Two versions of the roller conveyor

Perhaps the best-known system among transport solutions is the roller conveyor. You have a choice of two types: with or without a drive system. In the latter case, the conveyor operates on the basis of the force of gravity. A slight gradient of just a few centimetres and flexible rollers ensure that the product is moved from A to B.

End point or cross over

A roller conveyor is basically a simple transport solution, which is often used as the end point of a line. Of course, the system can also be used as a cross over in your transport solution. For instance, our pushers can swiftly and smoothly dispatch your products onto the roller conveyor. Our other components also connect seamlessly to the roller conveyor.

Product types

Use the roller conveyor to transport products with a flat and stable surface. These includes crates, boxes and packages. The roller conveyor can also handle pallets and other heavier products and units of lading. It is therefore an ideal appliance for numerous businesses.

Galvanized steel, stainless steel or PVC

The system can be used in all sectors of industry. If you operate in a humid or hygienic environment in the pharmaceutical sector, then you should opt for stainless steel. However, we also supply the roller conveyor in PVC and galvanized steel, which are more suitable for the logistics sector. This enables us to invariably devise a solution that is perfectly suited to your business.

Low maintenance

A roller conveyor without a drive system will last for many years. After all, it does not comprise complex mechanical systems that require regular maintenance, while the sturdy rollers are also highly durable. This makes it an excellent low-cost conveyor system in areas where workflows are relatively simple. Does a component nevertheless need to be repaired or replaced? We can supply the new parts and a service mechanic if required.

Maintenance of roller conveyors with drive systems

If you opt for a roller conveyor with a drive system, then bear in mind that it will require more maintenance. This is due to the fact that such systems do not exceed five metres in length. You therefore need to fit several drive units to cover longer distances. You can conveniently resolve this problem by opting for one of our conveyors. These systems can run up to thirty metres on a single motor. Discover the possibilities available.

A conveyor may prove a less expensive solution for you, which is also quieter and less sensitive to maintenance than a roller conveyor system. Discover the best transport solution for your business.

Our approach

A company operating in the tobacco industry is bound to have different requirements to one in the food sector. Even businesses in the same sector face their own particular challenges and issues in terms of their internal transport. That is why we first chart your organisation. We need to know the dimensions and weight of your products, as well as the environment in which you operate. We then use this information to devise a solution tailored to your particular needs.

A roller conveyor is not a stand-alone unit. You therefore also require side guides, stoppers and legs. We also discuss these components with you and offer expert advice.

Advisory role

We do not always abide by the maxim ‘you call the shots, and we deliver’. Let’s imagine you need the roller conveyor to transport one size of box, the dimensions of which you know will not change in the future. If the dimensions are large, then we would advise you to implement fewer rollers. This will yield cost savings. After all, we invariably seek the most favourable means of addressing the issues you face.

Installation

If you purchase a roller conveyor without a drive system from us, you can easily install it in the factory yourself. Of course, we can also take all the work involved off your hands. We would be pleased to visit you to install the roller conveyor. Would you prefer one with a drive system? In that case, it is more often the rule than the exception that we install the roller conveyor ourselves.

Changes in your business

Our roller conveyors connect seamlessly to our conveyors, even though they are not modular. This implies that, while you will enjoy the benefits of a quality system for many years to come, it is not capable of flexibly keeping pace with your company’s growth unfortunately. If you envisage that the added value of a conveyor belt that can expand along with your company may prove worthwhile, then we have many other modular solutions to offer.

Advantages of modular systems

A modular conveyor system can be effortlessly adapted to changes in your factory. This implies that you need not purchase completely new systems if, for example, the line has to be moved from the right to the left of the premises. In addition to achieving cost savings, you also contribute to a circular economy. After all, you can re-use your machinery. Our modular systems offer numerous advantages.

Cooperation with a partner

We adopt a transparent approach. Although our expertise extends to all types of conveyor solutions, we sometimes have to engage the services of a reliable partner to develop your roller conveyor. In that case, you are assured of the same high quality as you expect from us. You do not have to deal with another contact person either. We ensure that your system is perfectly installed in your factory, and we carry out any repairs that are required ourselves.

Complete conveyor system

You can also contact us if the roller conveyor is only a minor part of your transport requirements. After all, we supply complete systems to a broad range of industries. We devise the quickest, safest and most efficient solution on the basis of your particular wishes. These include smart sorting systems and compact chain conveyors for slender products. Please contact us to discuss the possibilities we can offer your company.
