Product details
A roller conveyor is a type of conveyor system that uses rollers mounted in a frame to transport materials. It’s especially suited for moving flat-bottomed items, like boxes, totes, and pallets. ⚙️ How It Works: Items move along a series of cylindrical rollers. Movement can be gravity-driven (sloped) or powered (motorized rollers or chains). Materials either roll freely or are pushed/pulled along. 🧱 Types of Roller Conveyors: Gravity Roller Conveyor Uses the force of gravity (sloped) to move products. Simple and cost-effective. Powered Roller Conveyor Rollers are powered by motors, belts, or chains. Ideal for controlling product speed and movement. Line Shaft or Chain-Driven Roller Conveyor A single motor drives multiple rollers using belts or chains. Common in high-speed or complex conveyor systems. ✅ Advantages: Great for heavy or bulky items Low energy use (especially gravity versions) Easy to install, extend, or modify Can be combined with other conveyor types 📦 Common Applications: Warehousing and distribution centers Packaging lines Manufacturing and assembly Shipping and receiving docks
