Wood Industry

Did you know that the future is incorporated into the Andrews Automation products?

When purchasing a conveyor system, most businesses start with their present needs at the very moment. However, what about the future? Can the existing system be extended, whenever new demands arise? Not all conveyor systems can be extended without problems, but the Q systems certainly can be!

Just think of Lego, the children’s toy system, which can be built up in uncountable ways.

This is the case with the Q products too. They consist, in fact, of modules. In particular, this means that one can move, extend, divide up in smaller sections and enhance with new components, such as a turntable or a lifting table, and combine the powered and non-powered conveyors and belts.

Furthermore, should you later wish to convert the non-powered conveyors into power driven conveyors, they also allow this possibility, by making use of the unique Her-Q-les pusher system. In this way, one can end up with a completely automatic production, where one of the "pivot points” is a fully automatic Q transfer cart.


Andrews Automation focuses on transport solutions for panel and cabinet production, especially “ready-to-assemble” furniture productions.

We have concentrated in depth on the whole process, from raw material storage, the process of feeding the processing machines, stacking, buffer storage, further processing, storage of finished products and packing and palletising. Therefore, we are among the world's leading suppliers of material handling solutions to this part of the wood industry.

From the non-powered to the sophisticated
For non-powered intermediate product storage, we supply functional, robust roller conveyors and if you later should have too little room in the store, you can build upwards. Naturally, you can re-use the existing conveyors as the first or second level in this double conveyor system.

When additional automation is necessary
We supply thoroughly tested power-driven transport systems for automatic feeding of processing machinery, turning and stacking units and automatic systems for further transport. Also for packing of components, we offer a wide range of solutions, from carton folding machines, packing belts, fully automatic box sealing, robot palletising to foil-wrapping and automatic further dispatch for shipping or storage.

In addition, for the finished product store, we supply as well individually designed customer solutions, right from the simple rolling rack to the fully automatic and un-manned store with Q loaders, 100% controlled by the computer system.
