Industrial movement is rarely a single-equipment challenge. A line may need a power turn conveyor or straight conveyor to keep product flowing, heavy-duty ball transfer units or cargo rollers to control a load, or mobile conveyor power to support a changing workflow. JanTec, B&T Bearing, and VoltMotion bring those specialized approaches together so operations can engineer the flow, control the load, and power the possibility.
One challenge, three specialized paths
The right material handling strategy begins by defining where movement is breaking down. Is product flow inconsistent through a curve or transfer point? Does a load need to move, position, or stop with greater control? Would a mobile or modular conveyor make it easier to respond to a temporary production need? Each division focuses on a different part of that operating question, giving integrators and end users a more direct path to the right conversation.
Engineer the Flow - JanTec
JanTec engineers power turn conveyor, straight conveyor, and custom conveyor systems around the product, load, layout, and performance requirements of the application. These turn conveyor and transfer solutions help products change direction, cross transfer points, and continue through the line with reliable movement.
For small or delicate products, the PRN Power Turn can be configured with dynamic nose rollers as small as 3/8 inch to support tight transfers. For demanding loads and higher-speed applications, the PTM Power Turn offers rugged construction, no roller chains or sprockets, and available centerline speeds up to 600 feet per minute. The Taco Turn conveyor addresses compact 180-degree layouts, while Straight Series conveyors, gravity chutes, spiral turns, and angle merges extend the layout conversation beyond the curve.
JanTec is the right starting point when the question is: How do we engineer dependable product flow around the actual layout and application?
Control the Load - B&T Bearing
B&T Bearing supports safe, controlled, and reliable movement with heavy-duty ball transfer units, light-duty ball transfer units, cargo rollers, conveyor rollers, and cargo container pop-up stops. These components help operators and equipment designers move a load in multiple directions, guide it through a conveyor path, and hold or stop it at a controlled point.
Ball transfer units - sometimes searched as ball transfer bearings - allow smooth multidirectional movement and positioning. Cargo rollers and conveyor rollers support low-friction travel across light-duty and heavy-duty applications. Cargo container pop-up stops provide a foot-operated, spring-loaded way to help stabilize and position heavy containers. The correct component and configuration depend on the load, duty cycle, environment, equipment design, and facility safety requirements.
B&T Bearing is the right starting point when the question is: How do we move, position, or stop the load with greater control?
Power the Possibility - VoltMotion
WHAT IF mobile conveyor power could follow the workflow instead of forcing the workflow to follow every fixed power drop? VoltMotion is developing rechargeable conveyor power for operations that value mobility, modularity, and the ability to reposition conveying support as needs change. Its portable conveyor power solutions create a new way to plan temporary and reconfigurable movement.
VoltMotion product plans include belted and roller conveyor configurations built around a rechargeable 24-volt platform. The concept is designed for temporary workflows, changing work cells, seasonal activity, pilot lines, staging areas, and other general industrial material handling uses where fixed-power dependence can limit options. Application requirements, run time, load, dimensions, charging strategy, and environmental suitability should be confirmed for each use. Current product information notes that planned initial systems are not intended for washdown, clean-room, or FDA applications.

How the three capabilities can work within one movement strategy
A facility may need more than one type of movement solution. For example, a JanTec power turn may manage product direction and transfer performance within a production line. B&T Bearing components may support multidirectional positioning, conveyor travel, or controlled stopping at a handling point. VoltMotion may provide a path to temporary or repositionable conveying support in a nearby work zone. These capabilities are not presented as a prepackaged system; they are specialized options that can be evaluated together based on the application.
That connected view helps teams move beyond a one-product search. It creates a better conversation around the full movement challenge: where the product starts, how it changes direction, how the load is positioned, where it must stop, and how the operation may need to adapt over time.
Build around the Operation
The strongest industrial material handling solution is the one that fits the real operating conditions. Product size, load, line speed, transfer points, available floor space, sanitation requirements, controls, power availability, and future layout changes should all be considered before equipment is selected.
Bring JanTec and its divisions the movement challenge. The team can help identify which division, product family, or combination of conversations is the best place to begin.
