The roller conveyor has the outstanding advantages of low investment, operating, and maintenance costs, easy mobility with a simple, modular, and compact design, easy storage, and the ability to cut, extend, and connect segments based on each company’s needs. This is the optimal solution for flat terrain, narrow space, or frequent movement from one place to another, minimizing the installation area for conveyor systems.
Although the roller conveyor has a simple structure, it can achieve high durability through selecting the right design and materials. The main differences in roller quality among manufacturers depend on the bearing type and the use of either a full-length shaft or welded shafts at both ends, which results in significant differences in costs. Factors such as concentricity, ease of rotation, and roller wall thickness are the basic indicators of roller quality. The structure of a roller conveyor includes a frame, support system, side guards to prevent products from falling, and most importantly, the rollers themselves. Therefore, quality is always prioritized to ensure that rollers are durable and effective. Depending on the requirements and environment, rollers may be made of stainless steel, galvanized steel, or other materials. The quality of steel tubes, whether welded or cast, affects roller quality in terms of vibration, concentricity, and noise standards.
The roller shaft ends can be beveled, grooved, threaded, or run with a tapped hole, depending on the purpose and application to attach to the conveyor frame. The roller tube is machined to ensure precise concentricity. Bearing protection seals are designed to ensure that rollers have a long service life, operating in humid environments or areas prone to corrosion and rust. The bearings used are genuine, ensuring durability and load capacity as calculated by the machine manufacturers. However, counterfeit and fake bearings present a major issue in the market today, as bearing quality constitutes up to 40% of the conveyor system’s quality.
