Grip Conveyors – Top, Side & Bottom Grip Conveyor Solutions
Grip conveyors are designed to hold products firmly during transport, ensuring stability, orientation control, and smooth movement — even on inclines, declines, or vertical paths. By using gripping surfaces such as specialized belts or rollers, these conveyors prevent slippage and damage, making them ideal for industries where precision handling is critical.
We are a leading manufacturer and supplier of grip conveyors in India, offering top grip conveyors, side grip conveyors, and bottom grip conveyors for packaging, bottling, food processing, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and manufacturing applications.
Types of Grip Conveyors
Top Grip Conveyors
A top grip conveyor grips products from above while supporting them from below with a standard conveyor belt or rollers. The top grip belt maintains product position, preventing movement during acceleration, deceleration, or steep inclines.
Applications
Top grip conveyor for packaging – Keeps boxes or bags steady on inclines.
Top grip conveyor for labeling – Ensures label alignment by holding the product firmly.
Used in printing, bottle filling, and food processing where precise orientation is needed.
Side Grip Conveyors
A side grip conveyor uses two opposing belts or chains to hold products from both sides. This design allows for vertical product movement, product inversion, or transfer between conveyor levels without losing orientation.
Applications
Side grip conveyor for bottles – Lifts or inverts bottles for rinsing or labeling.
Side grip conveyor for vertical transport – Moves items between floor levels in compact spaces.
Ideal for pharmaceutical vials, cosmetic bottles, cans, and cartons where damage-free handling is essential.
Bottom Grip Conveyors
A bottom grip conveyor holds the product from underneath while allowing the top to remain clear for processing, scanning, or labeling. The gripping surface is designed to stabilize the product on upward inclines or during transfer to another system.
Applications
Bottom grip conveyor for cartons – Ensures cartons remain stable when moving upward.
Bottom grip conveyor for product stability – Prevents sliding on slick surfaces.
Common in logistics hubs, manufacturing plants, and e-commerce warehouses.
Advantages of Grip Conveyors
Maintains Product Orientation
Grip conveyors keep products stable and correctly positioned throughout the journey, which is crucial for labeling, scanning, and automated processing.
Reduces Product Damage and Waste
Stable handling lowers the risk of drops, collisions, or misalignment, which cuts down on damaged goods and costly rework.
Prevents Slippage or Tipping
Special grip belts or rollers hold items firmly in place, even when moving on steep inclines, declines, or vertical paths.
Increases Production Efficiency
By controlling product position, grip conveyors allow faster speeds without compromising accuracy or safety.
Optimizes Vertical and Compact Space Handling
Side grip and top grip designs allow vertical transport or tight-space routing, helping maximize floor space in crowded facilities.
Integrates with Other Equipment
Works seamlessly with labeling machines, inspection systems, capping units, and packaging lines.
Suitable for Delicate or Irregularly Shaped Products
Gentle grip surfaces protect fragile items such as glass bottles, jars, or oddly shaped packages from scratches or breakage.
Customizable for Industry Needs
Available in food-grade stainless steel for hygiene-sensitive operations or heavy-duty designs for industrial applications.

FAQs – Grip Conveyors
What is a grip conveyor and how does it work?
A grip conveyor is a conveyor system designed to hold products securely using belts or rollers with a gripping surface. It prevents slippage and maintains product orientation on inclines, declines, or vertical transport.
What are the types of grip conveyors?
The three main types are:
• Top Grip Conveyor – Grips from above for stability during movement.
• Side Grip Conveyor – Holds products from both sides for vertical or inversion applications.
• Bottom Grip Conveyor – Supports from underneath to keep the top surface accessible.
What is a side grip conveyor used for?
A side grip conveyor is commonly used for bottles, cans, vials, and cartons in packaging, bottling, and pharmaceutical applications. It allows vertical transport, product inversion, and smooth transfers between conveyor levels.
Can grip conveyors be used in the food industry?
Yes. We manufacture food-grade grip conveyors with stainless steel frames and food-safe belts for bakery products, bottled beverages, dairy, and packaged foods.
