Unknown - Straight Roller Conveyor

• Moving packaged goods and boxes in warehousing and logistics operations.
• Transporting components between workstations in assembly lines.
• Handling items in packaging and dispatch areas within manufacturing facilities.
• Integrating into larger automated systems for material flow management.

Typical capacity

Typically designed for loads ranging from a few kilograms up to several hundred kilograms per metre, depending on roller gauge and construction.

Power supply

Unpowered (gravity) or typically 230V/400V three-phase for motorised versions, commonly 50Hz in the UK.

Roller material

Commonly steel, galvanised steel, or sometimes PVC for lighter duty or specific product handling.

Frame material

Typically mild steel, painted or powder-coated, or stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications.

Conveyor width

Commonly available in widths from 300mm to 1200mm, accommodating various product sizes.

Operating speed

For motorised units, speeds typically range from 0.1 to 0.5 metres per second, often adjustable.

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

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

• Can this conveyor handle irregular shaped items?

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

• How do I determine the correct conveyor length for my application?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer roller conveyors?

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.
