Gravity roller conveyors

Gravity roller conveyors

Also known as non-powered roller conveyors, gravity designs are one of the most commonly used conveyor designs. Their low-energy cost and simple design ensures they are necessities in electronic, automotive, packaging, bottling, and even chemical industries. There are three types of gravity roller conveyors:

Straight: Used for quick transport in a single line, like getting inventory off a delivery truck.

Curved: These keep production moving around permanent structures in a factory, warehouse, etc. Introducing a curved conveyor system is proven to help companies distribute and receive shipments more efficiently despite obstacles.

Roller spur: These systems merge and/or diverge objects from the main convey line. If a facility has several locations (like workstations) this system is perfect.
