DC Norris Roller conveyor

• Moving products between processing stages in food production lines.
• Transporting packaged goods within a warehouse or distribution centre.
• Facilitating assembly line operations in light manufacturing.
• Buffering products before packing or palletising stations.

Typical load capacity per roller

Typically 20-50 kg, depending on roller material and diameter.

Typical overall load capacity

For this class of equipment, overall capacity commonly ranges from 100-300 kg over the conveying section.

Power supply

Gravity roller conveyors are unpowered and rely on product weight and incline for movement.

Construction material

Commonly stainless steel or mild steel with food-grade plastic rollers for food applications, or galvanised steel for general industrial use.

Operating environment

Suitable for ambient temperatures; specific washdown capabilities depend on construction.

Typical roller pitch

The spacing between rollers typically ranges from 50mm to 150mm, influencing the size of items that can be conveyed smoothly.

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

  Gravity roller conveyors are best suited for items with a firm, flat bottom, such as boxes, crates, trays, and some types of packaged goods. Items with irregular shapes or soft bases may not convey effectively.

• How do I determine the correct incline for gravity flow?

• Can this conveyor be integrated into an existing line?

• What maintenance is required for a gravity roller conveyor?

• Is a holding area common on these units?

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.
