Soco Systems - Gravity Straight

• Moving packaged goods or components between workstations in a production line.
• Transporting items through packaging, labelling, or inspection stations.
• Facilitating order fulfilment in warehousing and distribution centres.
• Connecting different stages of an assembly process without powered assistance.

Typical capacity

Load capacity for this class of equipment typically ranges from 10 kg to 100 kg per metre, depending on roller or wheel type and construction.

Power supply

Gravity conveyors are unpowered and therefore do not require an electrical supply.

Construction material

Commonly found with steel or aluminium frames, and rollers can be steel, galvanised steel, or PVC.

Roller/Wheel pitch

The spacing between rollers or wheels typically varies from 50mm to 150mm, chosen based on the size of items being conveyed.

Width

Commonly available in widths from 300mm to 1000mm, to accommodate various product sizes.

Maintenance requirements

Generally low maintenance, primarily requiring periodic cleaning and inspection of rollers/wheels for free movement and bearing wear.

• What types of products are best suited for a gravity straight conveyor?

  Gravity straight conveyors are ideal for items with a flat, rigid base, such as boxes, crates, totes, and some types of packaged goods. Items must have sufficient weight to move by gravity.

• Can this conveyor handle inclines or declines?

• Is this unit suitable for food contact applications?

• How do I ensure items move smoothly on a gravity conveyor?

• Can this conveyor be integrated with other conveyor types?

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.
