A leading UK-based pizza manufacturer approached Alway in early 2025 to design and build a bespoke conveyor system for their high-throughput production line. With growing demand and a need for greater flexibility in their packaging area, the client required a reliable solution that could handle a variety of pizza products with minimal downtime and maximum efficiency.
Our engineering team delivered a turnkey conveyor system tailored to suit the facility’s layout, product mix, and operational requirements.
The client needed a robust and hygienic conveyor line that could:
Handle multiple sizes of pizzas
Accommodate a flexible packing process with automated routing to different stations.
Offer quick clean-down features to meet strict hygiene standards.
Integrate with existing systems and floor space constraints.
Alway engineered a fully stainless steel conveyor system featuring:
Custom Diverter Unit: An automatic diverter to distribute products between multiple lanes, increasing packing line efficiency and allowing flexible routing to match product types or operational needs.
Modular Construction: Designed for future upgrades and ease of maintenance.
Compact Footprint: Layout tailored to fit the existing space while optimising flow and operator access.
Integrated Controls: Designed and installed by Alway’s in-house electrical team for seamless automation with existing line controls.
The conveyor system was fitted with Intralox modular plastic belting to ensure top-tier reliability, hygiene, and performance. The use of Intralox belting provided:
Hygienic Design: Easy-to-clean, durable materials that meet food safety standards.
Precision Product Handling: Smooth movement for delicate pizza bases and toppings.
Reduced Downtime: Proven performance and long lifespan in food environments.
“Intralox belting has proven ideal for our pizza line projects. Its cleanability and long-term durability make it a great choice for food-grade applications—and their team was incredibly responsive and helpful from design through to delivery.” – Guy Satterthwaite, Lead Engineer for Alway.
We’re proud to partner with Intralox to deliver best-in-class conveying systems that meet the evolving needs of modern food production lines.
Since installation, the system has:
Increased product throughput
Reduced manual handling across packing lines.
Enabled greater flexibility for the client’s expanding product range.
Delivered smooth, consistent performance with minimal maintenance.
The completed conveyor system has helped the client improve throughput, reduce manual handling, and maintain high hygiene standards while giving them greater flexibility for future growth.
Working with proven components like Intralox belting contributed to a reliable and efficient solution that integrates smoothly into daily operations.
