GRAVITY ROLLER CONVEYORS

The most basic type of conveyor system, gravity roller conveyors, are among the most competitively priced options. These conveyors operate on a gravity-based mechanism, requiring human intervention to enable the movement of items along the conveyor path.

Despite being unpowered, the capabilities of roller conveyors should not be underestimated, as they have many effective applications. By positioning them on a slight incline of approximately 3 degrees, the need for manual pushing is significantly reduced, enhancing efficiency. For many years, these conveyors have been a staple in production lines, particularly, end-of-line applications for product accumulation.

Gravity roller conveyors are used in many and varied industries, including food processing, automotive manufacturing, logistics, and packaging. Their versatility is further demonstrated by their load capacity, which can accommodate items ranging from lightweight products to several tonnes, thereby providing exceptional flexibility in their applications.

For non-food-related uses, the sides of the conveyor can be constructed from mild steel with a durable powder-coated finish. In contrast, when employed in food environments, these conveyors are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel to meet stringent hygiene standards.

The conveyor rollers are often coated and zinc-plated to offer enhanced protection against wear and tear. Full stainless steel options are available in food processing settings to ensure compliance with health regulations.
