To better understand who we are at Dynamic Conveyor Corporation, it helps to know where we're coming from.

When he discovered that there were no light-duty portable conveyors available to serve his needs as an injection molder, Curtis Chambers entered the material handling equipment industry by manufacturing conveyors in Muskegon, Michigan in the mid 1970's. Conveyorette Products was created as a division of Pliant Plastics Corporation, a custom injection molding facility also founded by Curtis Chambers.

It soon became apparent that these early conveyors had the potential for broad appeal to other injection molders. In the late 1970's, an agreement was made with IMS Company in Cleveland, Ohio to market these units to injection molders through their Thrift Products division. The development of tumbler and finger type separators followed and added to the line, which eventually grew to become 30 different size/type units.

In the late 1980's, the aging product line was in need of review. A complete analysis of Conveyorette Products was undertaken and it was ultimately decided to not only redesign the existing line, but to add a new product line for the material handling equipment industry.  Furthermore, it was determined that because this mission objective was completely different from the parent company, the conveyor operation should be a separate entity.

In 1989, a new conveyor line, modular in concept and primarily constructed of injection molded components, was engineered. Dynamic Conveyor was officially formed as a corporation in January 1991. In June 1991, the DynaCon Modular Conveyor System (then known as the CON-NEX-IONS line) was introduced at the International Plastics Exposition (NPE) in Chicago. United States, European and Canadian patents were applied for and have been granted for the modular conveyor system. Rotating cage and lift-pin separators, which enable separation of sprue/runner systems from injection molded parts, for the DynaCon line followed in 1992.

In summer 1996, new marketing plans and objectives were made for the Conveyorette line. Improvements and updates were made to the products and it was re-named the EscortTM line. For the next ten years, the Escort line was marketed to companies who were looking for durable, yet cost-efficient light to medium part weight conveying and separating systems.

Since its original introduction, the DynaCon conveyor system has improved and changed over the years. Developments have been made and accessory items have been added. One major change was to Intralox link style belting which was introduced at the International Plastics Exposition (NPE) in 1994, with full implementation the following fall. Intralox belting provides the customer with more options in belting, allows for longer length conveyors, and provides the user with more convenience and ease than ever before.

The DynaCon Radius Turn Module was introduced at the International Plastics Exposition (NPE) in 2000. The Radius Turn Module is used to allow a DynaCon Conveyor to make lateral turns ranging from 45 to 180 degrees. Special injection-molded ribbed sides flex to make the turn required with one continuous belt that can flow on an incline or decline in addition to turning left or right. A United States patent has been granted and European and Canadian patents have been applied for on the Radius Turn Module.

Accessory items that allow the conveyors to do more than just transfer product from one point to another include: box filling, cooling, metal detection, electronic photo eyes, reversing, indexing and much more.

The DynaCon conveyor system was introduced to the packaging industry at Pack Expo International in Chicago in November 2002. Since that time, developments have been made to better meet the needs of the packaging industry: ergonomic tilt for assembly ease; split belt conveyor that allows the bottom of the product to be exposed for viewing, labeling or bar code reading; and adjustable side rails are just a few of the enhancements to the conveyor line.

In 2007, through partnership with Intralox, the Modular ARB Conveyor System was introduced to the packaging industry. The technology of Intralox's Angled RollerTM belt installed in DynaCon's modular conveyor system successfully improves productivity, eliminates necessary labor costs, and reduces operational expenses in applications such as descrambling/singulation, switching, 90-degree transfers, merges, case turning and sortation. By reducing the incidence of product jams and missorted items, Modular ARB sortation solutions achieve higher throughput capacity and offer a lower cost of ownership than competing technologies.

2008 brought several new product introductions including two additional modular conveyor lines:  gravity conveyors and powered roller conveyors.  The tumbler separator was redesigned and modularity was expanded on by including removable sleeves that provide the opportunity to separate a gamut of different sized parts.  The DynaCon box filling system was introduced allowing unattended operation of filling boxes by cycle count, weight or weigh count with accuracy up to 0.3 ounces.  Additional accessories, including the DynaCon powered transfer conveyor which assures the smooth transfer of small delicate products, were also introduced.

Dynamic Conveyor introduced another modular plastic belt conveyor line to its conveyor line up in 2009 - the DynaCon Modular Low Profile Conveyor.  This new line offers a reconfigurable option for fitting into tight places, under equipment or in equipment where conventional conveyors don't fit.

DynaCon modular conveyor systems are the only conveyor systems that offer sustainability by allowing reconfiguration at the customer's location when needs change (like Lego® building blocks). These modules can be configured and reconfigured to assume any conveyor position required. Accessory items can be added or removed at any time allowing the conveyors even more flexibility. Because of the ability to be reconfigured, these conveyors can be used for a lifetime which is backed up by the best warranty in the industry.

Dynamic Conveyor remains a privately held company and is owned by the daughters of Curtis Chambers. Today, daughter Jill Batka continues to lead the material handling equipment organization through sustained growth and product expansion.
