Gravity Roller Conveyors
These are the most economical of all conveyor styles that utilize free running static rollers of steel or plastic materials, mounted into a simple steel frame.
It can be used as a horizontal section in manufacturing or marshalling operations or can be installed with a “Slope” so that the decline angle makes use of free gravity forces to allow products to move unassisted due to the gravitational pull.
This style of conveyor is suited to any product with a flat base such as a carton, drum or plastic tote bin.
Gravity Conveyor Advantages: -
- Standard lengths and widths available ex stock. A range of support stands also available.
- Steel or PVC rollers as well as sanitary versions in Polypropylene and Stainless steel.
