'''Roller Conveyor''' is a type of [[Conveyors]] with a series of rollers supported in a frame over which objects are advanced manually, by gravity, or by power.A roller conveyor is a conveyor that consists of a series of parallel rotating bars that move goods along to their end destination. Roller conveyors are used in environments like warehouses and manufacturing facilities. | |||
These conveyors are containing sprocket at one terminal and a bearing housing at other. A roller shaft runs through the rollers, which are mounted on the extruded aluminum rails. | |||
Roller conveyors are the proper choice when you need to side load, push off, accumulate a product or adjust pressure on carrying rollers. Roller conveyor types are chain driven, belt driven, line shaft driven, accumulation, or non-powered (gravity). Using roller conveyors instead of slider bed conveyors adds versatility to the type of transfers, diverters and stops that can be used in a system. Rollers are available in mild steel, galvanized, plastic or stainless steel. |
