Overhead & Inverted Monorail Conveyors – Built Around Your Flow

Every factory has a rhythm. Powercon’s job is to keep the rhythm moving.

Powercon specialise in the design and manufacture of Over Head and Inverted Monorail conveyors that move parts, products and packaging reliably – day after day, shift after shift. From paint and finishing lines (including E‑coating, Powder Coating and Dipping) to general manufacturing and Fruit Pack Houses that need fast, gentle Carton Distribution, their systems are engineered to unlock throughput, protect product quality and free up floor space.

What they make

They build purpose‑designed Monorail Conveyor Systems around your process:

  • CR45 and CR60 monorail systems – extremely versatile, heavy‑duty workhorses for paint shops, curing ovens, wash bays and high‑utilisation manufacturing cells.
  • PC406 conveyor system – a proven platform where compact footprints and tight radii are essential without sacrificing reliability.
  • X Series forged‑chain monorails and other specialised monorail conveyors – selected and configured for demanding environments, high temperatures and continuous duty cycles.

Whether you need Overhead Conveyors to reclaim floor space or inverted conveyors to protect precision finishes and eliminate contamination, they design, manufacture and commission the right system for your application.

Where their conveyors excel

  • Painting & finishing: Smooth part presentation to spray booths, e‑coat tanks, powder coat booths and dipping lines—with precise dwell times and cure‑oven reliability.
  • Manufacturing & assembly: Robust, low‑maintenance transport of components and sub‑assemblies between workstations, test areas and packing.
  • Fruit pack houses: High‑speed carton distribution across the pack house, balancing lines and feeding stations to match seasonal peaks without bottlenecks.

Why companies choose Powercon

  • Engineered for uptime: Simple, serviceable designs, quality components and proven chain/track combinations minimise unplanned stops.
  • Built to your layout: Tight turns, elevation changes, accumulation and indexing—configured to your takt time and footprint.
  • Process‑ready: Materials and components selected for chemicals, washdowns and oven temperatures typical of e‑coating and powder coating operations.
  • Lifecycle support: From concept and simulation to fabrication, installation, operator training, spares and preventative maintenance.

Trusted in the real world

Powercon monorails power production and packaging at many companies including Ceres, KIC, Defy Appliances, Kolor Kote, Feltex, Med Automation, BFG Retail, Betco Pack House, Cylpro Cylinder Revalidators, Sodecia Automotive Parts, Rheinmetall Denel, Ariston Thermo Geysers, Mars Manufacturing, Sharp Metal Pressings, Oryx Energies, Trellidor Security Gates, Xpanda Security Gates and many more.

How they work (design → build → support)

  1. Site walk‑through & process study – they analyse parts mix, takt time, load sizes, finish requirements and future growth.
  2. System design – choosing the right platform (CR45, CR60, PC406 or X Series forged‑chain), routing, drives, controls and safety.
  3. Manufacture & factory acceptance – in‑house fabrication and pre‑assembly to simplify and speed up installation.
  4. Installation & commissioning – coordinated with your production schedule to minimise downtime.
  5. Aftercare – spares, upgrades, audits and training to keep your conveyor—and your output—running at its best.

Results you can count on

  • Higher throughput with balanced lines and reliable accumulation.
  • Better finishes thanks to steady speeds, accurate dwell times and clean handling.
  • Safer, cleaner floors by moving product overhead or in protected inverted tracks.
  • Lower total cost of ownership through durable chains, tracks and trolleys—and easy maintenance access.

FAQ: Monorail Conveyors for Finishing, Manufacturing & Pack Houses

What’s the difference between overhead and inverted monorail conveyors?
Overhead monorails free up floor space and keep product above traffic and debris—ideal for paint and finishing lines. Inverted monorails carry items above the track, and is low mounted. These are ideal for small parts paint and powder coating lines.

How do I choose between CR45, CR60, PC406 and X Series forged‑chain systems?
We match the platform to your loads, speeds, temperatures and layout. As a rule of thumb, CR45/CR60 handle the majority of finishing and manufacturing tasks (with CR60 covering heavier duty), PC406 shines where compact routing is critical, and X Series forged‑chain is selected for demanding, heavy loads.

Can your conveyors handle e‑coat, powder coat and dipping processes?
Yes. We specify chains, trolleys, bearings and hangers rated for chemicals, humidity and cure‑oven temperatures typical of e‑coating, powder coating and dipping. We also design for drainage, drip management and safe oven/booth integration.

Do you supply conveyors for fruit pack houses?
Absolutely. We design carton distribution monorails that feed, buffer and balance multiple lines and stations, helping pack houses absorb seasonal peaks without congestion.
