COVID-19

We Are In This Together

Now more than ever we stand together with the businesses that are essential to the fabric of our communities. Please know that all of our locations are open and manufacturing conveyors. We are doing everything we can to support the global fight against this virus including prioritizing all COVID-19 projects aiding essential businesses.

This includes projects such as:

• Medical and surgical companies manufacturing products such as masks, ventilators, test kits, or other medical devices in relation to COVID-19.
• Food processing facilities providing support for restaurants and grocery stores.
• Pharmaceutical projects assisting in finding a vaccine or improved testing.

If you are working on a project that is supporting an essential business, or that is directly contributing to ending the COVID-19 crisis, please contact us. 

Our goal is help keep our communities healthy and support our economy. We will get through this together.


Dorner 2200 Series Conveyors are available to ship in as little as 3 days! The conveyors come ready to run, are Cleanroom Class 100 Certified, and ideal for a variety of applications.

Dorner received a customer request for a 2200 Series conveyor that would assist in the production of N95 masks. The order was entered at 6:04 p.m. on March 30 and the Dorner team was notified that we have a COVID-19 order. At 6:17 p.m. the order was processed with an improved ship date to April 1. Dorner knocked that date out of the water, and within 18 hours the conveyor was ready to be shipped out!

A local automotive parts manufacturer, and Dorner customer, is working at high speed to convert their production line to manufacture parts for N95 masks that will be supplied to first responders and health workers. On Friday, April 3rd, they contacted their local Dorner distributor about getting a conveyor to modify their production line. Based on their requirements and urgent needs, we found a trade show demo that we would not be using soon. Dorner alerted the customer that we could supply a 6” wide x 10 /ft 2200 Series. That afternoon, the customer picked up the conveyor and expected to be in production within two days making parts and masks. The initial plan is to run this product 24/7 for the next 6-8 weeks.

On March 25, at 3:00 p.m. Dorner sent a customer a quote and the Dorner team was alerted that an order was to be expected for a pharmaceutical end user helping the COVID-19 fight. March 26 at 10:00 a.m., we received the purchase order which included a standard ship date of 3-31. The order was entered immediately and within an hour it was given the green light of “Inventory is good, let’s make the belt and ship ASAP”. By 12:30 the belt was done, and by 2:00 the conveyor was built. Blowing out the expected ship date of 3/31, the crate was built and the conveyor shipped the afternoon of March 26.

Dorner received an order for a 7600 stainless steel conveyor that came in at 10:00 on Tuesday, March 31. The normal lead-time for an AquaPruf 7600 Series conveyor is 10 days. The Dorner team did a great job of identifying the order as a COVID19 project and attacked it right away. They identified a few outside vendor parts that were needed, and with the help of the vendors, had parts made in two days that normally take a week or more. The conveyor was expertly built and ready to ship in three days!

Late in the day on April 13, Dorner’s partner BRAAS alerted the Dorner team that an order they had taken in the previous week was for a mass diagnostic test system testing for COVID-19. BRAAS looked to Dorner to improve the April 15 ship date, and Dorner worked hard to make that happen. They hurried to get the outside parts to build the conveyors and were able to ship by April 14

An L.A. based customer contacted their Dorner distributor in search of a sanitary solution that could significantly increase emergency meal production to meet demand.

The order for an AquaPruf Ultimate conveyor and accumulation table was released early April 14th and fast-tracked to ship on April 17th to help get the additional processing lines into production, and the meals to those in need.
