Description
Toshine Gravity Roller Conveyors
Gravity roller conveyor is a common material conveying equipment, suitable for material conveying in various industries. Meanwhile, it uses the roller as the driving device, uses the gravity of the material. And transfers the material from one location to another with the assistance of the roller.
Application field of gravity roller conveyor
1. Application Scenario of Gravity Roller Conveyor
Gravity roller conveyor is a mechanical principle based on deadweight, which realizes material conveying through natural downhill. It does not require external power drive and has the advantages of simplicity, energy saving and reliability. Therefore, people use it widely in the following scenarios:
- Warehousing and logistics field: used in large warehouses, logistics centers, container yards and other logistics facilities. That can realize fast and efficient cargo sorting and transportation.
- Manufacturing field: used for carrying, transportation, transfer and other processes on the production line. And that can realize automated production and material transportation.
- Waste recycling field: used for waste sorting, recycling, processing and other processes. And it can realize a certain degree of automated operation.
2. Advantages of Gravity Roller Conveyor
Compared with traditional mechanical conveying methods, gravity roller conveyor has the following advantages:
- Energy saving and environmental protection: no external energy consumption is required, reducing environmental pollution and energy consumption.
- Low maintenance cost: The roller conveyor has a simple structure and low maintenance cost.
- Space saving: no motor and other equipment are required, and the floor space is small.
- High safety: It has overload self-protection function, simple operation, and high reliability.
In short, gravity roller conveyor is a convenient, efficient and environmentally friendly conveying equipment. So it is suitable for multiple industries. Therefore, it plays an important role in logistics, manufacturing and other fields.
How to Select the Rollers?
When selecting the rollers for your aluminum profile roller conveyor, it’s important to consider several factors to ensure optimal performance and efficiency of the conveyor system.
Firstly, consider the material of the roller drum. Depending on your specific requirements, you can choose from various materials such as carbon steel (galvanized, chrome-plated, nickel-plated), cast rubber, stainless steel, or steel plastic steel. In industries like food processing, stainless steel rollers are ideal for hygiene and durability.
Next, think about the surface treatment of the roller body. People can treat carbon steel rollers with options like spraying or plastic spraying. While stainless steel rollers can be polished to a mirror finish or treated with matte, sandblasting, or brushing.
Others You Need Notice
If speed control is necessary, opt for variable frequency speed regulation or a stepless speed reduction motor to meet your operational needs.
The diameter of the roller is crucial as it not only impacts conveyor performance but also influences its longevity. Therefore, choosing the right drum diameter can enhance conveying efficiency.
When it comes to roller width and spacing, match the roller width to the outer dimensions of the objects to prevent contact with the frame. The spacing between rollers should be based on the length and weight of the objects to ensure adequate support.
For gravity conveyors using unpowered rollers, determining the self-propelled slope is essential. People should adjust the slope according to the condition, material, and weight of the objects. It’s recommended to conduct tests to determine the optimal slope.
Lastly, notice any special needs for the conveyor system. The height of the gravity roller conveyor roller’s top surface should be lower than the side height of the frame. If any need, adjust the side height of the frame to align with the roller height. Additional features like side baffles, guards, or guardrails, we can add based on specific operational needs.
