Used Conveyors
Conveyors transport bulk materials, packaged goods, and components between processing stages. These systems use mechanical means—belts, screws, slats, or rollers—to move products horizontally, at an incline, or vertically through manufacturing operations.
Federal Equipment Company stocks belt conveyors, screw conveyors, and slat conveyors in widths from 3" to 60" and lengths up to 83’. Available configurations include horizontal, inclined, and specialty designs in stainless steel and carbon steel construction. Motor drives range from fractional HP to 75 HP to match throughput requirements.

Conveyor Types and Selection
Industrial conveyors serve distinct material handling functions based on product characteristics and process requirements. Belt conveyors offer continuous surface transport for packaged goods, bulk materials, and components across horizontal and inclined runs. Screw conveyors use rotating helical flights within tubes or troughs to move powders, granules, and semi-solid materials while providing controlled feed rates. Slat conveyors use linked plates or chains to precisely position products in packaging and assembly operations.
Federal Equipment Company carries conveyors from established manufacturers, including Hytrol, Garvey, Eriez, All-Fill, and Spaans. Inventory includes standard horizontal units, inclined configurations with cleated belts, vibrating conveyors, and specialty designs for pharmaceutical and packaging applications. All units can be inspected and tested at our facility prior to shipment.
Applications & Industries
- Bulk material transfer in chemical and plastics processing
- Product transport between filling, capping, and labeling stations in packaging lines
- Powder and granule feeding for solid dosage manufacturing
- Ingredient handling in food and beverage production
- Component transfer in pharmaceutical tablet and capsule operations
- Material elevation between processing levels
Specifications & Configurations
Conveyor specifications vary by type and application. Belt conveyors in stock range from 2.5" to 60" wide and up to 83’ long, with smooth, cleated, or perforated belt surfaces. Screw conveyors range from 4" to 27" diameter with lengths to 40’, available in tubular or trough configurations. Slat conveyors typically span 3" to 70" wide for bottle handling and accumulation applications.
Materials of construction include 304 and 316 stainless steel for sanitary applications and carbon steel for general industrial use. Drive options range from 0.125 HP fractional motors for light-duty transport to 75 HP drives for heavy bulk material handling. Configurations include horizontal, inclined (with discharge heights up to 25’), vertical screw designs, and bidirectional units for flexible line layouts.
Why Buy Used Conveyors
Used conveyors from Federal Equipment Company typically cost 40-60% less than new equipment while delivering equivalent performance. Lead times are measured in days rather than the weeks or months required for new conveyor fabrication. This allows faster project completion and reduced capital expenditure.
Federal Equipment Company offers inspection services at our Cleveland facility, where buyers can verify conveyor condition, test drive systems, and confirm dimensional specifications. Refurbishment services are available for units requiring belt replacement, motor upgrades, or structural repairs. Our technical staff can assist with conveyor selection based on your material characteristics, throughput requirements, and space constraints.
