AUTOMATED SYSTEMS

AUTOMATED MATERIAL HANDLING

Con-Vey designs and manufactures automated material handling equipment for engineered wood products and other building materials.

Our knowledgeable, innovative, and skilled team of engineers, machinists, and fabricators build new systems as well as upgrade existing systems to handle and move wood products, including Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Plywood, I-Joists, Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Oriented Strand Lumber (OSL), Fiber Panels, Mineral Composite Panels, and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT).

Our focus is on the finishing line processes after the press. Taking the master panels and then sizing, grading, sanding, and stacking them into a finished product is where our expertise shines. We also have extensive experience in secondary value-added processes like laminating lines, packaging lines, and specialty lines.
