Roller Conveyor 400mm x 2000mm

• Moving packaged goods or components between workstations in a manufacturing facility.
• Transporting boxes or totes in a warehouse or distribution centre.
• Facilitating assembly line operations by moving products through various stages.
• Integrating into larger automated systems for material handling.

Typical throughput

Dependent on item weight and manual handling speed; gravity conveyors are typically suited for intermittent or low-speed continuous flow.

Suitable item types

Flat-bottomed items such as boxes, crates, pallets, or totes. Items should be wider than the gap between rollers.

Frame material

This unit features a mild steel frame, commonly found for general industrial use. Stainless steel legs are noted for this specific unit, offering enhanced corrosion resistance in that area.

Roller material

Typically mild steel, galvanised steel, or plastic for gravity conveyors, depending on the application and environment.

Power supply

Gravity roller conveyors do not require an external power supply, relying on incline or manual push for movement.

Maintenance requirements

Generally low, focusing on keeping rollers clean and free of debris, and checking for smooth operation.

• What is a gravity roller conveyor?

  A gravity roller conveyor uses a series of rollers mounted within a frame. Items move along the conveyor either by gravity on a slight decline or by manual pushing, without the need for a motor.

• Can this conveyor handle heavy items?

• Is this unit suitable for food processing environments?

• How is the speed of items controlled on a gravity conveyor?

• Can this conveyor be easily integrated into an existing line?

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.
