CI Logistics Provide New Conveyor System For Europe’s Largest Calendar Retailer
In just eight years, Calendar Club has grown into Europe’s largest calendar seller. With 300 temporary retail outlets popping up in time for Christmas, the company now boasts over 2,700 calendars in its range.
It is precisely this consistent growth that has resulted in Calendar Club recently moving to bigger, more modern premises. And when it came to installing the conveyor system in its new Exeter headquarters, CI Logistics was on hand to provide the bespoke solution the company was looking for.
CI Logistics Installs New Automated Conveyor at Calendar Club HQ
To cope with the increasing demand for its products, Calendar Club recently moved to its new Exe Box premises on the Marsh Barton Trading Estate in Exeter. The site is now the company’s UK headquarters and distribution centre.
Four companies were invited to tender for the design and installation of a new automated conveyor system and CI Logistics came out on top.
Gee Barrett, Warehouse Manager for Calendar Club, explained why CI Logistics was chosen: “They demonstrated that they really understood what we wanted – not something standard or off the shelf, but a bespoke system. Price was important too and they were willing to give us favourable financial terms.”
CI Logistics designed an automated conveyor system consisting of four picking lines which index onto the main conveyor taking the products to despatch. Utilising parts of the existing conveyor system as per Calendar Club’s specification, operators pick the products from the live storage on either side of each of the picking lines.
Empty wrapping and boxes can then be placed up onto the dunnage belts which run above each conveyor – a process which, according to Barrett, has “revolutionised our packaging disposal procedure”.
In addition, CI was able to install the new system to Calendar Club’s timetable when other suppliers had been unable to deliver across the bank holiday weekend. Barrett concludes: “CI Logistics has worked hard to give us exactly what we want. It’s a good company with helpful staff who are always willing to offer advice when we need it.”
CI Logistics supplies overhead conveyors, floor conveyors, garment conveyors both in the UK and internationally. For more information about our range of conveyors, please call us now on 0116 276 1691.
CI Logistics Helps Honda Improve Its Assembly Line
Car manufacture has come a long way since Henry Ford introduced moving assembly belts into his plants nearly a hundred years ago. Over the last century, technological advancements, design changes and increased complexity of parts have resulted in massive changes to cars and how they are produced.
As cars become more technologically advanced, automobile manufacturers need to change the way they work in order to ensure they remain efficient. And, it was precisely this need that resulted in CI Logistics recently installing a brand new, state of the art towline conveyor at Honda’s UK manufacturing plant in Swindon.
New Towline Conveyor Installed At Honda’s UK Plant
Towline conveyorsconsist of a floor mounted enclosed track conveyor towing a series of mobile trolleys. The new Honda conveyor is an enclosed track, equally pitched towline conveyor constructed to pull the 20 individual trolleys carrying Honda Civic dashboards around the assembly line.
Due to the complex nature of the new dashboard, Honda needed to double the number of work stations on their assembly line. CI Logistics designed and installed the conveyor as well as developing software controls to ensure that the sub-assembly line was sequenced to the main assembly line. Once the dashboard is complete, it is fitted into a car body which is exactly in position to receive it.
Neil Adams, one of Honda’s New Model Project Engineers, explained how he chose CI Logistics for this vital job. He said: “I made a shortlist of three companies and when the quotes came in the one from CI Logistics was the most cost effective quote we received. It was for a monorail conveyor built around a 42m loop constructed from a proven design which is particularly suitable for the automobile industry.
“Although I had considered a friction drive conveyor, the one we selected from CI is a predominantly electronic, chain driven conveyor. Being robust, the conveyor requires low maintenance which is important for long term cost efficiency. The conveyor is also future model proofed – to assemble a different dashboard we only need to redesign the jig to fit a new model.”
Over 3,500 people work at Honda’s busy manufacturing site in Swindon. Each shift builds 300 cars which are destined for the UK, Europe and Russia. Using carefully sequenced assembly lines, a new Honda is produced every 85 seconds at the plant.
CI Logistics produces a range of towline conveyors which are particularly useful in the automotive industry. As well as this state of the art system for Honda, it has also completed many other systems including a 100m long towline conveyor for the assembly of large construction vehicles and a tractor cab assembly line.

How Overhead and Towline Conveyors Can Help Your Business
Since a conveyor first appeared on a railroad in Minneapolis-St Paul in the early 1900s, technological advances have resulted in the development of a huge range of different types of conveyor. While belt, gravity and roller conveyors are widely used in businesses across the world, there are other types of conveyor which are less well known.
Overhead and towline conveyors are two such systems. Our guide examines the main uses and benefits of these two types of conveyor.
An overhead conveyor allows you to transport products easily and simply using the roof space in your factory or premises. There are several types of overhead conveyor system including power conveyors, garment conveyors and electric monorail conveyors.
Moving items across your premises using an overhead conveyor can help improve the efficiency and speed of your operation. Rather than manoeuvring large items across your warehouse or factory, an overhead conveyor moves items quickly and easily between two points. Using the roof space also optimises the use of space in your premises, leaving you more floor space for other work.
We specialise in the design and installation of overhead conveyors. For example, the installation of the overhead conveyor system that we designed and built at the CMK Group plant increased their productivity by one fifth.
Towline conveyors are one of the many types of floor conveyor that we manufacture. They consist of a floor mounted enclosed track conveyor towing a series of mobile trolleys. You place the item to be conveyed on the mobile trolley and the floor mounted towline conveyor propels the mobile cart through your process.
Towline conveyors are useful where you need to carry a product through your premises or through a process on a mobile cart. For example, your products may be difficult to move due to their shape or size.
Towline conveyors can be mounted on the floor. Alternatively, should a flush floor be required they can be mounted within an excavated pit with floor plates used to cover the gap.
Towline conveyors are particularly useful in the automotive industry. We have completed many such systems including a tractor cab assembly line as well as a 100m long towline conveyor for the assembly of 12 tonne construction type vehicles.
Conveyors have come a long way since the first device was created to unload wood shingles from rail cars over a hundred years ago. With so many different types of conveyors available, it’s vital that you seek specialist advice from a company that has years of experience in designing and building conveyor systems.
Whether you need a towline, an overhead conveyor or one of the many other types of conveyor system currently available, Contact us now to find out how we can help.
What’s in a name? Getting the conveyor solution you want.
For better or for worse, every industry has its jargon or unique terminology and the materials handling/logistics market is no exception. Take the humble conveyor, for example. Its origins date back to the early 1900s when, in the Minneapolis – St. Paul area of North America, the first device was created to unload wood shingles from rail cars.
The initial conveyors manufactured were belt conveyors and so, as is often the case with a successful first product to market, by default the term ‘conveyor belt’ has become generic for any type of conveyor. The use of such general terms, however, has inherent dangers when specifying conveyor equipment.
Today there are a host of conveyors on the market from gravity roller to belt over roller and lineshaft to chain conveyors. To refer to all these specialist conveyor solutions using the generic ‘conveyor belt’ term can be very confusing, especially when there is more than one type of conveyor within a particular facility.
So what terms should be used when referring to conveyors? The information below provides a handy introduction to some of the more common options:
Gravity Roller Conveyors
No other type of conveyor is applied to so many gravity materials handling uses as the roller conveyor. Consisting of free rotating metal rollers contained in a frame, any item from small packages to heavy castings can be moved on a gravity roller conveyor.
In general, roller conveyors are used for handling smooth bottomed, wood, fibre or plastic containers, crates (without wire binding), drums, kegs and long narrow packaged materials.
The roller conveyor is not recommended for conveying soft bottom cartons or bags which will flex and fold or wrap around the upper carrying portion of the roller and thus prevent the free motion of such containers.
Power Conveyors
There are many different types of power conveyor which can be used in a conveyor system, each with a different but important function.
a. Belt Conveyors (aka: Belt Over Roller Conveyor)
Belt conveyors are used for the controlled movement of a large variety of both regular and irregular shaped products. They can move light to medium weight unit loads on a horizontal, inclined or declined path within the limits of product stability and the conveyor component capacities. The items being conveyed are carried by the top surface of the belt.
b. Belt Driven Live Roller Conveyors
A belt driven live roller conveyor consists of load rollers, a drive belt, return rollers and an external motor. The load rollers make up the surface on which product is transported. The rollers move using a belt that is located underneath the load rollers which provides friction directly on the rollers and creates forward movement. The return rollers are used to keep the belt in place under the conveyor as well as to maintain tension on the belt at all times.
Belt driven live roller conveyors can be used in accumulation, induction, and merge systems where product sizes and weights tend to vary. They provide limited capabilities for inclined movement or packages of differing shapes.
c. Lineshaft Conveyor
Lineshaft conveyors use a drive shaft which runs the length of the underside of the conveyor and drives the load rollers individually using belts. Since the rollers are individually powered, a lineshaft conveyor can easily be used for accumulation operations where there is a minimum amount of back pressure on the product being transported.
The driveshaft is powered by a motor. Some configurations of lineshaft conveyor allow the conveyor to run both forwards or backwards depending on the situation desired. With fewer moving parts, lineshaft conveyors are typically quieter than traditional live roller conveyors. The belts also assist in reducing noise by holding the rollers firmly in place inside the frames which results in less rattling.
d. Chain Conveyor
A chain driven live roller conveyor (sometimes referred to as a pallet conveyor) is typically used to transport heavier loads at controlled speeds. Chains drive sprockets on the load rollers which in turn drive a chain and the sprocket on the next roller, etc. These systems transmit the same amount of power to each roller thus ensuring a smooth, even ride.
The chain driven conveyor offers several advantages that other types typically do not or cannot. For instance, because there are no belts a chain driven conveyor can transport both hot and cold loads that could damage other conveyor types. The chain driven conveyor also resists contamination by grease and other particulate matter better than other conveyor types. This type of conveyor is also better able to tolerate uneven pallet bottoms or drums.
Specialist Advice
The above outlines the main types of conveyors available, but with many more options, such as accumulation, overhead and towline conveyors, the most important step to take when specifying a system is to talk to a specialist. A knowledgeable conveyor specialist will not only be able to advise you on the best possible combination of conveyor types to achieve your goals, but also deliver you the most cost effective solution.
The top three benefits of overhead conveyors….
If you need to transport products between two or more locations in your factory, warehouse or other premises, a conveyor system can provide the perfect solution. And, if you really want to maximise the space you have available, an overhead conveyor can allow you to transport products easily without interrupting other work.
So, if you’re considering an overhead conveyor, here are the top three benefits of such a system.
You can reduce your labour costs
An advantage of an overhead conveyor system is that it can significantly reduce your labour costs. Instead of staff having to manually move items across your warehouse or factory, they can now be carried on the overhead conveyor quickly and safely. For example, as a result of installing a power and free conveyor system for the CMK Group, their labour costs were reduced by 14 per cent.
You can improve productivity
One of the main advantages of a well-designed overhead conveyor system is that it can improve productivity in your plant or factory. Moving items overhead means that they can be taken from point A to point B in a straight line, avoiding the need for manoeuvring them around your premises. This saves time, meaning jobs can be concluded more quickly.
The installation of an overhead conveyor system at the CMK Group plant actually increased their productivity by one fifth. The powder coating plant in Birmingham benefited from a bespoke system which has significantly increased the capacity of the factory as well as improving the working environment.
They give you more space
Whatever type of company you run, you will know that space is always at a premium. Relocating can be costly and inefficient and so making better use of your current premises could be crucial to growing your business.
An overhead conveyor can be the ideal solution as it utilises a rarely used space in a warehouse or factory; namely the roof space.
Lightening the load with an overhead conveyor
Floor space is at a premium whatever business you are running. So if you need to move products around safely whilst keeping your valuable floor area clear, an ideal solution is to use the typically redundant roof space in your facility. An automatic transportation system, in the form of an overhead conveyor, will fit neatly into this void.
Choosing this option allows you to not only improve productivity, but also to reduce labour costs as there will be less (or no) manual handling of product as it moves around the factory. With fewer obstacles in the way, an overhead system can also be designed to use the most direct route, moving products ‘as the crow flies’. But there are many different ways of transporting goods overhead, so how do you decide which particular system would be best for you?
There are five main types of overhead conveyor: power chain or monorail; power and free; electrified monorail (EMS); a basic free conveyor or a towline system. Each one is manufactured using a modular construction and standard components in different configurations.
A typical overhead conveyor is mounted above with products hung from it. Power chain or monorail systems utilise a continuous chain running in or on a track. JCB has a heavy duty, drop forged power chain conveyor providing transport for a range of fabrications in its modern powder coating plant in the Heavy Products Division located in Uttoxeter.
An enclosed track, power only overhead conveyor is used for the assembly line of famous motorbikes, manufactured by Triumph Motorcycles at their Hinckley Works, where the 550 workforce assemble 13 different models.
A power and free conveyor has a twin track arrangement where a powered chain is mounted above a free running trolley track. This design offers a great deal of flexibility, allowing products to be diverted for various processes and accumulated for buffer storage. This particular type of conveyor has been installed in the CMK(Treatments) plant in Oldbury, Birmingham, and using it has enabled the company to increase their production capacity by 20%.
Manual conveyors are designed around a track with trolleys that are pushed around by operators. These types of conveyor are ideal and cost effective for when throughputs are relatively low. Electrified monorail conveyors utilise individual motorised trolleys with an inbuilt motor controlled by a busbar coupled to the track.
A towline conveyor is an inverted overhead chain conveyor. These systems are either mounted on or in the floor and are used to move products either directly from the chain on a jig or they can be used as a pushing or pulling medium for automatically moving products on work trolleys through various processes.
Overhead conveyors are mainly sited in the following industries; manufacturing and assembly (including automotive), warehousing/logistics and surface finishing (wet paint and powder).
Striking the right balance
The first condition to consider when selecting an overhead conveyor is the type, dimensions (envelope) and weight of the goods that will be transported. This will establish the overall carrying capacity required and the size of conveyor needed to ensure that the load remains stable. A large but light product may need to be transported by a heavier duty system to optimise the stability of the moving load.
Process requirement is the next determining factor – where will the conveyor be located and what type of production facility is it? Will the machinery be subject to hostile environments that could be corrosive in a pre-treatment plant for example, or the extreme heat of a curing oven?
Understanding the throughput of the goods to be carried is a vital element in the decision process regarding the speed and pitch of the conveyor. In some cases, different procedures in the production process require the conveyor to travel at varying speeds or indeed have elements where part of the conveyor remains stationary for periods of time.
If fast and flexible operations over short distances are needed, then an EMS or electrified monorail would be the perfect option. These systems have individually controlled carriers which can transport at a rate of up to 120m/min and can carry various attachments from rotation devices to hoists. At the other end of the scale, a low throughput requirement is best for a manual conveyor system. Once the process and throughput requirements are established, a decision on the type of conveyor can be made.
It will now be necessary to consider the supporting structure for the system. A roof supported conveyor is ideal as it keeps the floor area completely clear. However, the roof may not be strong enough or sufficiently close to the system to bear its weight. In this instance, floor mounted steel work is installed to provide a supporting structure. An overhead track will self-support over three metres, so a combination of columns, spine beams and brackets can be used to give optimum support with the least encumbrance at ground level.
Reduce the risks
Calling in the experts right from the start of the decision process is a good way of avoiding possible problems as they understand the key issues that must be addressed. Using one of the industry’s specialist conveyor suppliers, such as Leicester based CI Logistics, gives you access to a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
Gary Bale is the company’s managing director, he comments, “We can provide a total project management service, designing, manufacturing and installing the entire conveyor and control mechanism or, at the other end of the scale, supply the conveyor only. Selecting a supply partner with a UK base means that leadtimes are kept to a minimum and we can react quickly when the goalposts change.
“The task of selecting the right overhead conveyor is not a simple one, but there are many advantages if you decide to use a transport system for your goods that runs not on the ground, but up in the air.”

Check out the latest interview with MD Gary Bale for Warehouse and Logistics News
Warehouse & Logistics News – Gary, in this interview we’re going to focus on your overhead conveyors. But first of all, by way of background, where does the name CI Logistics come from?
The original business Conveyors International was bought by Portec Rail Products 12 years ago, and since then the name has changed several times.
WLN – Where does the word ‘logistics’ come in?
We use the term logistics because our solutions deliver items to places where they are needed, when they are required, which is what logistics is all about.
WLN – What proportion of your conveyor systems are overhead?
Overhead conveyors have been the biggest proportion of our business as long as I can remember, and are quite stable at around 35%.
WLN – What does your role as MD involve? Do you personally play a part in developing customer solutions?
I’m ultimately answerable for all areas of the business including engineering, accounts, production and sales. I’ve spent my whole career in conveyors: I enjoy working with customers and wouldn’t want anything different.
WLN – Looking specifically at overhead conveyors now, there are many different types of overhead systems: can you explain the differences between them?
There are four different types, power chain or monorail; power and free conveyors; electrified monorail systems; and basic ‘free’ conveyors. Power chain, or monorail, is a continuous chain, with product hung from it. Power and free conveyors use a monorail with a trolley system below it, and allow products to divert to different stations where they can stop while everything else is moving.
Think of a Hornby Double O railway! The third type, an electrified monorail system, is a motorised trolley with an inbuilt drive: the individual trolleys each have an inbuilt motor and the track is coupled to a busbar. This is high spec engineering. The final type, basic ‘free’ systems involve a track with trolleys manually pushed around.
WLN – By overhead, do you mean these systems work at height?
Overhead conveyors do normally run up above the ground, but can also be put into the ground and inverted on towlines to tow bogies.
WLN – What parameters define which type of overhead conveyor is most suitable?
The deciding factors are the product weight; the dimensions of the products; and the process requirement – is it going to a pre-treatment plant, a curing oven and so on? The size of the load is massively important: these systems can carry up to 10 tonnes on one individual set of trolleys.
WLN – Which industries would benefit from having one of your overhead conveyor systems?
Three key areas for us are paint and powder, manufacturing and assembly lines, and warehousing and logistics. Paint and powder primarily involves surface finishing, where you’re painting, curing and pre-treating products. These are automated processes, where manual handling must be avoided, particularly in the production of parts of cars and white goods.
For manufacturing and assembly lines in general, you’re normally looking at ‘power and free’ or power conveyors. Again, this includes the automotive industry. For a leading car manufacturer we installed a new line over this Easter just gone. In warehousing and logistics operations, major uses for overhead conveyors are moving empty cartons and recycling waste packaging.
WLN – What are the steps in designing a tailored overhead conveyor solution for a client?
The process starts with understanding the client’s needs and the processes their product goes through. Our systems are modular, and can incorporate any configuration or routing. They can be horizontal or vertical: we take it from there.
WLN – How much can your standard equipment be tailored for a particular client?
The basic conveyor system is much the same every time. It includes chain, track, bends, drive units, tension and lubricators, and is essentially just like a train set. The variance is in what you carry, the pitch you carry it at and the speed you run. We use the same standard components in different configurations: the only change is how the conveyor is supported and the safety precautions that are needed. Our conveyors normally outlive the lifespan of the application, say 10-12 years.
WLN – Where do you develop and manufacture your conveyors and other products?
All development happens on site in Leicester. We have an extensive in house design department, which incorporates our controls division. We also have an arrangement with an external manufacturing partner.
WLN – We last spoke to you a year ago. What’s changed since then in the industry overall, and in your business?
We bounced back after 2009, when business in general slowed, and had a great 2010. There’s still nervousness in the economy, borne out by many decision makers in Europe and the UK being cagey. You can’t be sure when confidence will return, but we hope to see the 2011 Budget and the new tax year having a positive effect in the next two to three months.
WLN – Can you tell us about some of your previous major UK installations? Do you publish case studies?
As a business we’ve been making overhead conveyors since 1982. Over the years our most memorable projects include Hepworth Clay Products at Coalville, Leicester; Caterpillar UK’s towline; installations for BOC, Quinn Radiators and Linde forktrucks, the last two both in Wales; and the Diageo, JCB and CMK projects mentioned in the introduction. We have a lot of case studies which are publicly available, including Quinn, BOC and CMK.
WLN – Are they available on the internet?
Most case studies I’ve mentioned are on our web site. We’re making use of the internet to a full extent, as our main marketing tool. We’re running various campaigns online, including pay per click, SEO and taking the digital media route as far as possible.
WLN – Which countries outside the UK do you supply your conveyors to? Can you tell us about any overseas projects you’ve been involved in?
We have various customers in Scandinavia, in Norway and Finland, in the wood industry and in household structural products. In North America we have a distributor network covering the USA; and we’re building our business in Brazil, where we currently supply conveyors for use in paint finishing of car bumpers. CI Logistics has a small but highly effective set of agents throughout the world, representing us to a global audience.
WLN – What kinds of improvements in warehouse efficiency, and what order of savings in time and money can people achieve with your systems? How long does it take to see a return?
The beauty of conveyors is they reduce manpower, improve productivity and take out travel time. One of the key factors in using them is to reduce or eliminate manual handling, where there are health and safety considerations. These systems are highly tailored to each industry and each customer, but the available figures for savings in general are extremely impressive and convincing when it comes to decisions about capital expenditure programmes, and on larger systems you can generally see a return anywhere from 12-24 months.
WLN – Do you supply your equipment to other conveyor integrators who are fitting out large projects? Are there any companies you have regular working partnerships with?
We supply various integrators with overhead conveyors, mainly for use in carrying cardboard, either empty boxes to picking areas or cardboard waste for recycling. We’re happy to supply everyone.
WLN – Do you provide all the support services for an installation, including electricals and building services?
We offer a full turnkey package, including controls, electricals and civils as required – for example, where we’re putting towlines in pits we do all groundwork, concrete pouring and so on, and have no problem taking on the role of main contractor.
WLN – You also manufacture your own electrical control systems. What difference does that make to the quality of the final conveyor system?
We design and manufacture our own control panels and software in house, bespoke to each client, and don’t rely on outside suppliers. Our controls can fully integrate into WMS and ERP systems.
WLN – How long does it take from implementation to go live, with a new system?
Lead times vary massively depending on the project: Our automotive contract is now into its fourth month, Diageo in its thirteenth month. Both are now near completion.
WLN – Do you offer service and support?
We offer a full package of service and support. Our service engineers offer a 24 hour response on both mechanical and electrical problems, from our base in Leicester. For more remote installations, we would install modem links to view the software and see if the system needs tweaking.
WLN – How much routine inspection and maintenance do these systems need?
We recommend servicing at least twice a year.
WLN – You use the tagline ‘Conveying Innovation.’ Can you tell me about any particularly innovative solutions you’ve designed?
One of our installations which is at the top end in terms of innovation is our paint facility for Linde forklifts, carrying 15 tonne components overhead. These are true overhead conveyors; we have provided an electrified monorail/crane system. We’ve also provided a towline system for Caterpillar at Hinckley, Leicestershire, an assembly plant for earthmoving vehicles. It is a 20-station
towline, covering 100 metres, which is unique.
WLN – What kind of volume throughputs are overhead conveyors used for?
It varies according to the sector and the application: but this could range from an automotive chassis welding cell loading a paintline conveyor one every minute to a plant assembling aircraft components & delivering one completed assembly every 24 hours.
WLN – In the current economic climate, I imagine some companies may find it hard to sanction capital expenditure sign off. Do you offer extended payment or finance options to help them?
We try and accommodate our customers as far as we can: we work with a finance house to provide a tailored leasing facility, which helps customers cope with their financial restrictions.
WLN – Have you got any other major contracts in the pipeline?
We’ve talked about Diageo and the overhead conveyors, and the car manufacturer with the towline. We have also been busy with other UK automotive and aerospace contracts. On the other side of the business, parcels and packaging and bespoke distribution, and we’re doing a lot of work in e-fulfilment.
WLN – Finally, where do you see CI Logistics going from here?
Our vision for the business is to continue to supply our existing customers, but also look at other industries to break into, such as food and drink. We want to grow, if not organically then by acquisition.
We like a challenge: if you really want something out of the ordinary, as well as the more mainstream industrial applications for our solutions that we’ve been talking about, we built a conveyor for carrying lollipops for the 2005 version of the film Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. You can see the conveyor right at the beginning, in the opening scene with Johnny Depp. At the other extreme, we have also designed rotating conveyor systems for two-tonne marine diesel engines, to include the sump system on the bottom and turbos on the top. So if anyone reading this has any material handling problems which they think conveyors might help solve, we’d be delighted to hear from you!
