NNP Flexi roller conveyor

• Used for temporary or reconfigurable transport of packaged goods within a food processing facility.
• Suitable for connecting different stages of a production line where flexibility in layout is required.
• Often employed for loading and unloading vehicles or containers in a warehouse environment.
• Can facilitate sorting and packing operations by providing adaptable material flow.

Typical Roller Width

Units of this type commonly feature roller widths ranging from 300mm to 600mm.

Adjustable Length

Flexi roller conveyors are designed to expand and contract, typically from 1m up to 5m or more, depending on the model.

Material Construction

Rollers are commonly made from steel or plastic, with frames often constructed from steel for durability.

Load Capacity

For this class of equipment, individual roller sections typically handle loads from 20kg to 100kg per metre, depending on design and roller material.

Power Supply

Most flexi roller conveyors are gravity-fed and do not require an external power supply. Powered versions, if available, would typically use standard single-phase UK mains.

Height Adjustment

Many models offer adjustable leg heights to match varying loading or unloading points.

Mobility

Units are typically fitted with lockable castor wheels for easy relocation and secure positioning.

• What are the primary benefits of a flexi roller conveyor?

  The main benefits include their ability to expand, contract, and curve, offering significant flexibility in layout. They are also highly portable and can be quickly deployed or stored.

• Are these conveyors suitable for all types of food products?

• How difficult is it to set up and reconfigure a flexi roller conveyor?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used flexi roller conveyor?

• Can these conveyors be integrated with existing automated lines?

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.
