Overhead Conveyor Systems for the Oil & Gas Industry
Streamline Finishing and Material Handling for Gas Meters, Pipes, Propane Tanks and More
Pacline overhead conveyor systems offer reliable and space-saving solutions for manufacturers in the oil and gas industry. Whether you’re refurbishing propane tanks, finishing gas meters, or coating industrial pipes, our conveyors are engineered to improve productivity, reduce manual handling, and streamline manufacturing operations.
Why Overhead Conveyors Are Ideal for Oil & Gas Manufacturing
In the oil and gas sector, manufacturers face unique challenges: handling heavy, awkwardly shaped components, maintaining clean and safe work environments, and optimizing throughput in high-mix, high-volume operations. Pacline’s overhead conveyor systems are engineered to meet these demands with precision, durability, and flexibility.
Whether you’re refurbishing propane tanks, finishing gas meters, or coating industrial piping, our overhead conveyors help automate and optimize your processes reducing labor and increasing productivity.
Examples of Applications in Oil & Gas Manufacturing
Pacline overhead conveyors are trusted in a wide range of oil and gas applications, such as:
Propane Tank Refurbishing
Automate the refurbishing of propane tanks. Our rotator-equipped carriers can either be manually rotated or automatically rotated to ensure a more uniform finish and deliver a quicker finished product.
Gas Meter Finishing Lines
Move meters through pre-treatment, painting, and curing stages with minimal manual handling. Our enclosed track design protects the conveyor chain from overspray and debris.
Pipe and Cylinder Coating
Handle long, heavy, or cylindrical parts with ease. Our PAC-MAX™ and I-Beam systems support high-capacity loads and tight turning radii.
Key Benefits for Oil & Gas Operations
-
- Durability in Harsh Environments: All our Pac-Line systems are zinc-plated to provide a protective finish against chemicals, moisture, and high temperatures. Horizontal and vertical curves are heat-treated to provide better durability around curves. Stainless steel track is ideal for systems incorporating wash stations for added durability against moisture.
- Heavy Load Handling: Our PAC-MAX™ and I-Beam conveyors can carry heavy loads, making them perfect for dense metal components.
- Space Optimization: Free up valuable floor space by utilizing overhead real estate. Our systems can be ceiling-hung or floor-supported, depending on your facility layout.
- Automation-Ready: Integrate with robotic loading/unloading and powered rotators for maximum efficiency and minimal labor.
- Improved Safety & Ergonomics: Reduce manual lifting and forklift traffic. Our enclosed track design eliminates pinch points and protects operators.
