Wrightfield Powered Roller Conveyor

• Moving packaged goods or individual items between processing stages.
• Transporting products through quality control or inspection points.
• Integrating with other machinery for automated production lines.
• Accumulating products temporarily before further handling or packaging.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, load capacities typically range from 50 kg to 200 kg per metre, depending on roller strength and motorisation.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power requirements.

Construction material

As indicated, this unit is stainless steel, which is common for hygiene-sensitive environments such as food processing or pharmaceuticals.

Conveyor width

While this unit is approximately 400mm wide, powered roller conveyors are commonly found in widths ranging from 300mm to 1200mm.

Conveyor length

This unit is approximately 2m long; however, modular designs typically allow for various lengths to suit specific line requirements.

Throughput

Throughput for powered roller conveyors is typically determined by line speed, which can often be variable, and the size/weight of items being conveyed.

Roller pitch

The spacing between rollers (pitch) is critical for conveying different product sizes and is typically specified to prevent small items from falling through.

• What types of products are suitable for a powered roller conveyor?

  Powered roller conveyors are generally suitable for items with a flat, rigid base, such as cartons, totes, pallets, or trays. Irregularly shaped or soft items may require a different conveyor type.

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

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

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• Can this conveyor be integrated into an existing line?

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.
