Soco Systems - Coupled driven roller pallet conveyor

• Moving palletised goods between different processing or storage areas.
• Integrating with automated warehousing systems for efficient material flow.
• Serving as accumulation lines before palletisers or stretch wrappers.
• Transporting heavy loads in distribution centres and manufacturing plants.

Typical capacity

Units of this type typically handle pallet weights ranging from 500 kg to 2000 kg, depending on the specific model and roller strength.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power based on length and load requirements.

Conveyor width

Often designed to accommodate standard Euro pallets (1200x800mm) or industrial pallets (1200x1000mm), with widths typically ranging from 850mm to 1250mm.

Roller material

Rollers are commonly made from galvanised steel for durability, with options for stainless steel in certain environments.

Drive mechanism

Features a coupled drive system, often using chains or belts, to ensure consistent and synchronised movement of rollers.

Operating speed

Typical operating speeds for pallet conveyors range from 0.1 to 0.3 metres per second, adjustable for specific application needs.

• What is a coupled driven roller pallet conveyor?

  It is a type of conveyor system where rollers are mechanically linked and driven by a motor, ensuring positive movement of pallets along the line. This differs from gravity or unpowered roller conveyors.

• What are the common maintenance requirements for this equipment?

• Can this conveyor handle different pallet sizes?

• Is installation complex for a used unit?

• What safety features should I look for?

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.
