Roller conveyors are a type of material handling equipment used to move goods and materials along a conveyor belt. They consist of a series of rollers that rotate on a frame, allowing the items placed on them to move with ease. Roller conveyors can be used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, distribution, and logistics.
There are several types of roller conveyors available, including gravity roller conveyors, powered roller conveyors, and accumulation roller conveyors. Gravity roller conveyors rely on the force of gravity to move items down the conveyor, while powered roller conveyors use motorized rollers to move items along the belt. Accumulation roller conveyors are designed to temporarily stop or hold items in place before releasing them onto the next section of the conveyor.
Roller conveyors can be customized to fit specific material handling needs, such as the size and weight of the items being transported, the speed of the conveyor, and the layout of the facility. They are a reliable and efficient way to move materials within a facility, and can help increase productivity and reduce downtime.
