Focus | Conveyor Technology
The conveyor experts Conveyor Technology Limited can design, build and install the perfect conveyor system for your business, with director John Dowers taking charge of every project from concept to commissioning.
Its products are reliable, efficient, clean, quiet and robust and are widely used in a range of industries, including dairy, meat processing, coal handling and wood processing.
John has been operating the Christchurch company since its formation in 1991 and prides himself on his hands-on approach. He answers the phones and deals with initial inquiries, does all the design and price work and is onsite during installation.
Conveyor Technology has designed and built belt conveyors from as small as 200x600mm through to a large conveyor for a West Coast coal mine that was capable of handling 2000 tonnes of coal per hour.
This close liaison with customers means clients are only dealing with one person who has the knowledge and expertise to problem solve at every level of the process. The business specialises in the design, manufacture, supply, installation and commissioning of conveying equipment, storage hoppers and associated equipment.
“We design, build and install all types of conveyor equipment and systems,” John says. “We have the design capability and we specialise in one-off jobs that can be quite difficult; we don’t mass produce.” Belt conveyors are one of the company’s main product lines, with an unlimited range of designs available.

“We have designed, built and installed numerous belt conveyors in critical hygiene areas for freezing works, dairy factories and ice cream plants, and have developed an extremely efficient and compact quick-release mechanism to aid in cleaning under the belts,” John says. “With these installations, the conveyor structure is fabricated from either T304 or T316 stainless steel.”
Our modern workshop is equipped with some of the latest CNC machinery.
