Unknown - Roller Conveyor

• Transporting packaged food items between processing stages.
• Moving raw ingredients or bulk materials within a food production facility.
• Facilitating product flow in packing and dispatch areas.
• Integrating with other machinery for automated material handling.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly, but units of this type commonly handle loads from a few kilograms up to several hundred kilograms per metre.

Power supply

Motorised roller conveyors typically operate on 3-phase industrial power, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, though unpowered gravity rollers require no electrical supply.

Roller material

Rollers are commonly made from stainless steel or food-grade plastic for hygiene in food processing environments, or galvanised steel for general industrial use.

Frame material

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for washdown environments or painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Typical width

Commonly available in widths ranging from 300mm to 1200mm, depending on the intended product size.

Maintenance requirements

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

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

  Gravity roller conveyors rely on the slope of the conveyor or manual pushing to move items, while powered roller conveyors use motors to drive the rollers, providing controlled and continuous movement.

• Can this conveyor be integrated into an existing line?

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

• Are spare parts readily available for used roller conveyors?

• What should I consider regarding the condition of a used roller conveyor?

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.
