GRAVITY CONVEYOR ROLLERS

Unit handling through gravity conveyor rollers

Gravity conveyor rollers are modular components specifically designed for the construction and functioning of the so-called idle roller conveyors. Rollers, running on a specific carrying structure, are designed to handle packages and unit items by means of natural thrust or gravity, rather than power sources. Therefore, system slope is an essential requirement for gravity conveyor rollers to move and start the transportation of materials, even after pauses or accumulations and in presence of additional friction forces. Of course, inclination must be calculated in relation to other elements, including rollers and items weight ratio, contact surface and friction values and design criteria, to avoid risks of damage or downtime.

Of course, as main benefit, gravity conveyor rollers entail easy installation, energy saving and low purchasing and maintenance costs, due to unnecessary drive unit. However, they also feature great application adaptability, allowing their use in multiple fields: airports, distribution centers and warehousing, manufacturing and packaging facilities, food and beverage industry. Rulmeca proves such flexibility producing a wide and varied range of configurations.

Rulmeca combines its technical know-how with the selection of premium quality materials, such as steel and polymers. That’s how our company designs and manufactures gravity conveyor rollers for light, medium and heavy loads and any internal and external environment, including dusty, humid and corrosive ones. Moreover, besides standard shaped rollers, Rulmeca provides special tapered gravity conveyor rollers. It’s therefore possible for industries to optimize their workspace and productivity setting straight and curve sections, as well as spur or curve merging sections.
