Roller conveyors play a key role in regular transportation and material handling. A staple in warehouses and packaging facilities, a roller conveyor is characterized by its low friction operation, ability to handle heavy loads, and seamless operation. However, the exact configurations of a roller conveyor will vary significantly according to application. Keeping this in mind, Norpak Handling, manufacturers and suppliers of material handling solutions in Port Hope unveil 5 varieties/models that fit this category.
Types Of Live Roller Conveyors
NSP
This is a line shaft-driven, medium-duty roller conveyor that uses spools and drive bands during operation. It can also accumulate products with some degree of back pressure.
E24
These are 24-volt roller conveyors featuring pancake motors and drive bands. These features eliminate the need for line shafts, belts and chains. These conveyors can also be extensively customized.
ACC
The ACC variations of roller conveyors feature a V belt design. The V belt is powered by tread rollers that help them rotate. This design enables these conveyors to occupy less space than flat belt conveyors with rollers beneath them. Moreover, they also allow accumulation with a minimum of 2 percent back pressure.
ABLR and NBLR
These are typically belt conveyors with tread rollers beneath them that help power them appropriately. Used primarily where traction is required, they can handle quite heavy loads and pallets. The only difference between ABLR and NBLR is that the latter uses a narrower belt.
CRR
The CRR variation is a combination of a drive chain and conveyor rollers instead of a belt. The drive chains are connected to sprockets that are welded to each roller. Made for handling heavy loads, the use of chains makes them suitable for oily work environments where other variations might slip.
