Aggregate Industry
Aggregate applications typically operate for long hours while moving a high volume of materials. We offer solutions designed to withstand the harshest conditions while delivering the highest level of performance.
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.
How We Serve the Intralogistics Industry
Maximize Uptime & Performance
Engineered for continuous-duty parcel environments, direct reliability ensures maximum system availability and throughput.
Reduce Total Cost of Ownership
Solutions are designed to decrease maintenance demands, lower overall energy consumption, and optimize long-term operational efficiency.
Support Scalable Automation
Products seamlessly align with scalable strategies, working across OEMs, integrators, and end users to modernize parcel networks
End-to-End Industry Partnership
Sumitomo delivers proven motion and power transmission technologies for both new facility construction and retrofit projects.
Navigate Solutions by Application
In this environment, you cannot afford breakdowns. With that in mind, many major courier services commit to using our speed reducers for their reliability and high-efficiency performance. We have a wide range of products to match your specific industry need.
Aggregate Quarry
Belt Conveyors
Belt conveyors continuously transport packages across facilities using motor-driven belts, ensuring smooth, steady movement on inclines and declines.
Related Products:
Roller Conveyors
Roller conveyors move packages along series of revolving cylinders, utilizing gravity or powered rollers for efficient accumulation and sorting.
Related Products:
Accumulation Conveyors
Accumulation conveyors queue and buffer packages dynamically without stopping upstream lines, preventing damage and controlling throughput flow.
Related Products:
Inclines/Declines
Incline and decline conveyors transport packages between elevation levels, using high-friction belts to safely prevent back-sliding or runaway items.
Related Products:
Power Curves
Power curves smoothly transition package flow around corners without disrupting orientation, spacing, or throughput velocity along conveyor lines.

Cement Processing
Cross Belt Sorters
Cross-belt sorters use bi-directional mini-belts mounted on moving carriers to precisely discharge packages sideways into designated destinations.
Related Products:
Shoe Sorters
Shoe sorters use sliding divert blocks ("shoes") to gently push packages off a slat conveyor at precise angles into destination chutes.
Related Products:
Tilt-tray Sorters
Tilt/tray sorters carry packages on individual trays that tilt at target destinations, dropping items directly into assigned sorting chutes.
Related Products:
Divert Conveyors
Divert conveyors redirect packages off primary feed lines onto secondary spurs or chutes, utilizing pop-up wheels, arms, or angled belts.
Related Products:
Sand
Feed Conveyors
Feed conveyors meter and space incoming package streams onto high-speed sorters, establishing optimal gaps for accurate scanning and diverting.
Related Products:
Gapping Systems
Gapping systems dynamically adjust belt speeds to create precise, uniform spacing between packages for accurate scanning, weighing, and sorting.
Related Products:
Singulators
Singulators organize bulk, side-by-side package flows into a single-file line, enabling accurate downstream scanning, gapping, and automated sorting.
Related Products:
Metering Conveyors
Metering conveyors release packages at controlled intervals, matching downstream capacity and preventing line overloads during peak sorting.
