Unknown - Roller Conveyor

• Moving items between workstations in manufacturing and assembly lines.
• Transporting goods in warehousing and logistics operations.
• Facilitating product flow in packaging and distribution centres.
• Handling materials in sorting and inspection processes.

Typical capacity

Typically designed for loads ranging from light parcels to several hundred kilograms per metre, depending on roller construction and frame robustness.

Power supply

Powered roller conveyors commonly operate on 400V 3-phase or 230V single-phase, with unpowered gravity conveyors requiring no electrical supply.

Roller material

Commonly features steel, stainless steel, or PVC rollers, selected based on the conveyed item's weight, material, and environmental conditions.

Frame construction

Typically constructed from mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminium, offering durability and resistance to various industrial environments.

Conveying speed

Powered units typically offer variable speeds, often ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 metres per second, adjustable to process requirements.

Footprint

Available in various lengths and widths to suit specific layouts, with typical widths for this class of equipment ranging from 300mm to 1200mm.

• What types of items are suitable for a roller conveyor?

  Roller conveyors are best suited for items with a firm, flat bottom surface, such as boxes, crates, pallets, and some types of components. Items with irregular shapes or soft bases may require a different conveyor type.

• What is the difference between gravity and powered roller conveyors?

• How do I determine the correct roller pitch for my application?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used roller conveyor?

• Can this conveyor be integrated with other equipment?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
