Why should you do all the work when you can just let gravity do it for you? Gravity conveyor rollers eliminate the cost of energy you would otherwise need to drive automated conveyor belts. They offer a lasting, low-maintenance solution for a wide array of warehouse, factory, and logistics applications.
Straight Rollers: Maximize Your Choices for Improved Output and Speed
Gravity conveyor rollers are uniquely suited to many industrial, warehouse, factory and logistics applications. Their manual operation lets you and your team control the flow of materials along a given line and take time to assure quality.
The two main types of rollers are straight and tapered. Each type has its own handful of associated subcategories from which you can select according to your needs and objectives. The straight type includes plain cylindrical rollers as well as rollers with one groove or two grooves, and one sprocket or two sprockets.
Grooves and sprockets offer the option of setups entailing gravity conveyors with fixed shafts or continuous chains. Both are advisable for operations that move heavy loads repeatedly.
Tapered Rollers: Anticipate Bends and Curves Like a Pro
Tapered rollers have the silhouette of a slender cone, with one flared side tapering to a narrower, more streamlined side. When strategically positioned, tapered rollers let you affect bends and curves in the conveyor line, conducting products and materials down and around unique warehouse setups.
Similar to straight rollers, tapered rollers come plain, with one groove or two grooves and one sprocket or two sprockets. Each type of roller provides smooth operation devoid of friction.
Both types of gravity conveyor rollers significantly improve conveyor belt applications with even the tiniest incline. Extreme declines and nearly vertical angles aren’t necessary.
In fact, the tiniest decline sufficiently draws materials down a conveyor, providing the conveyor contains rollers that have tough construction, fluid bearings, seamless housing, and zero-friction operation.
