Complete conveyor system design — belt, roller, slat, pallet, and overhead conveyors — from frame and drive layout through to belt selection, guiding, tensioning, and full production documentation delivered into your PDM vault. Serving manufacturers, integrators, and material handling OEMs across Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Vaughan, Brampton, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, the wider Greater Toronto Area, and clients throughout Canada and the United States.
A conveyor system is only as reliable as the engineering decisions made before the first component is ordered. Belt tension calculated for the wrong load, a drive unit undersized for the starting torque, a frame designed without accounting for the dynamic loads of accumulation — these are design failures that become maintenance problems for the life of the system.
At Clay Lilac, every conveyor project begins with the application requirements — product weight and dimensions, throughput rate, facility layout, and any interface constraints with existing equipment. The structural frame, drive system, belt or chain, guiding, and tensioning are then designed as a single integrated system to meet those requirements with margin to spare.
Delivered in SolidWorks or CATIA V5, on your templates, checked into your PDM vault — ready for your fabrication and procurement teams.
Based in Newmarket, Ontario, we design conveyor and material handling systems for manufacturers, integrators, and OEMs across the Greater Toronto Area — including Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Vaughan, Brampton, Richmond Hill, Aurora, and Newmarket — as well as clients across Canada and the United States, all delivered remotely with the same responsiveness as an in-house design team.
From simple flat belt runs to complex multi-zone accumulation systems — every conveyor type engineered to the same standard.
Flat belt, troughing belt, and incline belt conveyors designed for your specific product, speed, and load case. Belt selection, pulley sizing, idler layout, tensioning, and frame structure all resolved in a single integrated model.
Gravity and powered roller conveyors for unit load handling. Roller diameter, pitch, material, and bearing specification selected for the product weight and surface requirements. Live roller and zero-pressure accumulation layouts designed to your throughput requirements.
Slat conveyors for heavy, abrasive, or high-temperature products and pallet conveyors for unit load transfer between workstations. Chain selection, slat material, drive unit sizing, and structural frame designed for the operating environment and load cycle.
Overhead monorail, power-and-free, and enclosed track conveyor systems designed for floor-space-efficient product handling and process routing. Carrier design, load bar specification, track layout, and drive unit integration all resolved in 3D.
Incline and decline belt conveyors designed for elevation change between process levels. Belt cleating, side guides, holdback mechanisms, and drive braking all specified to prevent product rollback and maintain control at all operating speeds.
Bespoke material handling structures, transfer units, turntables, lifts, and divert systems designed to integrate with your existing conveyor network or as part of a new system layout. Designed from first principles for your specific application.
Everything you need to know before starting a conveyor project with Clay Lilac.
All conveyor design work delivered in SolidWorks or CATIA V5. Native assemblies, structural models, and drawings issued in your preferred format, checked into your SolidWorks PDM or ENOVIA vault on every revision.
We work directly inside SolidWorks PDM and ENOVIA. Every revision checked in, every change logged. Your fabrication and procurement teams always have the latest geometry, BOM, and drawings — without chasing files.
Drawings produced on your company templates with your title block, revision tables, weld symbols, and drawing standards. GD&T per your preferred standard. What leaves Clay Lilac looks like it came from your own engineering team.
All intellectual property transfers fully to you on completion. NDA available before any brief or facility layout is shared. Your system designs, your geometry, your IP — always. No residual rights retained by Clay Lilac.
Stage completion billing ties payments to defined deliverable milestones such as concept approval, detailed design, and drawing issue. Biweekly billing suits longer-running system projects with evolving scope. Agreed upfront — no surprises.
End the project at any point with prior notice. No lock-in, no penalties. All work completed to the exit point is delivered to you in full. We earn continued engagement through the quality of work — not contractual obligation.
* Prior notice period as agreed in the project contract.From application requirements to fabrication-ready documentation — a structured sequence that eliminates design surprises.
We capture product dimensions, weight, throughput rate, speed requirements, facility layout constraints, transfer heights, and any interface requirements with existing equipment. PDM structure and drawing templates confirmed at this stage.
Conveyor layout developed in 3D. Belt tension, drive power, and starting torque calculated for the specified load case. Drive unit, gearbox, and motor specified against the calculated requirements before structural design begins.
Full parametric assembly model with frame structure, drive integration, belt or chain, idler or roller layout, guiding, tensioning, and all supporting hardware resolved. DFM review against your fabrication process before drawing issue.
Full drawing package on your templates — general arrangement, assembly drawings, fabrication details, weld drawings, BOM, STEP files, and drive unit specification sheets — released through your PDM as a single fabrication-ready package.
Industry-standard tools. Native files delivered directly into your vault.
Conveyor and material handling design across demanding manufacturing and logistics environments — for clients in Toronto, the GTA (Mississauga, Markham, Vaughan, Brampton, Newmarket), across Canada, and throughout the United States.
