- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, load capacities typically range from light-duty (e.g., 50 kg per metre) to heavy-duty (e.g., 500 kg per metre), depending on roller construction and frame strength.
- Power supply
- Unpowered roller conveyors are common, relying on gravity or manual push. Powered versions typically use a 400V 3-phase supply for motor-driven rollers, though 230V single-phase options exist for lighter applications.
- Roller material
- Rollers are commonly made from galvanised steel, stainless steel for corrosive environments, or PVC/plastic for lighter, non-abrasive items.
- Frame material
- Frames are typically constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated), or stainless steel for hygiene-critical or washdown applications.
- Typical width range
- Commonly found widths for the conveying surface range from 300mm to 1200mm, accommodating various item sizes.
- Maintenance requirements
- Maintenance for unpowered units is minimal, primarily involving cleaning and occasional bearing checks. Powered units require regular inspection of motors, chains/belts, and bearings.
