Gravity
& Powered Rollers
|
|
The
rollers are the critical component of the gravity conveyor
systems, and are manufactured to many specifications depending
on the application.
|
Tapered
rollers or split parallel rollers are used for curves and
bends and may be deigned to suit the project. Rollers can
be mild steel, stainless steel or plastic, rubber coated,
zinc coated or galvanised. The spindles may be spring loaded,
stub axles, drilled and tapped or turned down with a male
end thread.

|
The actual type of roller to be used is totally dependant
on the application in question and what product is to be conveyed.
For quotation purposes we need to know such information as:-
-
Weights and dimensions of product,
- The
environment they are to be used in (e.g. ambient temperature,
wet environment etc.),
- If
they are to be used in an existing frame, what is the inside
frame width and at what pitch are they to be set at,
- Should
they be light, medium or heavy duty,
- What
capacity do you require the bearings to withstand.
Once
these questions are answered, the correct type of roller can
be produced. Please contact us
for discussion or quotation purposes, and indeed for further
information.
