Discover the ease of conveying
More and more, the market is recognizing the value of rolling
­conveyor technology. For good reason.
Denipro AG in Weinfelden, Switzerland: here, conveyor systems are created that save energy and costs.
Denipro AG is based in Weinfelden, Switzerland. The driving force
behind the company is our approximately 100-strong team of
young, young-at-heart and wide-awake talent. Open to the
needs of our customers and possessing great creative energy, we
are working on innovative and flexible solutions that satisfy the
demands of the marketplace.
We are the specialists in rolling conveyor technology. Our concepts are based on the principle of “rolling rather than sliding”,
which has earned us recognition all around the world. Traditionally, our home territory has been the printing industry, where over
the decades we have acquired and continually expanded our
know-how. By developing and constructing innovative conveyor
components, we play a large part in the success of Ferag AG, our
associate company and the world leader in the supply of systems
to newspaper and magazine printers.
But companies from entirely different industries, too, have long
been depending on our experience and expertise. At Denipro AG,
they will find the made-to-measure, intelligent answer to the
challenges they face in all aspects of intralogistics and the efficient flow of goods. Whether it’s well-known automobile and
pharmaceuticals manufacturers, leading brands in the cosmetics
industry, beverage and food chains, packaging manufacturers or
established players in e-commerce, they all depend on solutions
from Denipro AG. Because it’s thanks to our technology and our
experience in process optimization that they can draw upon new
and efficient solutions from a single supplier when squaring up to
their intralogistic challenges.
Denipro is part of WRH Walter Reist Holding AG. Since its foundation almost 60 years ago, this owner-operated family enterprise has maintained its independence – also from the financial
point of view. A large percentage of its revenue is ploughed back
into research and development. So the innovation pipeline is
­always full.
The integration of Denipro into Walter Reist Holding AG creates a
stable platform for the future prosperity of the company. Denipro
customers not only invest in an exceptional and sustainable technology, but also in a long-term collaboration with a sound and
progressive partner.

requirements of the customer. Using simple clip and plug con­
nections, drives and individual components down to the smallest ­roller parts can be replaced quickly without the need for
tools. Maximum availability with exceptionally easy maintenance

Perfectly suited to many situations
Deniway: the innovative plate chain conveyor with the robust C-channel and the flexible steel chain.
Deniway is a robust conveyor system for
almost all goods logistics applications.
Solid plastic carrier plates are supported
by rollers and guided in a stable steel
channel. So even in difficult, dusty and
contaminated environments, Deniway is
dependable and requires little maintenance. The hard and durable plate mate-
rial is distinguished by its mechanical and
thermal resistance.
And even though Deniway is as tough as
they come, in the area of flexibility and
efficiency, the conveyor system is exceptional. Deniway adapts to all spatial situations with ease. Section layouts can be
adjusted to growing demands at any
time. Deniway uses spirals to negotiate
height differences. With its continuous,
circulating chain, the system masters long

Three options for a wider range of applications
Multi-functional flow of goods for all requirements.
With the Deniway Select option, the
Deniway conveyor system can be equipped
with automatically triggered, rubber-coated rollers. At rest, the rollers are retracted
below the transport surface. Specific rollers can be activated and brought into the
standby position. Deniway Select carries
out buffering, acceleration and holding
functions.
Buffering
When individual transport units have to
be brought into a holding position during
the conveyor process, the rollers move
upwards and decouple the unit by lifting
it slightly from the conveyor system.
­Buffering can be applied to specific transport units. The normal transport flow
with Deniway is maintained.
Acceleration
If the transport unit is required to accelerate, it will receive an impulse by increasing the rotational speed of the rollers in
relation to the conveyor speed. The acceleration function comes into play when,
for the sake of a higher conveyor performance, the narrow separation between
the transport units has to be stretched to
preserve the process flow.
Holding
Deniway Select’s holding function is
­activated on ascending and descending
gradients. When not rotating with the
conveyor, the rollers act as a braking
force and prevent the transported goods
from sliding forwards or backwards on
the d

section.

two-component material requires no lubrication and is completely maintenance-free. The plastic is certified as
food-grade material according to USA
NSF-61.
Easychain is a modular design. The plate
chain elements are simply assembled to
create transport systems of any length
using plug-in connections. The drive concept allows the motors to be arranged at
any position along the conveyor section,
to support unrestricted conveyor layouts
within existing spaces.
Thanks to tight curves down to 600 mm
radius, Easychain transport sections master all three dimensions in limited spaces.
The conveyor system reveals its adaptability by negotiating ascending and descending gradients with curves down to
300 mm radius on short sections.
Plastic plates are available up to 240 mm
in width. An underside profile gives the
material its high stiffness, enabling Easychain to transport loads up to 20 kilograms per metre at impressive speeds up
to 1.5 metres per second.

Plug-and-move at its most efficient
The Denimove ultra-flat conveyor is based on a modular design principle.
For Denimove, the smooth and gentle
transport of heavy loads comes easy. The
ultra-flat, variable length conveyor system
is supported by countless small rollers.
Denimove operates free of sliding friction
and has a correspondingly low energy requirement. A small motor integrated into
the drive shaft is enough to move heavy
transport goods weighing several hundred kilograms at speeds up to 30 metres
per minute without gliding friction.
Denimove is quick to assemble. It’s also
just as easy to move the conveyor system
to another position, and extend and
adapt it to changed operational requirements. This is plug-and-move at its most
efficient, and promises investment security. This is guaranteed by Denimove’s
modular design and robust construction
with its built-in long service life. Denimove is based on a modular concept. The
elements are up to 40 metres in length
and can be assembled to form conveyor
sections of almost any length. Using a
