TKF Conveyors brings an unmatched level of precision to material handling solutions through its customizable, heavy-duty conveyor systems. It draws on over seven decades of expertise to design and manufacture solutions tailored for the manufacturing industry.

“Our goal is to provide best-in-class solutions for the manufacturing sector, which often demands heavier and more customized material handling equipment,” says Peter Farwick, sales engineer. “We can custom design and build systems that meet customer requirements, no matter what products they are handling.”

TKF Conveyors offers a diverse product range, including high-performing and durable crane systems and advanced conveyor lines. Its products facilitate the safe and efficient movement of heavier products, especially for the automotive and appliance industries. One example is its PosiGrip roller conveyors, powered by smooth-operating, strong belts with a positive drive. This is ideal for industries like food and beverage processing as well as rugged applications where non-contact between conveyed products is essential. Valu-Lift is another standardized product that can be integrated with PosiGrip roller conveyors to lift products to multiple elevations. The company also sells vertical lifts and motorized roller conveyors to other system providers who cater to distribution centers.

Its services encompass everything from initial engineering concepts to final system design, manufacturing and installation. Whether providing turnkey systems as a systems integrator or delivering specialized engineered solutions, TKF Conveyors strives to build and market top-quality products.

A deep understanding of the material handling equipment, challenges and processes, underscored by years of experience handling sales and engineering, sets the company apart. Leveraging this proficiency, TKF Conveyors guides clients who are inexperienced in painting or manufacturing lines.

One notable example of its expertise is a project where the team designed a material handling system for an eco-friendly paint line at a leading automobile manufacturing plant. By utilizing its extensive knowledge in crane material handling conveyors, the company developed a highly specialized system that effortlessly transports, lifts and dips the truck frames into twenty different tanks. The system also tilts the frames in multiple directions to ensure even coverage, eliminate air bubbles and remove the excess paint. The conveyor then moves the painted truck frames to an oven for drying, making them ready for immediate use.
