Common questions
What products can a roller conveyor bed handle?
Roller conveyor beds handle a wide variety of products including boxes, cartons, totes, bags, pallets, bottles, cans, automotive parts, and small packages. The key is that products should have a flat bottom or be in cases/containers. Not suitable for items with irregular shapes that might get caught between rollers. Custom roller spacing can accommodate specific product dimensions.
How do I calculate the right conveyor speed for my operation?
Speed depends on your product type, desired throughput, and facility layout. General formula: Required speed (FPM) = Items per hour ÷ Spacing between items. Our technical team can assess your operation and recommend optimal speeds. Most customers find 60-120 FPM ideal for general purpose applications. Variable speed drives allow you to adjust as needs change.
What maintenance does a roller conveyor bed require?
Minimal maintenance is needed with our systems. Basic requirements include: monthly visual inspections, quarterly roller cleaning, annual bearing lubrication, and periodic belt/chain tension checks (if applicable). Most installations require less than 2 hours per year of maintenance time. We provide maintenance schedules and training with each system.
Can conveyor beds be inclined or declined?
Yes! Our roller conveyor beds can be configured for incline (uphill) or decline (downhill) operations at angles up to 45 degrees, depending on product weight and friction. Inclined beds use powered rollers to move products uphill, while declined beds can use gravity with controlled braking. We engineer the system based on your specific angle and load requirements.
How long do roller conveyor beds typically last?
With proper maintenance, our roller conveyor beds last 10-15+ years in continuous operation. The modular design means individual rollers or sections can be replaced as needed, extending overall system life. Quality ball bearings and premium materials ensure reliability in demanding environments. We offer spare parts availability and repair support to maximize equipment lifespan.
