Applications of Roller conveyors

Roller conveyors are used to transmit goods smoothly between production processes.

• In industrial applications, the movement of heavy materials and uncontrollable objects between workstations during the manufacturing process.
• Reduce labourers' workload and protect them from injuries caused by lifting heavy materials.
• Protect products against harm during long-distance transit.
• Used at airport check-in counters for luggage handling and loading areas. 
• In the automotive industry, car parts or chassis can be easily moved between car body frames.
• Courier businesses handle parcels.                 
• Roller conveyors may connect various warehouse zones, including connecting multiple levels and streamlining.
• It allows for the precise movement of heavy goods or electronic equipment.

Introduction of Roller conveyors

Roller conveyors are the most versatile and adaptable conveyors. These are utilized for warehousing, supply chain management, inventory control, abrasive shot blasting machine, and cargo handling, and are incredibly cost-effective. It makes it possible for frequently utilized cargo shipments to be transported very swiftly and effectively. It is widely utilized in locations with motorized segments or gravity effects for extended schedules, complex configurations, or sophisticated setups. It can be moved manually or with power using rollers fixed on frames. Its cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and modularity make it widely used. Completely revised software system with mechanical and electrical setup in response to current and future demands. Its operating system is user-friendly and has a touchscreen.  Roller conveyors are used to smoothly transport workpieces through the shot blasting room.

Types of  Roller conveyors 

Roller conveyors are classified into four groups.

Gravity Roller Conveyors

Gravity roller conveyors are the most cost-effective and straightforward method of conveying products. This is a non-powered conveyor system. It transports the material using gravity and a set of rollers. It is only used for material that is horizontal or slightly inclined towards the rollers. It offers versatility and modular configurations. It was most commonly used as an alternative to skate wheel conveyors in heavy-duty material, abrasive blasting machines, and cargo handling applications. Because of this, workflow balance is maintained while processing time is reduced in industrial manufacturing facilities.

• The standard rollers are zinc-plated.
• It comes in both light and medium duty models.
• On the inner side guards, 50-60mm diameter steel rollers with a pitch area of 75mm are attached.
• Gravity Bend is a 'Z'-section structure.
• On the gravity roller table, plastic free-running rollers are accessible.
• The table's tracks can be steel or aluminum.
• The space between roller centers varies depending on the application. Normal space measures 3", 4.5", and 6".
• Frames are often made of powder-coated steel or aluminum
• Roller pitch ranges from 75mm to 150mm.
• Conveyor frame width ranges from 300mm to 1200mm.
• The incline angle is usually 3-5 degrees.
• The bearing housing contains and protects the bearings within the rollers. It can be composed of steel and plastics.
•  Idler rollers are a cylindrical structure that rotates freely and supports the conveyor belt. These are made of steel, nylon, and PVC.

Line Shaft Roller Conveyors

Line shaft roller conveyors are motorized roller conveyors. It employs a shaft that rotates constantly. The shaft is attached to the conveyor's framework. The belts that connect the shaft to individual rollers are known as drive spools and elastic polyurethane o-rings or belts. These belts work to smooth the movement of light or medium-weight materials. An electric motor that is typically controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC). It spins the line shaft by allowing coexisting movement along long and curved conveyors without the use of separate chains, complex mechanical couplings, or separate drives.

•  Lineshaft operated by an electric motor with a 25mm diameter.
•  Rollers with diameters ranging from 1.5" to 2.5" are made of steel, aluminum, or PVC. 
•  Polyurethane o-rings (3-5mm);
•  Roller frame made of powder-coated or galvanized steel.
•  0.25-1.5HP motor, 230V/450V, 3-phase or 24DC for modular system.  
•  Roller diameters: 38mm and 50mm.
•  Roller materials are commonly galvanized, stainless steel, or aluminum

Motor-driven roller Conveyors:

MDRs are powered roller conveyors. It employs a low-voltage (24V DC) motor that is integrated within the roller shafts. These systems are modular with minimal energy consumption. Poly-V or Poly-O rings are used to power adjacent passive rollers. These conveyors are highly flexible, simple to use and install, and excel in accumulation and transfer applications in e-commerce, postal, and high-volume distribution systems. These are quiet to operate, modularly scalable, energy-efficient, and require little maintenance.

• Idler rollers, also known as slave rollers, are not powered rollers. It revolves via a mechanical linkage from MDR. It's handy for transporting smooth materials.
• Zonal control boards are used to manage MDR. It accepts signals from sensors and routes them to higher-level controllers or PLCs.
• The roller frame can be steel or aluminum in any shape, such as curved or inclined.;
• A single power unit supplied low-voltage power (24V).
• The load capacity should be 35-75 kg per roller.
• Roller diameters range from 1.9" to 2.5".
• Roller pitch: 75mm to 150mm.
• Drive zone length: 500mm to 1500mm.

Flexible roller conveyors

Flexible roller conveyors are simple to use, portable, expandable, and multifunctional material handling systems. These conveyors allow for the smooth and effective movement or transfer of heavy cargo. The rollers in this system can move freely and adapt to various layouts and requirements. These can be customized in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Flexible Roller Conveyor

It is dependent on either hand pushing or gravity. It is simple to use manpower to quickly load and unload logistics from one location to another. It's useful for truck loading and unloading.;

• The length of the conveyor frame varies, largely depending on the module. Individual modules can be 1.5 meters long and stretched to 20 meters or more.
• The conveyor frame width varies from 500mm to 700mm.   
• Speed up to 30 meters per minute or somewhat higher.
