90 Degree Angled Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Changing the direction of product flow on a conveyor line within food processing facilities.
• Integrating different stages of production or packaging lines where a corner turn is required.
• Optimising floor space by allowing conveyor routes to navigate around obstacles or facility layouts.
• Facilitating the transfer of various packaged or contained food items between processing stations.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Load capacity for this class of equipment typically ranges from 50 kg to 200 kg per metre, depending on roller construction and motorisation.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, power requirements are typically 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, with smaller units potentially using 230V, 1-phase.

Roller material

Rollers are typically constructed from stainless steel or food-grade plastic (e.g., HDPE) for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Frame material

The frame is commonly made from stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) to ensure corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Conveying speed

Typical conveying speeds for this equipment range from 0.1 to 0.5 metres per second, often adjustable via a variable speed drive.

Footprint

The footprint will vary, but for this class of equipment, the bend radius and roller width dictate the space required, typically needing a square area corresponding to the bend's outer radius.
