Roller Conveyor Table

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving packages and components in warehousing and logistics operations.
• Transporting items between workstations in assembly lines.
• Feeding processing machinery in manufacturing environments.
• Handling goods for inspection, packing, or dispatch areas.

Typical Specifications

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What types of items are suitable for a roller conveyor table?

  Roller conveyor tables are best suited for items with a flat, rigid base, such as boxes, crates, pallets, and some types of components. Items with irregular shapes or soft bases may not convey effectively.

• Can this type of conveyor handle inclines or declines?

• Is this unit suitable for food processing environments?

• How do I determine the correct roller pitch (distance between rollers)?

• What are the advantages of a used roller conveyor?
