Roller Conveyor Systems
Gravity and motor driven roller conveyor systems are a fundamental component in material handling systems, leveraging the force of gravity to move products effortlessly along a track. Ideal for environments such as warehouses, production facilities, and distribution centres, these conveyors provide a straightforward and economical solution for moving goods.
How Roller Conveyor Systems Work:
- Gravity-Driven Movement: Products travel along the conveyor by rolling over the rollers. When the conveyor is installed on a slight incline, gravity propels the products forward, facilitating smooth and continuous movement.
- Motor driven movement: a mechanical motor and gear box is used to drive the rollers through chain or belt
Design Features:
- Roller Sizes: Typically, rollers have diameters ranging from 1.5 to 1.9 inches. For heavier-duty applications, larger diameters such as 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches are available, offering greater durability and support.
- Configurable and Easy to Install: The conveyor system can be easily configured to fit specific needs and purchased online. It is adaptable for both temporary and permanent installations.
- Support Options: Provides options for mounting, including permanent floor supports and temporary tripod-style stands. This flexibility allows for various setup configurations based on the application.
- Curve Units: Specially designed roller curve units are available to manage smooth transitions around corners, ensuring uninterrupted product flow.
- Lightweight and Adaptable: The lightweight nature of these conveyors makes them suitable for a wide range of uses, from temporary setups to long-term installations.
Roller conveyors offer a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for transporting materials, making them a valuable addition to any material handling system.
