Lineshaft Roller Conveyor Features

Powered rollers with accumulation facilities

Lineshaft conveyors are commonly used in warehouse application to transport normally flat boxes. At automation supplies we offer lineshaft conveyors in steel, stainless steel and aluminium versions. Both the steel and aluminium versions are suitable for general box handling whereas the stainless steel lineshaft conveyors are sold mainly into the food manufacturing industry.

Roller diameters range from 35mm to 50mm in steel or stainless steel. Conveyorwidths range from around 300mm to just over a metre as standard

The nominal length for a standard lineshaft conveyor module is 3 metres. The modules are easily connected and the drive shaft is connected from one module to the next using a simple clutch.
