Powercon Handling Systems has completed the supply of gravity roller conveyors for Le Creuset of South Africa, Inc. based in Johannesburg. Delivered in August 2025, the project was turned around in just two weeks from manufacture to supply. The modular design allowed the customer to self‑install the system with no difficulties, accelerating time to install and minimizing disruption in the packaging area.
Project at a glance
- Client: Le Creuset of South Africa, Inc.
- Application: Packaging line – packing cookware into boxes for shipping
- Conveyor type: Modular Gravity Roller Conveyor
- Lead time: 2 weeks to manufacture and supply
- Installation: Customer self‑install (modular sections)
Built for cookware packaging
The conveyor was specifically engineered around Le Creuset’s product and packaging workflow. Smooth, closely‑pitched rollers and an ergonomic working height help operators stage and box cookware efficiently while keeping manual handling low and product flow consistent.
Technical specifications
| Inside frame width | 457 mm (~18.0 in) |
| Rollers | 38 mm (~1.50 in) gravity rollers |
| Roller pitch (centres) | 100 mm (~3.94 in) |
| Frame finish | Powder‑coated Black (our standard), providing durable protection and a modern appearance |
| Roller finish | Bright galvanised for corrosion resistance and clean visual contrast |
| Working height | 800 mm (~31.5 in), fully adjustable for ergonomic setup |
| Construction | Modular sections for fast site handling and straightforward self‑installation |
Why a gravity roller conveyor for this project?
- No power required: Simple, low‑maintenance flow for end‑of‑line packing.
- Product‑friendly handling: Smooth transfer for boxed cookware with controlled movement over short, closely spaced rollers.
- Ergonomics first: Adjustable 800 mm height supports safer, more comfortable operator posture.
- Modular growth: Sections can be reconfigured or extended as packing needs evolve.
Customer installation made simple
By supplying the conveyor in modular sections, we enabled Le Creuset’s team to install the system themselves, reducing on‑site time, avoiding scheduling delays, and keeping the packaging area productive.
