Roller Conveyor (90 degree angle)

• Used for changing the direction of product flow on a conveyor line within warehousing and logistics operations.
• Integrated into assembly lines to route components between different workstations.
• Utilised in packaging areas to divert products for boxing, labelling, or palletising.
• Applied in manufacturing facilities for material handling between processing stages.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, units commonly handle loads ranging from light cartons to medium-weight pallets, typically up to 500 kg, depending on roller construction and motorisation.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, power requirements are typically 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, though smaller units may operate on 230V, 1-phase.

Roller material

Rollers are typically constructed from mild steel, galvanised steel, or stainless steel, with plastic options for lighter duty or specific hygiene requirements.

Operating speed

Operating speeds are typically variable, ranging from 5 to 30 metres per minute, adjustable to integrate with upstream and downstream equipment.

Footprint

The footprint will vary significantly based on the roller width and curve radius, but buyers should consider the space required for the 90-degree turn plus lead-in and lead-out sections.

Drive type

Units are commonly driven by electric motors with chain or belt drives, or sometimes by individual motorised rollers for more precise control.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  This type of roller conveyor is suitable for items with a flat, stable base, such as boxes, crates, pallets, and totes. Items with irregular shapes or very small footprints may not be suitable.

• Is this unit suitable for food-grade applications?

• Can the direction of rotation be reversed?

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

• How is this unit integrated into an existing conveyor 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.
