Conveyor belts

Gravity-fed or powered

Conveyor rollers are commonly used in horticulture, distribution centres and factories. A distinction can be made between two types of conveyor rollers:

• Gravity roller conveyors
• Powered roller conveyors

The non-powered (gravity) roller conveyor is mainly used at the end of a production line. By positioning the conveyor at a specific angle, the product will always roll to the lowest point. Here, the product can be buffered, allowing staff to carry out tasks on the product, for example.

Gravity roller conveyors can be manufactured from stainless steel, aluminium or steel. These roller conveyors can be produced in various widths and lengths.

Powered roller conveyors are often used to transport unit loads, such as crates, boxes or pallets. As the name suggests, this type of roller conveyor is powered. By threading loops of, for example, round straps or chains through the rollers, all the rollers in a conveyor can be driven by a motor.

Powered roller conveyors can be manufactured from stainless steel, aluminium or steel. These roller conveyors can be manufactured in various widths and lengths.
