Soco Systems - Coupled driven roller pallet conveyor

• Moving heavy pallets and containers within warehouses and distribution centres.
• Integrating into automated production lines for sequential product transfer.
• Buffering and accumulating pallets before further processing or dispatch.
• Handling goods in receiving and despatch areas of manufacturing facilities.

Typical load capacity

Typically designed for loads ranging from 500 kg to 2000 kg per pallet, depending on roller and motor specifications.

Roller material

Commonly features steel rollers, often galvanised or powder-coated for durability and resistance to wear.

Drive mechanism

Units of this type typically utilise chain-driven or belt-driven rollers, powered by an electric motor with a gearbox.

Power supply

For this class of equipment, a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply is commonly required.

Typical speed range

Conveying speeds are typically between 0.1 m/s and 0.3 m/s, adjustable via variable speed drives.

Section length

Individual coupled sections commonly range from 1.5 metres to 3 metres in length, allowing for modular system design.

• What is the benefit of a coupled driven roller conveyor?

  Coupled sections allow for a modular system, enabling easy extension or reconfiguration of the conveyor line. The driven rollers ensure positive movement of heavy loads, suitable for automated systems.

• Can these conveyors handle different pallet sizes?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used unit?

• Is installation complex for coupled sections?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturers?

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.
