Dorner Expands Conveyor Manufacturing to Germany

Dorner’s move to begin building its top-selling 2200 Series low-profile belt conveyors in Germany enables customers throughout Europe have their equipment deliveries complete faster.

The production of the 2200 Series started at Dorner GmbH in Jülich, Germany. The low profile 2200 Series is a versatile line, engineered for numerous applications and industries, including accumulation, small-part transfers, inclines and declines, automated and manual assembly, packaging and industrial, the company explains.

Customers can also design their 2200 Series Conveyors using D-Tools, Dorner’s online conveyor configurator.  D-Tools is intended to help users select, design, configure and view conveyors in an intuitive 2D and 3D CAD platform. 2200 Series Conveyors will be available in D-Tools in German, Spanish and English languages; currencies will be Euros, U.S. dollars and Malaysian ringgit.

The conveyor line recently underwent a redesign to make the product stronger, faster and more flexible. Additionally, a 16 mm nose bar transfer option with V-Guided belt tracking safely transfers parts at speeds up to 61 meters per minute for increased productivity.

In 2016, Dorner expanded its presence in Germany through the acquisition of Geppert-Band GmbH, a belt conveyor manufacturer based in Jülich. Earlier this year Geppert-Band GmbH was consolidated into the Dorner brand. All Dorner products, as well as former Geppert-Band GmbH belts, conveyors and equipment, will be supported through the Jülich, Germany facility.
