The KMG AutoGlide® is a versatile and adaptable solution with a wide range of options to meet specific application requirements. It offers flexibility in conveyor lengths and widths, catering to the diverse needs of various industries. The conveyor pans are constructed from sanitary stainless steel, and a range of screens, coatings, and surface finishes are available to suit different product requirements. You have the flexibility to choose between floor-mounted or ceiling-hung installations, depending on the layout of your facility. Sanitary frame designs are available in satin-finished stainless steel or white food-grade enamel-coated carbon steel. The AutoGlide® is equipped with single or multiple gates for bottom discharge. The drop height during product transfer is minimal, ensuring product integrity is preserved during conveyance. You can adjust the conveying speed if variable speed is required for your application, adding an extra layer of adaptability. One key aspect to highlight is that the KMG AutoGlide® is a complementary solution to the KMG Vibratory conveyor, which serves as the building block for most systems. However, there are applications where horizontal motion conveyors are more suitable, such as for product conditioning, product storage, or transferring products over long straight runs. For example, you can employ the AutoGlide® to transport products across your factory to different processing or packaging areas efficiently. The AutoGlide® is equipped with a powerful oscillating drive that can convey over 3,000kg/hr of product across distances of up to 30 meters. This impressive capability allows you to enhance your existing key process equipment with flexibility and efficiency. When it comes to the drive unit, you have multiple options. The drive unit can be located over or under the conveying trough, based on your space constraints and application requirements. KMG offers three different drive sizes, which can be set in either a pull or push configuration. Rest assured, these drive units are incredibly robust and designed to provide reliable service for many years. KMG AutoGlide® (Horizontal Motion Conveyors) is vital to the evolution of product conveyance in the snack food processing and manufacturing industry. Its capacity for gentle handling, adaptability to various applications, and focus on product integrity make it a valuable asset for manufacturers. With its ability to cover long distances while preserving product quality, the AutoGlide® enhances the efficiency of your production processes, contributing to your industry's success.

Distribution SystemsFAQs about KMG AutoGlide® (Horizontal Motion Conveyors)
The KMG AutoGlide® uses a unique horizontal oscillation method—slow forward and rapid return—to transport product gently along a stainless steel tray. This contrasts with traditional vibratory conveyors that use vertical lift and drop motion, making the AutoGlide® ideal for very fragile items or delicate coatings.
Designed to handle fragile snack products, the AutoGlide® excels in long straight transfers where maintaining product integrity is essential. It is also used effectively for inline storage, slow product conditioning, and multi-gated overhead feed systems (storveyor), offering flexible solutions for buffering or proportioning needs.
The AutoGlide® boasts modular design options that include selecting conveyor length, width, tray shape, and mounting style (floor-mounted or ceiling-hung). It features variable-speed control, multiple drive placement options (start, end, under-tray), vibration settings, and a choice of sanitary finishes to match hygiene and space requirements.
Constructed from food-grade stainless steel, the AutoGlide® features smooth trays and minimal product entrapment areas. Its simple, open design ensures fast access, easy cleaning, and minimal downtime—ideal for environments requiring frequent line changeovers or allergen control.
The slow-forward, rapid-return motion keeps drop heights minimal, preserving delicate product coatings. It ensures gentle movement, reduces dust and residue, and provides smooth, efficient handling over long runs—a key to maintaining quality and minimising waste throughout production.
