What is a Roller Conveyor?

A roller conveyor is a type of material handling equipment that uses a series of rollers mounted within a rigid frame to move items efficiently from one point to another. In practice, roller conveyors can be either unpowered, commonly known as gravity conveyors, or powered, also referred to as driven conveyors.

Typically, these systems are used across warehouses, production lines, e-commerce setups, assembly areas, and distribution centres. As a result, goods can be transported quickly and safely, while at the same time significantly reducing the need for manual handling from employees and other users. Furthermore, roller conveyors are highly valued for their versatility and durability, as they are capable of handling everything from lightweight cartons to heavy industrial loads.

In addition to this, here at SPG Conveyor Systems, we manufacture two main options to suit different operational requirements for customers. Firstly, our standard-built, in-stock roller conveyors are ideal for general handling applications, offering quick installation and fast delivery. Alternatively, our custom-built roller conveyors are designed to meet your exact dimensions, load capacities, and workflow requirements, ensuring a precise fit within your process and long term use.

Ultimately, whether you require an unpowered conveyor for simple, low-cost movement or a driven conveyor for powered and controlled transport, we can design, engineer and build a solution that is perfectly suited to your workspace and production environment.

How do Roller Conveyors Work?

To begin with, items and products are placed onto a series of rollers, which can be one of two main types of roller conveyors, either powered rollers or unpowered rollers, depending on the application and your requirements. In powered roller conveyors, motors are used to move items and products automatically along the conveyor line. As a result, products can be transported efficiently with minimal manual handling by users and employees.

In contrast, gravity roller conveyors rely on a slight incline and the natural momentum of the load. Instead of using motors for power, items will move forward using gravity or a gentle manual push from users. Consequently, this makes gravity systems a simple and cost-effective solution for lighter loads and straightforward workflows.

Overall, both powered and gravity roller conveyors will significantly improve any operational efficiency. More importantly, they enhance workplace safety and greatly increase speed within material handling environments.
