Transfer tables
A transfer unit is an essential component of modern conveyor systems, designed for perpendicular direction changes of the transported items. This component is crucial for ensuring smooth handling and optimized material transportation in systems where changing direction is required without the need for stopping or complex interventions. Transfer units are designed to enable fast and safe changes in product orientation, which increases productivity and simplifies logistics.
The most common transfer unit combinations include roller conveyors and chain conveyors or roller conveyors and belt conveyors. These combinations provide flexibility and the ability to tailor the system to the specific requirements of the production or storage environment. Chain conveyors are typically ideal for transporting heavier materials, while belt conveyors are often chosen for products requiring more delicate handling.
Transfer units are frequently used in automated lines, where it is necessary to change the direction of goods for further stages of production or sorting. Conveyor systems with transfer units significantly improve logistics and optimize material flow, leading to higher productivity and lower operating costs. An additional advantage of these systems is their modularity—each segment can be adapted to specific needs, increasing the overall flexibility of the production process.

FAQs
A transfer table provides a perpendicular change in the direction of transported items between conveyor tracks. It moves goods from one conveyor track to another. Material flow therefore remains smooth, productivity increases and the layout of the entire line is simplified. Transfer tables are used wherever multiple tracks need to be connected and product orientation needs to be changed quickly.
Choose a transfer table when goods need to be moved perpendicularly from one track to another, i.e. between adjacent tracks. A turntable is suitable where an item needs to be rotated or directed into several directions from a single point. The two solutions differ in handling method and space requirements. We select the appropriate type according to the line layout, dimensions and weight of the goods and required throughput. More information about rotation options can be found on the turntables page.
Transfer tables are most commonly combined with roller and chain conveyors or with roller and belt conveyors. Chain conveyors are suitable for heavier materials, while belt versions are selected for gentler handling of more sensitive goods. We design the specific combination according to the type of transported goods and the nature of the operation. The transfer table thus becomes part of the overall conveyor solution and connects to the existing tracks.
The load capacity and speed of a transfer table depend on the specific design and required operating capacity. We design the parameters according to the weight and dimensions of the transported goods, required line throughput and selected conveyor combination. For heavier materials we choose more robust designs with chain conveyors, while lighter and more sensitive goods use gentler belt versions. Every solution is based on the customer’s real requirements, so we determine the specific values only during the design stage.
Yes, we design transfer tables to connect to existing conveyor tracks and the control system. LOGSYS is a Czech manufacturer and integrator of conveyor technology, so we prepare the solution to suit each specific operation, from design through manufacturing and installation to service. Thanks to the modular design, the transfer table can be adapted to the specific needs and dimensions of the line. It is advisable to discuss the solution as early as the planning stage so that the transfer table fits the material flow precisely.
