Video: Cutting-edge conveyor systems for battery manufacturing
At this year’s Battery Show, Dorner and Garvey Corporation showcased the future of material handling solutions for EV and battery manufacturers. Dave Giffels, Dorner’s Business Development Manager, and Jacob Garvey from Garvey Corporation shared innovative systems poised to boost efficiency and productivity in the growing EV industry. These advanced conveyor and accumulation systems are designed to meet the specific challenges of modern battery and EV system production.
Dorner, under the Columbus McKinnon umbrella, showed us a range of products, including its standout DualMove Pallet System and Edge Roller Technology. These systems provide energy-efficient, cost-effective solutions for transporting materials throughout the manufacturing process. With customizable features like zoned stopping and precision positioning, they are perfect for battery manufacturers seeking to streamline their production lines.
A key highlight of Dorner’s offerings is Columbus McKinnon’s recent acquisition of montratec, a company specializing in fully autonomous shuttle-based transport systems. This advanced technology reduces the need for pneumatic stops, optimizes energy usage, and enhances safety with sensor-driven operations.
Meanwhile, Garvey Corporation’s Infinity accumulation system was designed to keep EV battery production moving without interruptions. By allowing products to flow continuously, this system has helped manufacturers increase efficiency by as much as 30%. Together, Dorner and Garvey are setting a new standard for how material handling can drive productivity and innovation in the electric vehicle space.
