If you are looking at efficient conveyor options, you may be considering installing gravity conveyor rollers. But can gravity be the best thing to power a conveyor belt? Here are a few advantages to installing these rollers.
No Power: In these type of conveyor systems, gravity moves products and materials from one point to another. This means that this type of system does not require an outside power source to function. Even a minute decline means that gravity can do all the work with no outside power required.
Cost Effective: Because there is no outside power needed to move objects and materials on the conveyor, these types of rollers are cost-effective. You save money by not needing to use an outside power source; instead, you have gravity do the hard work for you. And the best part is, gravity is free!
Low Friction: When materials and products roll along a conveyor belt, friction occurs. Sometimes, friction causes products to break down and have serious damage. It can also damage the rollers and cause them to break down over time. When gravity is used instead, there is less friction and less damage to the products. There is also less damage to the conveyor belt itself.
Custom: Rollers are customizable, and the same goes for rollers that use gravity. No matter what kind of products you are moving, these rollers can be designed to ensure that there are no problems with transport and that it is efficient. No matter what you need to have your conveyor work, gravity can be manipulated to make your rollers work smoothly.
Gravity conveyor rollers are an efficient addition to your conveyor belt. It does not require an outside power source, has low friction, is cost-effective, and can be customized to fit your specific requirements. If you have the option to have these rollers installed, don’t hesitate.
