Gravity Roller Conveyors & Gravity Roller Conveyor Systems
Make your selection from the types below....

|
Straight running gravity roller conveyors are generally the lowest cost
option for conveying. Light and heavy loads can be accommodated.
|
Gravity roller conveyor bends allow products to take corners. Because there
is no power they are economical but there is generally less control of the product.
|
A gravity roller conveyor merge will allow you to introduce a new product on
to a straight running gravity conveyor from the left or right hand side.
|
Gravity roller conveyors are the most basic, lowest cost conveyor option available.
Without a motor, the rollers run freely and the conveyor transports
products that are either pushed or move by gravity because the roller conveyor is on an incline.
No power is required. Full or part width roller and also
skate wheel options are available.
Steel or plastic rollers can be set at a pitch to suit your loading
requirements.
Common roller diameters available:
Steel: 35, 50, & 60mm.
Plastic: 40 & 50mm.
Roller pitch: 37.5, 75, 112.5 & 150mm depending on the loading on the
rollers.
Frame widths: Standards range from 150mm to 1,500mm.
Lift up gates, and bends available.
Construction materials (frame): Mild steel, aluminium, stainless steel
options.
A wide range of roller diameters are available depending on the product being
conveyed. Standard is usually 40 to 50mm dia.
For special applications where small parts are being conveyed, or
where the product being conveyed warrants it, the roller size and the pitch can be greatly reduced to offer an
almost flat conveying area.
You can also stretch the roller spacing or "Pitch" for larger
products, thereby reducing the amount of rollers in contact with the product and thereby also reducing the price.
Caution is needed however because the weight capacity of the rollers needs to be taken into account.
The stand systems for these conveyors are usually adjustable in
height so that in some cases an incline can assist the smooth movement of the product on the conveyor.
Steel, galvanised steel,
stainless steel aluminium and plastic rollers available depending on application. A wide range of width and length
options are possible dependent on product being conveyed.
