Learn about roller conveyors

Roller conveyors are a type of conveyor that operates based on the transmission of sprockets. When operating, it has a low friction coefficient and extremely low water resistance - this is also the reason why this conveyor belt is widely used in industries.

Roller conveyors are used to move products of different sizes. The conveyor system always operates stably. Vibration and noise during operation are low so it does not affect the working environment of surrounding people.

Characteristics of roller conveyors

Roller conveyors have an extremely simple structure. The product is easy to assemble and easy to maintain.
• The rollers are galvanized, limiting wear during operation.
• The rollers are linked together through the sprocket shaft.
• The frame of the conveyor belt is made of electrostatic steel or stainless steel so it has high rigidity.
• Plastic barriers help prevent products from falling off the conveyor belt.
• Payload capacity up to 200kg.
• Stable conveyor system, extremely low noise.

Outstanding advantages of roller conveyors

Roller conveyors are popular because they offer many outstanding advantages:
• The product is compact, lightweight and easy to move anywhere.
• Low cost.
• Smooth operation.
• Can be folded when not in use.
However, roller conveyors still have some minor disadvantages such as:
• Only operate mainly light goods, especially cubed or boxed goods.
• Aesthetics are not highly appreciated by users.
• Durability when used together.

Application of roller conveyor

Roller conveyors are used a lot in life. Such as:
• The product is widely used in warehouses because it is compact, lightweight and can be easily moved to different locations.
• Designed with a mechanism that gradually guides the cargo so it can move through curved corners when transported.
• Roller conveyors can be combined with other types of conveyors such as PVC conveyors, rubber conveyors... They can be combined uniformly and continuously when transporting goods.

Note when using roller conveyors

Although roller conveyors in particular and chain conveyors in general offer many advantages in use, when using roller conveyors, users need to pay attention to avoid reducing the life of chain and roller conveyors. At the same time, to ensure operations and the lives of workers, businesses need to pay attention to the following issues:
• Avoid overloading the chain, causing the chain to become loose and easily break, causing serious effects when used.
• Businesses should regularly monitor to avoid foreign objects falling into jams and scratches on the conveyor belt.
• Conveyor chains and rollers need to be serviced and maintained regularly to ensure smooth operation.
• After many hours of continuous operation, the conveyor belt should rest for 10 - 15 minutes to reduce the amount of friction during operation.
