Return Conveyors
Thomas Manufacturing started its equipment line with one of our main staples today, the Edgebander Return Conveyor. Since the first model rolled out in the early 90’s, we have added to the Edgebander Return Line with machines for Drum/Belt Sanders, Moulders, Rip Saws, and Shape/Sand processing machinery.
