Gravity Conveyors
And Systems

Gravity
conveyor specifications
Gravity roller
conveyors are the most basic, lowest cost conveyor option
available.
Without a
motor, the rollers run freely and the conveyor transports
products that are either pushed or move by gravity because
the roller conveyor is on an incline.
No power is
required. Full or part width roller and skate wheel
options.
Steel or plastic rollers can be
set at a pitch to suit your loading requirements.
Common roller diameters
available:
Steel: 35, 50, &
60mm.
Plastic: 40 &
50mm.
Roller pitch: 37.5, 75, 112.5
& 150mm depending on the loading on the rollers.
Frame widths: Standards range
from 150mm to 1,500mm.
Lift up gates, and bends
available.
Construction materials (frame):
Mild steel, aluminium, stainless steel options.
A wide range of roller
diameters are available depending on the product being
conveyed. Standard is usually 40 to 50mm dia.
For special
applications where small parts are being conveyed, or where the
product being conveyed warrants it, the roller size and the
pitch can be greatly reduced to offer an almost flat conveying
area.
You can also
stretch the roller spacing or "Pitch" for larger products,
thereby reducing the amount of rollers in contact with the
product and thereby also reducing the price. Caution is needed
however because the weight capacity of the rollers needs to be
taken into account.
The stand systems
for these conveyors are usually adjustable in height so that in
some cases an incline can assist the smooth movement of the
product on the conveyor.
Steel,
galvanised steel, stainless steel aluminium and plastic rollers
available depending on application. A wide range of width and
length options are possible dependent on product being
conveyed.
