Roller conveyors, or “rolgangs”, are conveyors consisting of fixed-mounted rolls through which the transporting object moves. Movement can be initiated by the force of a gravitation or an electric drive.
Gravity Roller Conveyors are used for conveying light products, mostly over short distances. This type of Conveyor does not have Drive Unit and products can be conveyed manually or by setting the conveyor at a gradient causing the product to roll down due to gravity.
Powered Roller Conveyors consist of sprocket thick-walled rollers, chain to chain or tangential chain mechanism, a fully enclosed side frame and an external shaft mounted motor. The main features are robustness and durability combined with the flexibility. The powered roller system can be used in two scenarios: firstly, the standard conveying of products, and; secondly the accumulation of products via the zero line pressure system, for use when it is undesirable for loads to be accumulating against one another.
GRAVITY ROLGANG
No drive for light products at shorter distances set at an angle to allow the load to move independently under the influence of gravity.
STRAIGHT RUNNING ROLGANG
Basis for transporting piece cargo. They have fixed rolls over which the object moves. They can have electric drive or be gravitational.
CURVE ROLGANG
They are used to change direction when transporting piece cargo. They are usually part of the entire transport line and are connected to other elements of the line.
REVERSIBLE ROLGANG
Movement in both directions depending on the needs of the technological process. They are used at relatively short distances for light and medium loads.
ACCUMULATION ROLGANG
They are used to connect one or more transport lines into one. Usually at shorter distances and lighter weights.
