Soco Systems - Driven coupled section pallet roller conveyor

• Moving palletised goods between workstations or different areas within a warehouse.
• Integrating with automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) for efficient material flow.
• Feeding stretch wrappers, strapping machines, or other end-of-line packaging equipment.
• Creating accumulation zones for pallets awaiting further processing or dispatch.
• Transporting heavy loads in manufacturing and distribution centres.

Typical capacity

Units of this type commonly handle pallet weights ranging from 500 kg to 2000 kg, depending on the roller and motor specifications.

Power supply

Typically requires a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, though some lighter duty units may operate on 230V, 1-phase.

Conveyor width

Commonly designed to accommodate standard Euro pallets (1200x800mm) and UK pallets (1200x1000mm), with widths typically ranging from 800mm to 1200mm.

Roller material

Rollers are typically made from galvanised steel for durability, with options for stainless steel in specific environments.

Drive type

This is a driven system, commonly utilising chain-driven rollers or tangential belt drives for positive movement of pallets.

Operating speed

Typical operating speeds for pallet roller conveyors range from 9 to 18 metres per minute, adjustable based on application requirements.

• What does 'driven coupled section' mean?

  A 'driven coupled section' indicates that the rollers are powered, typically by a motor and chain or belt system, to actively move pallets along the conveyor. 'Coupled' suggests it's designed to connect seamlessly with other conveyor sections.

• Can this conveyor handle different pallet sizes?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required?

• Is this suitable for food processing environments?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing conveyor line?

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.
