What products fit on a ball transfer table?

Ball transfer tables work with any product that has a smooth, flat-bottomed base — cardboard cartons, plastic crates, totes, metal sheets, appliance chassis (washing machine drums, fridge bodies), assembly sub-units, packaging cases, and similar rigid containers. The table is not suitable for round-bottomed containers, soft bags, or products with protruding parts that would catch between balls. SANAM sizes the table top, ball pitch, and load capacity to your product specifications during the technical consultation.

When do I use a ball transfer table vs a 90° elbow conveyor?

A ball transfer table is used when product needs to be manually rotated, repositioned, or diverted to different downstream paths at the same point. A 90° elbow conveyor is used when product needs to change direction automatically as part of continuous flow. The ball transfer table gives operators flexibility — same product can be rotated, sent left, sent right, or held in place at the same station. Many SANAM installations use both: an elbow conveyor for automated direction changes, plus ball transfer tables at packing/inspection stations where manual handling is needed.

Can the ball transfer table be integrated with my existing conveyor lines?

Yes. SANAM ball transfer tables are built to match the height, width, and surface level of your existing conveyor lines — product transfers from incoming conveyor onto the table surface, gets repositioned or diverted by an operator, and continues onto one or more outgoing conveyor lines. Tables can also be built as standalone ergonomic workstations for end-of-line packing, inspection, or quality control without connecting to other conveyors.

What materials and load capacities does SANAM build?

SANAM builds ball transfer tables in mild steel for general industrial use, and stainless steel SS 304 for food-grade, pharmaceutical, and washdown environments. The frame, top plate, and ball housings are all matched to your operating environment. Table dimensions (length, width, height), ball diameter, ball pitch, and total load capacity are configured per project — sized to your specific product weight and the throughput requirements of your line.

How long does it take from order to installation?

A custom-engineered ball transfer table typically ships within weeks of order confirmation, not months. Because SANAM manufactures in Egypt, you avoid the multi-month lead times associated with imported solutions. The table is fully assembled and tested in our 10th of Ramadan facility before shipping — ball units checked for free rotation, frame alignment verified, surface levelling confirmed. The same SANAM team that builds the conveyor handles installation and ongoing support.

Material Handling Conveyor

Ball Transfer
Table

The flexible point in any material handling line — a steel or stainless steel SS 304 table fitted with free-rotating ball units that let operators push, pull, rotate, or divert any flat-bottomed product in any horizontal direction with one hand. Used at packing stations, inspection points, and conveyor intersections where flow direction needs to change without a dedicated transfer mechanism.

Key Features

What Makes a SANAM
Ball Transfer Table
Different

Six things that set a SANAM-built ball transfer table apart from a generic imported solution — every one of them a decision we make at the engineering desk before fabrication begins.

Omnidirectional 360° Rotation

Every ball unit rotates freely in its housing — products can be pushed, pulled, rotated, or slid in any horizontal direction. Operators reposition heavy items with one hand, no lifting, no twisting. The single most ergonomic point in any production or packaging line.

90° Direction Change at Intersections

Place a ball transfer table at a 90° intersection of two conveyor lines and product changes direction without a dedicated transfer mechanism. Cheaper, simpler, and more maintainable than a powered right-angle transfer — and gives operators flexibility to send product down either path.

Diversion to Multiple Downstream Lines

When product needs to be sorted into two or more downstream conveyor lines (by SKU, packing size, destination, or quality grade), the ball transfer table is the simplest point to do the sort. Operator decides where each unit goes — no automated logic to program, no sortation system to maintain.

Ergonomic Operator Workstation

Standalone ball transfer tables serve as packing tables, inspection stations, and assembly workstations — operators can rotate a 30-kg case with one finger to access different sides for taping, labelling, or QC. Reduces repetitive strain injuries and slows worker fatigue across long shifts.

Steel or Stainless Steel SS 304

Mild steel frame and top plate for general industrial use — powder-coated for corrosion protection. Stainless steel SS 304 for food-grade, washdown, and hygiene-sensitive applications. Ball housings and ball units match the frame material so the whole table is consistently rated for your operating environment.

Standalone or Integrated

Use as a freestanding workstation, or integrate seamlessly into an existing conveyor line — SANAM matches the table height, width, and surface level to your existing equipment so product transfers cleanly on and off. Side guides, stops, and end tabs can be added as needed.

Industries Served

Where the Ball Transfer Table Earns Its Place

Six industries where the ball transfer table is the right tool for the job — anywhere products need to be repositioned, rotated, or diverted by hand.

Packaging & End-of-Line

Packing stations where operators rotate cases for taping, labelling, and inspection — and end-of-line points where finished cartons need to be diverted to different shipping lanes by SKU or destination.

Assembly & Inspection Stations

Workstations where sub-assemblies need to be rotated to access different sides during assembly, fastening, or quality inspection — operators reposition components with one hand instead of lifting heavy parts.

Warehousing & Distribution

Order-picking and order-consolidation areas where mixed cartons need to be rotated to read shipping labels, scan barcodes, or grouped onto outbound pallets by destination.

Food & Beverage Packaging

Stainless steel SS 304 ball transfer tables at packing stations downstream of fillers, sealers, and case-packers — food-grade construction matches existing hygiene requirements of the line, washdown-compatible.

Home Appliances Manufacturing

Washing machine, refrigerator, oven, and air-conditioner assembly lines — rotating heavy chassis to install motors, compressors, and panels at multiple sides without lifting. Proven application with SANAM-built ball tables on Egyptian appliance production floors.

General Industrial

Any production line where flat-bottomed products — metal sheets, die molds, crates, totes, sub-assemblies — need to be moved, rotated, or diverted by hand at workstations or conveyor intersections.

Why SANAM

The Conveyor Is Half
the Story. The Team Behind It
Is the Other Half.

Anyone can sell you a conveyor. The question is who picks up the phone six months later when a chain segment fails on a Sunday night.

Egyptian OEM, Not Importer

The conveyor is designed, fabricated, and assembled in our 10th of Ramadan facility — by the same team that installs and supports it. No middleman, no resold equipment, no relabeled imports.

Custom-Engineered to Your Line

We design around your factory floor, your existing fillers and packers, and your container specs. We don't sell standard parts hoping they fit — we design for your line.

Spare Parts in Egypt, in 48 Hours

Spares are typically available within 48 hours from our Egyptian inventory — no import waits, no customs delays, no production downtime while you wait for a chain segment from Europe.

Full System Integration

We don't just supply a conveyor. We connect it to your existing line — matching speed, height, and transfer geometry to your fillers, cappers, labelers, and packers. The line becomes one system, not a stack of disconnected machines.
