Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting palletised goods within warehousing and distribution centres.
• Integrating into automated production lines for material handling.
• Moving heavy loads between different processing stages in manufacturing.
• Buffering and accumulating pallets prior to dispatch or further processing.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, individual pallet loads typically range from 500 kg to 2000 kg, depending on roller strength and motorisation.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, though smaller systems may use 230V single-phase.

Conveyor width

Typically designed to accommodate standard Euro pallets (1200x800mm) or industrial pallets (1200x1000mm), with corresponding roller widths.

Throughput

Throughput rates are highly variable but can typically handle 30-60 pallets per hour, depending on system design and integration.

Construction material

Frames are commonly constructed from mild steel, often powder-coated, with rollers typically made from galvanised steel or sometimes plastic for lighter duties.

Drive mechanism

These systems typically utilise chain-driven or O-belt driven rollers, providing positive drive for consistent pallet movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does 'coupled section' mean for a pallet roller conveyor?

  A 'coupled section' indicates that this unit is designed to connect with other similar sections, forming a longer, integrated conveyor system where power is shared or synchronised.
