Intralogistics Industry
Reliability and Efficiency ensure your customers and their bags reach their destinations on time. Sumitomo gear reducers continue to drive the Airport Logistics Industry to new heights.
What Your Operation Is Up Against
Rising Throughput Demands
The continued growth of e-commerce has increased package volumes significantly. Facilities must process more parcels per hour while maintaining accuracy and minimizing labor costs.
Unplanned Downtime
Parcel hubs often operate 24/7, making equipment reliability critical. A single drive failure can create bottlenecks, reduce throughput, and jeopardize delivery commitments.
Energy and Operating Costs
Large distribution and sortation centers consume significant amounts of energy. Companies are seeking equipment that improves efficiency while lowering total cost of ownership.

Package Transport & Conveyance
Drag & Belt Conveyors
Drag and belt conveyors safely move bulk grain horizontally or at inclines, preventing grain damage while minimizing dust and spill risks.
Related Products:
Bucket Elevator
Bucket elevators haul bulk grain vertically in continuous buckets, offering high-capacity elevation with a compact structural footprint.
Related Products:
Screw Conveyor
Screw conveyors move bulk grain over short distances using a rotating helical blade, offering compact metering and controlled directional feeding.
Related Products:
Bin Sweep
Bin sweeps rotate along the floor of grain silos, clearing remaining grain from the outer edges and directing it to the central discharge chute.
Related Products:
Barge and Ship Unloading
Barge and ship unloaders use high-capacity pneumatic or mechanical leg systems to clear grain rapidly from vessel holds onto dock conveyors.
Related Products:
Airlocks/Valves
Rotary airlocks and valves regulate bulk grain flow while maintaining an airtight seal to prevent air leakage and dust migration in pneumatic systems.
Related Products:
Sorting and Routing
Rotary Drums
Rotary drums tumble bulk grain to continuously clean, dry, or separate impurities, providing uniform heat transfer and dust removal.
Related Products:
Mixers
Mixers blend grain, feed additives, and micro-ingredients into uniform batches to ensure consistent nutritional quality and product density.
Related Products:
Milling
Milling grinds, crushes, or shears raw grain kernels to break down the outer husk and produce refined flour, meal, or flakes.
Related Products:
Cookers
Industrial cookers apply heat and moisture to soften bulk grain, gelatinizing starches to prepare raw feed for processing or distillation.
Related Products:
Expanders & Expellers
Expanders use heat and friction to rupture grain structures, while expellers mechanically press grain to extract oil and create high-density meal.
Related Products:
Package Induction and Singulation
Extractors
Extractors use solvents or mechanical washing to separate oils, sugars, or proteins from processed grain flakes and crushed seeds.
Related Products:
Desolventizer Toaster/Dryer Cooler
Desolventizer toaster/dryer coolers remove residual solvents, cook meal to eliminate anti-nutrients, and cool it for safe storage.
Related Products:
Mixers/Agitators
Mixers and agitators blend liquids, slurry, and bulk grain additives, preventing solids settling and ensuring uniform chemical or nutrient distribution.
Related Products:
Pellet Mills
Pellet mills compress ground grain and feed mixtures through a metal die using heavy rollers, forming dense, uniform feed pellets.
Related Products:
Presses
Presses mechanically squeeze grain, germ, or wet byproduct using heavy screws or hydraulic force to extract liquid, oil, or moisture.
