NNP - NNP Roller conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting packaged food items between processing stages.
• Moving crates or trays of ingredients within a food production facility.
• Facilitating inspection or sorting lines for various food products.
• Connecting different pieces of processing machinery for continuous flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, roller conveyors commonly handle individual items weighing up to 50 kg, depending on roller strength and spacing.

Power supply

Non-powered roller conveyors do not require an external power supply, relying on gravity or manual push. Powered versions typically use 400V 3-phase or 230V single-phase.

Throughput

Throughput is highly variable, depending on the item size, weight, and the speed of manual or automated feeding and offloading.

Materials of construction

Units for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The overall length and width are key footprint dimensions. This unit is stated as 3100mm long with a 450mm roller width.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance for non-powered units is generally low, focusing on roller cleanliness and ensuring smooth rotation. Powered units require motor and bearing checks.

Suitable feed sizes

Items wider than the roller width (450mm for this unit) cannot be conveyed. Items significantly narrower may require side guides.
