines, rather than a general-purpose belt.

The third group is distribution and e-commerce fulfilment teams who handle growing parcel volumes. Manual spacing of parcels does not keep up with that growth, and a conveyor that spaces them automatically takes that task off the floor staff.

If your need is only to carry goods from A to B with no reading or sorting stage, this conveyor is probably more specialized than you need. Tell us about your line when you request a quotation, and we will say so plainly.

What is the Senad Belt Conveyor used for?

1. Gapping parcels before DWS. It enlarges the distance between parcels so each can be read separately.
2. Feeding dimensioning, weighing and scanning machines. Parcels reach the reader spaced and in order.
3. Supporting parcel singulation. It works with singulation machines further along the process.
4. Leading into parcel sorting. Spaced and identified parcels go on to sorting machines.
5. Linking to telescopic belt conveyors. It forms part of a path toward loading.
6. Warehouse parcel transportation. It moves packages between process steps in a logistics warehouse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the belt?

The belt width is 800mm and the length is 1+1m.

How does it separate the parcels?

It uses a speed difference to enlarge the gap between parcels. Each parcel is then clear of the ones in front and behind it.

Why do parcels need to be separated before scanning?

The DWS system reads parcels one by one. If parcels are too close, they cannot be read separately.

Which machines does it work with?

It works with dimensioning weighing scanning machines, telescopic belt conveyors, parcel singulation machines and parcel sorting machines.

What is the belt speed or load capacity?

Those details, along with motor power and weight, come with the quotation. Send us your requirements and we will answer them there.

Is it only for parcels?

The product is described for parcels and packages in logistics warehouses. If you plan another use, describe it when you ask for a quotation.

Where can I buy the Senad Belt Conveyor and what does it cost?

You can buy it through this page by requesting a quotation. The cost is given in that quotation, together with delivery, customs and support arrangements.

Summary

The Senad Belt Conveyor does its work by creating empty space. Through a speed difference it enlarges the gap between parcels, so the DWS system can read each one on its own. Its belt is 800mm wide and 1+1m long, and it is made to work with DWS machines, telescopic belt conveyors, singulation machines and sorting machines. If your line needs cleaner parcel spacing before scanning and weighing, this page is the starting point.
