A conveyor system is used to move materials from one place to the other. These systems are very convenient for transporting bulky objects. These machines are particularly useful for remodelling work where huge amounts of debris need to be removed from inside an existing structure.
A modular design of the conveyor line facilitates carriage of materials round corners and the length and position of the line can be adjusted according to the working area. Conveyors are a reliable, efficient and economical solution for movement of materials to and from a construction site.
The powered roller conveyors are very popular among the common conveyor variants, particularly in the warehousing and logistics industry. They are more robust and durable than belt conveyors and can carry the heaviest of loads. The rollers move on bearings and pre-lubricated bearings minimize maintenance cost to a great extent. Some manufacturers supply this type of low-maintenance bearings.
The rollers used in conveyors are made from mild steel, stainless steel, PVC or aluminum. The Food processing industry uses stainless steel or PVC rollers which are custom designed to spray water, thereby washing the materials being carried. Rollers used in conveyors are of various types:- Gravity rollers High speed or low noise rollers Grooved Rollers Corrosion resistant rollers Chain Driven rollers
There are three main kinds of roller conveyor systems used in the manufacturing and distributing applications and based on its application, the most suitable kind is chosen.
Gravity roller conveyors are non-powered and the rollers are supported on shafts by bearings. These shafts are made of formed or structural punched frames held together with either retaining pins or internal springs. Since the roller conveyor is driven by gravity, the product can be free-wheeled manually (horizontally) or the product can be allowed to fall over a certain distance with a slight decline.
Lineshaft roller conveyors have a single shaft that runs below the rollers for the length of the conveyor frame. A number of spools are on the shaft; one spool for each roller. Rubber o-rings run from spools on the powered shaft to each roller. As electric motor on the shaft is turned on, the rubber o-ring acts as a connecting link between the spool and the roller causing rotation. The rotating of the rollers facilitates the movement of the product along the conveyor.
In pallet roller conveyors sprockets are attached to the ends of thick walled rollers, which connect them to a motor and allow for rotational movement of the rollers. Driven by chain to chain or tangential, or one common chain, drive mechanism, pallet roller conveyors have a fully enclosed side frame and an external shaft mounted motor. Electronically switched "accumulation zones" are a specialty in this type of conveyor system. Additionally different sections of the conveyor can effectively run at different speeds and can run independently of one another.
