Belt and Roller Conveyors
Belt and Roller Conveyors from CSL
Our conveyor systems are designed to maximise a safe and efficient operation, moving products smoothly without any flow issues.
What are Conveyor Belt and Roller Systems Used For?
Belt and roller conveyor lines are the most common types of conveyor systems. Both are commonly found in warehouses, fulfilment, and logistic facilities where products must be transported and accumulated.
Conveyor belts play a significant role in maximising efficiency within a business operation. Powered roller conveyors can carry products up to 8,000 kg.
Belt and roller conveyor systems are primarily used for:
Our Range of Conveyor Lines
Motorised Roller Conveyors (ZLP)
Motorised Roller Conveyors have a 24v DC drive, ensuring safe and quiet operation. They move things faster than older systems and work well in high throughput areas where careful product handling is needed.
Their unique design prevents products from touching (Zero Line Pressure Accumulation). This is perfect for delicate items or those with different shapes and weights, reducing damage and accumulation troubles.
From cartons and totes to boxes, these conveyors smoothly and efficiently manage the flow without issue.
Powered Roller Conveyors (Lineshaft)
Powered roller conveyors, known as Lineshaft, are the most cost-effective champions in material handling. Using a standard SEW motor gearbox, they efficiently transfer drive through an underslung lineshaft, partnered with bands and spools.
They are hugely versatile and designed to seamlessly incorporate devices like switch sorters, right-angled transfers, and pushers. Their low-pressure accumulation ensures products remain damage-free throughout their journey.
This system truly embodies the blend of economy and efficiency.
Gravity Roller Conveyors
Gravity Roller Conveyor Systems are a cost-effective solution to enhance production flow between two points. They minimise manual handling and ensure a swifter transition of goods.
We offer a diverse selection, from steel and high-impact plastic rollers to skate wheels and heavy-duty roller sections. Our range includes extendable and mobile conveyors, providing flexibility for linking assembly lines, packaging machines, and warehouses. This creates seamless vehicle loading and unloading.
Experience the balance of affordability and effectiveness.

Conveyor Belts
Conveyor Belts offer a customised solution tailored to diverse industries. Our designs can transform the processes of various sectors, from food-safe stainless steel belts to those perfect for factories and warehouses.
From fast-moving and gapping belts that work for dynamic E-Commerce companies to slower transit conveyors, we’ve got it all. Our goal is to help you find the perfect fit for lightweight packets or bulkier loads.
Benefits:
- Adaptable orientations: incline, decline, horizontal, and metering-gapping.
- Low maintenance.
- Ideal for poly bags, packets, totes, cartons, and even irregular products.
- Features available for organising and buffering
- Various belt surfaces are available to match specific requirements.
Conveyor belts and roller systems FAQs
What's the difference between conveyor belts and roller conveyors?
Conveyor belts use a continuous loop of material to move products. In contrast, roller conveyors use cylindrical rollers aligned in sequence to transport items. The best choice often depends on the nature of the products being transported.
What types of conveyor belts are included in your range?
Our range is expansive, and the integration is seamless. We use both end-driven drum drives for smaller items to ensure efficient transitions and motors equipped with brakes for handling heavier loads, especially on inclines or declines.
Which industries commonly use these conveyor systems?
Both conveyor belts and roller conveyors are versatile and serve multiple industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, manufacturing, logistics, and more.
What are the benefits of conveyor belts?
What sets conveyor belts apart is their cost-effective approach to altering product elevation, all while retaining a linear design. Our belts can have bends, different speed sections, and other features for added flexibility.
How often should I service my conveyor system?
Regular maintenance is crucial. Our ConveyorCare plans offer peace of mind to protect your investment. The exact frequency depends on usage and the specific system. However, periodic checks every 3-6 months are generally recommended.
Are there safety concerns I should be aware of?
Safety is paramount. It’s essential to ensure that workers are trained to use conveyors safely and safety features like guards and emergency stops are integrated into the design.
How long is the typical lifespan of a conveyor system?
With regular maintenance, conveyor systems can last for many years, often well over a decade. The exact lifespan varies based on usage and system type.
How energy-efficient are Conveyor systems?
Modern conveyor systems are designed with energy efficiency in mind, utilising technology to minimise power consumption while maximising performance.
Can I expand or modify my conveyor system in the future?
Yes, many of our systems are modular in design, allowing for future expansion or reconfiguration as your business needs evolve.
How does a conveyor roller work?
Conveyor rollers are steel components with precision bearings designed to move loads. Each roller is 6” apart, ensuring a continuous and safe flow of goods between areas in a warehouse.
