Rulmeca operates a Service centre fully dedicated to the repair and assembly of Motorized Pulleys
The Rulmeca 111 series rollers combine carefully engineered components to deliver exceptional lightness, smooth rotation, and quiet operation. Designed for lightweight unit handling on gravity conveyors, these rollers offer reliable performance across a wide range of industrial applications. Their optimized design allows gravity conveyors to operate effectively even at very low slopes, including with light loads. Thanks to their resistance to wear, moisture, abrasion and corrosion, these rollers are ideal for both standard industrial environments and for corrosive and humid conditions, such as those found in food packaging processes, serving as food conveyor rollers.
The most common configuration includes a special shockproof and sound-absorbing PVC tube that ensures quiet and reliable operation. The steel shaft features a standard spring-loaded design, simplifying installation during conveyor assembly. The polymer heads, equipped with full ball bearings and an integrated labyrinth seal, work together with lubrication to provide excellent protection against contaminants, making this series particularly suitable for use as food conveyor rollers.
Each component of the 111 Series has been chosen to ensure optimal performance and durability under a variety of operating conditions. The combination of plastics and metals provides an excellent balance between strength and lightness, reducing overall conveyor energy consumption. This synergy allows the rollers to maintain smooth operation, even in environments subject to vibration, humidity, or frequent cleaning cycles.
Regarding operating conditions, these rollers are suitable for use across a wide temperature range—from –5°C to +50°C for versions with a PVC tube and –5°C to +80°C for those with a steel tube. Lower minimum temperatures generally do not present issues; however, operation outside the specified ranges requires a review of the application and, if necessary, a custom configuration. It is also recommended to verify all operating conditions prior to installation.
When specifying the order code, please indicate the following: type of roller, shaft diameter and execution, tube diameter and execution, "C" dimension.
The materials that compose the 111 series are:

Plus
The 111 conveyor rolles are manufactured using a specific combination of plastic materials, resulting in a product extremely lightweight, flexible, and quiet during operation. This design makes them ideal for gravity conveyors handling light loads while ensuring smooth and silent movement.
Steel and PVC are the primary materials used in the construction of the 111 series. Thanks to their elastic properties, they represent the ideal solution for applications where the product is subjected to pressure. To ensure both lightness and heat resistance, the roller heads are covered with polypropylene and polyoxymethylene, delivering optimal performance even in demanding operating conditions.
Thanks to the stainless steel version - AISI 304 tube and shaft - the 111 rollers can be used as certified food conveyor rollers across all sectors involving that handle food products. Conveyor systems in the food and beverage industry must comply with strict hygiene standards to prevent the risk of cross contamination. Rulmeca 111 series meets all the requirements of a perfect food conveyor roller: its smooth stainless-steel surface reduces the risk of corrosion and allows for effective cleaning, easily withstanding regular washing and disinfection of equipment.
