Does your conveyor system check all the boxes?
You can easily be robbed of time and efficiency in your materials handling processes if you lack the right equipment or system configuration.
You want a setup that provides speed and consistency to move packages and your business ahead.
A roller bed conveyor system may be just what’s needed.
A versatile conveyor system that’s cost-effective and easy to maneuver.
Roller conveyor systems accelerate a number of shipping and materials handling operations. They are often cost-effective, versatile and easily configured making them the go-to conveyor system for companies large and small in industries such as:
Manufacturing
Order fulfillment
Food and beverage processing
Printing
Packaging
Product assembly
Because different roller conveyors solve different problems, it’s important to understand how each system functions.
Gravity Roller Conveyor
Also known as non-powered roller conveyors, gravity designs are one of the most commonly used conveyor designs. Their low-energy cost and simple design ensures they are necessities in electronic, automotive, packaging, bottling, and even chemical industries. There are three types of gravity roller conveyors:
Straight: Used for quick transport in a single line, like getting inventory off a delivery truck.
Curved: These keep production moving around permanent structures in a factory, warehouse, etc. Introducing a curved conveyor system is proven to help companies distribute and receive shipments more efficiently despite obstacles.
Roller spur: These systems merge and/or diverge objects from the main convey line. If a facility has several locations (like workstations) this system is perfect.
Powered Roller Conveyor
Power roller conveyors use precise programming to ensure every on-time delivery. A motorized belt moves each conveyor bar roller forward at a predetermined speed. Timing out distribution guarantees better analytics to optimize sales.
Gravity vs. Powered Roller Conveyors
The difference between gravity and power roller conveyors comes down to price, functionality, and load carrying capabilities. Both systems transport a variety of products like boxes, cartons, totes, bags, and even skids.
Gravity roller conveyors cost less. They use the force of gravity or manual pushing to move objects along the roller conveyor table. Gravity conveyors are limited to downhill and leveled conveying only, and they cannot operate at constant speeds.
Power roller conveyors cost more but can be more productive. They use a motorized roller belt conveyor to keep objects moving at a consistent speed. This enables uphill, downhill, leveled transportation along the roller table.
