Efficient material handling is the backbone of any industrial process — whether it’s in manufacturing, packaging, warehousing, food processing, or bulk material transport. Among the most versatile and widely used pieces of equipment for moving materials are conveyors. These systems ensure smooth, continuous, and safe movement of goods and materials within facilities.
However, investing in new conveyor systems can involve high upfront costs and long delivery times. For companies looking for immediate, reliable, and affordable solutions, used conveyors offer the perfect alternative.
At JM Industrial, we supply a wide range of used, unused, and surplus conveyors that meet the same functional and safety standards as new ones — but at a fraction of the cost. Each unit is inspected, tested, and ready to integrate seamlessly into your operation.
What Are Industrial Conveyors?
An industrial conveyor is a mechanical system designed to transport materials from one location to another efficiently. These systems help automate and streamline the flow of goods, reducing manual labor and improving production speed.
Depending on the type and design, conveyors can handle bulk solids, powders, granules, liquids, or packaged goods. They are used in almost every industry, from food and pharmaceuticals to mining and manufacturing.
By choosing the right type of conveyor, businesses can ensure safer operations, better efficiency, and significant time and labor savings.
Why Choose Used Conveyors?
💰 Significant Cost Savings
Used conveyors can cost 40–70% less than new ones — allowing you to expand or upgrade your material handling system without exceeding your budget.
⚙️ Proven Reliability and Performance
Every used conveyor at JM Industrial undergoes inspection, cleaning, and operational testing to ensure it performs at its full potential.

Used conveyors hold their value longer, offering long-term cost efficiency and strong returns on investment.
Types of Used Conveyors Available
At JM Industrial, we maintain a large inventory of used conveyors to suit different materials, applications, and layouts.
1. Belt Conveyors
The most common conveyor type — they use a continuous belt to transport materials. Ideal for moving packaged items, bulk materials, or components in manufacturing and warehousing.
2. Screw Conveyors
Feature a rotating screw inside a trough or tube, used to move bulk materials like powders, grains, or granules. Common in chemical, agricultural, and food processing industries.
3. Chain Conveyors
Utilize linked chains to transport heavy loads or pallets. Designed for industrial applications that demand strength and durability.
4. Roller Conveyors
Use rollers (powered or gravity-fed) to move boxes, cartons, or pallets. Perfect for distribution centers and packaging lines.
5. Bucket Elevators
Designed for vertical transport of bulk solids such as grains, fertilizers, or minerals.
6. Vibrating Conveyors
Use vibration to move materials along a trough — ideal for fragile, sticky, or granular products.
7. Drag Conveyors
Use paddles or flights to drag materials through an enclosed housing. Suitable for handling fine powders or heavy-duty materials.
8. Pneumatic Conveyors
Transport bulk materials using air pressure or vacuum. Ideal for powders and lightweight materials in food and pharmaceutical industries.
Industrial Applications of Used Conveyors
Used conveyors are vital in industries that depend on efficient and continuous material movement:
Manufacturing: Moving components, parts, or assemblies between production stations.
Food and Beverage: Transporting ingredients, packaged goods, or finished products.
Pharmaceuticals: Handling delicate products and maintaining hygienic processing.
Mining and Minerals: Transporting ore, coal, and aggregates.
Agriculture: Moving grains, seeds, and fertilizers.
Chemical Processing: Transferring powders, resins, and bulk materials safely.
Warehousing and Logistics: Streamlining sorting, packaging, and distribution operations.
