Straight Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving packaged goods or containers between processing stages.
• Transporting raw materials or ingredients within a food production line.
• Facilitating assembly or inspection processes for food products.
• Loading and unloading operations for pallets or crates in a warehouse environment.
• Integrating with other machinery for automated material flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical roller material

Commonly stainless steel or food-grade plastic for hygiene in food applications.

Typical frame material

Often stainless steel or painted mild steel, depending on the environment.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, load capacity typically ranges from 50 kg to 500 kg per metre, depending on roller gauge and spacing.

Power supply

If powered, units commonly operate on 400V 3-phase or 230V single-phase, with unpowered gravity conveyors requiring no electrical input.

Typical roller diameter

Rollers commonly have diameters between 30mm and 80mm.

Typical working width

Working widths for straight roller conveyors typically range from 300mm to 1200mm.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, lubrication of bearings (if applicable), and inspection of rollers for wear are typically required.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between a powered and gravity roller conveyor?

  A gravity roller conveyor relies on the slope of the conveyor or manual pushing to move items. A powered roller conveyor uses a motor to drive the rollers, providing automated movement.

• Can this conveyor handle different product sizes?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• What kind of installation is typically required?

• How do I determine if this conveyor is the correct length for my operation?
