Roller conveyors
Roller conveyors are designed for transporting piece products, boxes and pallets. They can also be used as accumulation section, curve or right angle conveyor.
Powered conveyors
Conveyor with the electric rollers is very quiet and safe, with lower energy consumption, flexible and modular, allowing a wide range of applications. We use electric rollers from the industry leader, the Japanese manufacturer ITOH DENKI, powered by 24V DC. These rollers can be controlled without a PLC using an external control board, have a low build height, easily adjustable speed and are also suitable for very demanding operation, as they allow up to 1,800 starts per hour.
Electric rolllers applications
Unpowered conveyors
The movement of non-powered roller conveyors is provided by the inclination of the conveyor (gravity force), handling technology or manual displacement. They are used for the transport of plate material, in package handling or as buffer transport of product.
Another type are pallet tracks for transporting wooden, plastic and metal pallets. Handling equipment (for example a forklift truck when stacking pallets on the track in a FIFO system) or manual drive is used as a drive.
