Roller Conveyors
Roller Conveyor Systems
The most common forms of conveyor utilise roller technology, depending on requirements, speeds, product type and budget there are several types of roller conveyor. The modular design allows for the cost-effective integration of conveyor modules to create highly efficient and adaptable materials handling solutions.
Benefits & Features of Roller Conveyors
- Greater control features and operational functionality
- Cost Effective
- Modular – allowing flexibility and future expansion
- Low Maintenance
Gravity Rollers
Gravity roller conveyors offer a cost-effective way of reducing manual handling, moving goods, and speeding up the flow of goods between two points.
CSL offers a wide range of gravity roller solutions, including standard steel rollers, high-impact plastic rollers, plastic or steel ‘skate’ wheels, and even extra heavy-duty steel roller sections.
Lineshaft Powered Roller Conveyor
The most versatile and economical conveyor in material handling.
It is powered by a standard SEW motor gearbox transferring drive using an underslung lineshaft and a series of bands and spools to transfer motion to the rollers.
Lineshaft systems are designed to integrate a range of standard ancillary devices, including switch sorters, right-angled transfers, blade stops, pushers, etc.
Motorised Roller Conveyors (ZLP)
A 24-v DC drive creates a safe, quiet system that provides controlled accumulation.
It is ideal for controlled singulation and product flow in a high throughput environment.
Designed for non-contact accumulation (Zero Line Pressure Accumulation), it is ideal for handling delicate or varying shapes, sizes, and weights of products that need to be queued without contact. This will avoid damage to products on the conveyor or alleviate any accumulation issues.
These systems are ideal for cartons, totes, and boxes.
Belt Under Roller
A roller conveyor system based on free-running rollers with a flat transmission belt in contact with the underside of the roller. Driven by a standard motor gearbox.
The belt-under roller is ideal for medium-weight totes/cartons/boxes at higher speeds or over long lengths with a single drive unit.
