Used L.A Conveyor Systems - Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving products between workstations or processing stages in manufacturing.
• Transporting goods within warehousing and distribution centres.
• Facilitating assembly lines for various industrial products.
• Handling packaged foods or ingredients in food processing environments.
• Integrating into automated material handling systems for efficiency.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Typically designed for light to medium loads, often up to 50-100 kg per metre, depending on roller construction and spacing.

Power supply

Unpowered (gravity) roller conveyors require no external power. Powered versions commonly use 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase supplies for motor operation.

Conveyor length

Lengths vary significantly; individual sections are typically between 1.5m and 3m, which can be combined to form longer systems.

Roller material

Rollers are commonly made from steel, galvanised steel, or sometimes plastic for lighter duty or specific hygiene requirements.

Frame construction

Frames are typically constructed from mild steel, often painted or powder-coated, or stainless steel for food-grade or corrosive environments.

Operating speed

For powered units, speeds are typically adjustable, ranging from 5 to 30 metres per minute, depending on the application and motor specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

  Gravity roller conveyors rely on the incline and momentum of the product to move, requiring no motor. Powered roller conveyors use motors to drive the rollers, providing controlled movement on flat or inclined surfaces.

• Can this type of conveyor handle products of different sizes?

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

• Is a roller conveyor suitable for delicate items?

• Can roller conveyors be curved or reconfigured?
