Not only production and packaging departments but also final retail chains rely on conveyor automation. Traditional checkout counters of all or most hypermarkets, supermarkets and grocery stores are none other than belt conveyors, indeed. Rulmeca is a reliable partner for this specific application with an extremely versatile range of components for unit handling conveyors.

Supermarkets and stores requirements

Uncountable people go grocery shopping and just as many products are transported by supermarkets checkouts every day. Belt conveyors are the best solution for cashiers to bear such high rates and customers flow in a safe, fast and constant manner. They manage to simplify and accelerate their operations, maximizing service efficiency and meeting customer satisfaction. First, the non-continuous running with frequent start and stop cycles allows cashiers to move and scan items gradually but still rapidly. Moreover, checkout belt conveyors are safe for both personnel and transported products. On one hand, if properly designed, they can provide a silent running which is desirable for a more comfortable workspace. On the other hand, they can meet hygiene regulations to ensure the safety of any transported product, especially foodstuff. Finally, belt conveyors combine performance and efficiency in a compact structure. This is convenient both in little grocery stores where the available space is reduced and in large supermarkets where dimensions and customers’ flow require the setup of more than one checkout counter.
