Learn MoreTypes of Traditional Roller Conveyor Systems
questions? contact usThe functions of traditional roller conveyors extend well beyond simple material transport—they also manage speed, accumulation, and product stability. Customizable factors like roller spacing, drive mechanism, and load distribution contribute to efficient force transmission, which keeps items moving consistently with less strain on individual rollers.
Gravity Roller Conveyors
Gravity roller conveyors are nonpowered systems that move materials over rollers using either the force of gravity or manual effort. These systems are useful for transporting products short to medium distances in fulfillment centers and manufacturing lines, and their mechanical simplicity makes them easy to integrate into dynamic environments with changing workflows and layouts. The primary benefits include:
- Low initial investment cost
- Minimal maintenance
- No external power is needed
- Adaptable modular design
Traditional gravity roller conveyors can also handle high-capacity loads with available rollers that can each support up to several hundred pounds.
Chain-Driven Live Roller Conveyors
Durable and reliable, chain-driven live roller conveyors use chains to connect the rollers to a motor. This mechanism directly transfers power to each roller and allows even force distribution to transport bulky and irregular high-capacity loads up to 3,000 lbs as fast as 60 ft/min.
CDLR conveyors are uniquely suited for industries such as automotive and appliance manufacturing due to the following characteristics:
- Exceptional load distribution
- Ability to handle impact loads
- Synchronized roller movement
We build all of our traditional CDLR conveyors to order, and models range from light- to extra-heavy-duty capacities.
Belt-Driven Live Roller Conveyors
Belt-driven live roller conveyors operate via a motorized belt that runs beneath and transmits motion to the rollers. Ideal for transporting boxes, cases, drums, and totes, we can configure BDLR conveyor systems for light- to heavy-duty applications like package handling and manufacturing.
We also design minimum and zero pressure accumulation BDLR conveyors, which temporarily hold products without physical contact via sensors and zone-based controls. These features stop rollers before they reach an occupied zone.
