Roller Conveyor

Roller conveyors, also known as Roller conveyors, are not only a simple conveying device but also a comprehensive solution to improve working conditions and increase productivity. With the ability to transport heavy goods easily and safely, roller conveyors help reduce work overload and create a healthier working environment. In addition, the flexibility and high durability of roller conveyors are also factors that make this device popular in many different industries.
 

What is a roller conveyor?

A roller conveyor is an automatic conveying system, consisting of many rollers installed on a fixed frame. Products can move on the conveyor by gravity or be pushed by an electric motor. This device is widely used in factories and warehouses to transport cartons, pallets, plastic boxes, etc. with high efficiency.

Roller conveyors have a simple but sturdy structure, flexible in adjusting length and height. Rollers are made from many different materials such as stainless steel, steel, plastic, suitable for many types of products and working environments. Thanks to its high applicability, roller conveyors have become an optimal solution for transporting goods in modern production lines.
 

Structural characteristics of industrial roller conveyor

• Conveyor frame: A sturdy frame, usually made of aluminum, steel or stainless steel, that supports the entire system, ensuring the transportation process is stable and accurate. Thanks to its flexible design, the conveyor frame can be easily assembled and adjusted to suit many different types of goods and working spaces.
• Rollers: The pulling rollers are usually made of aluminum or galvanized, and are responsible for pulling the product. Meanwhile, the support rollers, usually made of stainless steel or galvanized steel, have the function of supporting and keeping the conveyor stable.
• Roller shaft: Meticulously machined with details such as chamfering, hole tapping, and groove milling to create precise connection points with the conveyor frame. Thanks to that, the rollers are always kept fixed and operate stably.
• Bearings: Protected by a sealed seal system, helping the rollers operate smoothly and durably. Thanks to that, the conveyor can operate stably and continuously for a long time, even in dusty or chemical environments.
• Motor: From energy-saving 24V DC motors to larger capacity motors. The motor helps transmit motion to the rollers, thereby transporting goods. However, some simple conveyors only use gravity to move products.
• Controller: inverter, PLC, sensor, ... help the process of transporting goods become more automated, accurate and efficient

Outstanding advantages of using roller conveyor:

• Roller conveyors are designed to be simple, compact and easy to use.
• Easy to combine with many production lines.
• Can adjust speed and reverse ability.
• Low coefficient of friction, has a sealing system and is waterproof and dustproof.
• Roller conveyors operate for many hours while still ensuring efficiency and no noise during transportation.
• Reasonable price.

Roller conveyor applications in industry

Roller conveyors are used to:

• Move goods between two points or workstations. This is the basic use of roller conveyors and they are highly effective in production management, warehousing and logistics
• Move products continuously, even very heavy and bulky products.
• Continuous feeding in production lines.
• They are best suited for moving boxes, totes, crates and even pallets.
• Move goods while they are being processed at the workstation. Common applications in warehouses for handling and packaging final products.
• Arrange the order of product entry into the production or processing line.
• Move materials without consuming energy (gravity roller conveyor).
• Roller conveyor transports goods on pallets.

Applications of roller conveyors in industries such as:

• Automobile and motorbike manufacturing industry: Transporting components, engines, car tires, ... from warehouse to assembly line.
• Food, pharmaceuticals: Transporting raw materials, finished products, packaging products.
• Electronics: Transporting electronic components, circuit boards, finished equipment.
• Warehouse: Transporting goods from warehouse to shipping area, classifying goods.
• Distribution center: Transporting goods to repackaging areas, preparing for delivery.
• Airport: Transporting luggage, goods from aircraft to check-in area.
• Agriculture: Transporting agricultural products, packaging products.
