Of all the powered roller conveyors,
this is the most economical. It operates via a single
rotating shaft mounted within the conveyor body and
which in turn rotates each roller by specially designed
belts connecting the rollers to the shaft.
This simple conveyor style enables the system to include
straight runs sections, curves, half curves, junctions
and transfers to be configured using a minimal amount
of drive motors.
Many complex systems can be configured using this conveyor
style.
It is suited to warehouse or manufacturing applications
where lighter weight cartons, tote bins and other products
need to be moved, allowing for a variety of situations
requiring directional changes. Limited minimal pressure
accumulation of product can be obtained with this style
of drive method.
For specialized applications consultation is recommended.
