Control Solutions from Omni Metalcraft

In many conveyor applications, we are capable of providing complete or partial control.  For applications where we are unable to provide complete control, we can local control components on the conveyor and wire them to common junction boxes.  We can als build per customer-supplied drawings.  Optional control components to meet your specifications can be supplied.  Our electrical department will work with you on any application to your electrical control needs.

• When requesting conveyor controls or components, please provide product information and a complete sequence of operations for your conveyor system to better help us meet your control system requirements.
