Roller Conveyor System Design

Roller conveyor system design.

These roller conveyors are created using lasers and band saws. Whether you are tasked with finding replacement rollers designing a system from scratch for a new space or attempting to reconfigure an existing conveyor system to improve efficiency you should familiarize yourself with the alternatives available in roller design. Ball bearings for conveyor rollers replace worn and damaged bearings or press fit bearings into tubing or pipe to create a roller. The biggest innovation is the drive or live roller conveyor where each roller is connected to a motor via a belt chain shaft to increase controllability.

The rollers provide a stable surface for moving loads with rimmed or uneven bottoms such as drums pails pallets skids. Gravity roller conveyor is a non powered solution that is an economical durable and safe option to move light to medium loads. Also known as pallet brakes these mount underneath rollers on a gravity conveyor and create friction on the rollers to control the conveyor s speed. The aim of this project is to redesign existing gravity roller conveyor system by designing the critical parts roller shaft bearing frame to minimize the overall weight of the assembly and to save considerable amount of material.

Internal transport according to a modular design. Easy to install and relocate. While there are many different kinds of conveyor systems they usually consist of a frame that supports either rollers wheels or a belt upon which materials move from one place to another. A version in freewheel or electrically controlled roller conveyor gives you flexibility in layout application and budget.

Even the most basic factory machinery needs to be made somewhere. Since the design of these conveyors is simplistic many advancements have been made to allow roller conveyors to keep up with industry trends. Can be installed on an incline or in a straight line in a shipping or assembly. These unpowered gravity flow conveyors use a downward slope or a manual push to move loads down the line.

This equalizes the rate with which materials. Roller conveyors consist of rollers that are mounted on a series of axles attached to rigid or telescoping frames.
