Roller conveyor

The conveyed goods are guided over fixed, horizontally mounted and rotating rollers. In contrast to chain conveyors, there is a relative movement between the load and the carrier. The carrying equipment (pallets, containers, etc.) must therefore meet certain mechanical requirements on the underside in order to largely avoid transport disruptions. The movement of the goods is realized manually, in the case of inclined R. by means of gravity or motor-driven by various forms of drive.
