Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving items between workstations in manufacturing and assembly lines.
• Transporting goods in warehousing and logistics operations.
• Facilitating product flow in packaging and distribution centres.
• Handling materials in sorting and inspection processes.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Typically designed for loads ranging from light parcels to several hundred kilograms per metre, depending on roller construction and frame robustness.

Power supply

Powered roller conveyors commonly operate on 400V 3-phase or 230V single-phase, with unpowered gravity conveyors requiring no electrical supply.

Roller material

Commonly features steel, stainless steel, or PVC rollers, selected based on the conveyed item's weight, material, and environmental conditions.

Frame construction

Typically constructed from mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminium, offering durability and resistance to various industrial environments.

Conveying speed

Powered units typically offer variable speeds, often ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 metres per second, adjustable to process requirements.

Footprint

Available in various lengths and widths to suit specific layouts, with typical widths for this class of equipment ranging from 300mm to 1200mm.
