When it comes to effective material handling, roller conveyors are one of the most prominent choices. With the ability to handle higher loads, roller conveyors can be further differentiated between conventional and live roller conveyors. Speaking of the latter, roller conveyors with accumulation features are best suited for safe and effective transportation. In this blog, two prominent types of accumulation roller conveyors, namely the ABEZ and E24EZ will be compared.
Difference Between ABEZ And E24EZ Conveyors
The ABEZ Live Roller Conveyor
Features:
- A centralized drive system
- A single, powerful motor handles the operation. It can handle up to 300 feet of conveyor
- Perfect for high-speed applications
The E24EZ Live Roller Conveyor
Features:
- Uses multiple 24-volt DC motors to power the conveyor
- Easy to install and maintain
- Easily maneuverable
- Ideal for applications wherein quiet operation is preferred
The Difference Between ABEZ And E24EZ
The most fundamental difference between these two types of roller conveyors is the power source. In the case of the ABEZ roller conveyor, the power source is centralized with a single powerful motor that can handle up to 300 feet of conveyor length. On the other hand, when it comes to the E24EZ roller conveyor, the power source is a series of pancake motors that are responsible for handling only a particular zone or area of the conveyor.
This dispersed power distribution offers more flexibility during installation, especially as to where turns are placed. Furthermore, it also facilitates quiet operation.
Therefore, the difference lies primarily in the preferences of the manufacturer. If the manufacturer prefers power, then ABEZ is the right choice. If maneuverability and quiet operation are key, then the E24EZ conveyor is more suitable.
