What is a roller conveyor belt?

Roller conveyor belts are transport systems that use rollers, generally made of stainless steel, to efficiently move a wide variety of products. These rollers allow materials to move smoothly along the belt, facilitating industrial and logistical processes.

One standout feature is the option to manufacture these belts in a spiral shape, allowing you to maximize the available space. Additionally, they can incorporate wheels and curves to improve maneuverability, making them a highly flexible solution.

This type of belt is particularly useful for moving heavy products, such as boxes, sacks, and packages, making it ideal for industries handling large loads.

Roller Features

Los rodillos que conforman estas bandas transportadoras suelen tener diámetros que varían entre 1,5 y 1,9 pulgadas para aplicaciones estándar. Sin embargo, para tareas más exigentes, se pueden utilizar rodillos con diámetros de 2,5 a 3,5 pulgadas, proporcionando mayor resistencia y capacidad para soportar cargas más pesadas.

Types of Roller Conveyors

There are several types of roller conveyor belts, each designed to fulfill specific functions:

1. Gravity Roller Conveyor Belt:
   This type doesn't require a motor, as it uses an incline to move products using gravity. It's ideal for warehouses and distribution centers where simplicity and efficiency are key.
2. Motorized roller conveyor belt:
   Unlike gravity conveyors, this system uses an electric motor to drive the rollers. It’s useful in situations that require precise control of movement, adapting to circuit needs.
3. Banda transportadora de rodillos de eje lineal:
   This type of conveyor is driven by belts connected to a shaft, providing continuous and smooth movement of products.
4. Heavy Duty Roller Conveyor Belt:
   These belts are designed for larger loads and use rollers with a greater diameter (2.5 to 3.5 inches), offering a robust and efficient solution for transporting heavy products.

Uses of a Roller Conveyor Belt

These belts are widely used in various industrial applications, such as:

• Receiving, moving, and distributing merchandise.
• Connecting different areas of the facility.
• Transfer of empty containers to work stations.
• Applications in the packaging industry.
• Storing products.

Benefits of a Roller Conveyor Belt

Some of the main advantages of implementing a roller conveyor belt include:

• Lower energy consumption: Its design optimizes energy use, resulting in cost savings.
• Noise reduction: Well-designed systems are quiet, improving the work environment.
• Process optimization: They facilitate a continuous and efficient workflow.
• Greater efficiencyThe smooth movement of products boosts productivity.
• Easy installation and maintenance: Their design allows for quick installation and easy maintenance.
• Safe loading system: They ensure the stability of products during transport.
• High durability: Resistant materials ensure a long service life.
