What is a roller pitch?
A roller pitch is the distance from the centre of a roller to the centre of the next roller.
What roller pitch do I require?
As a general rule, the base of the box should always cover 3 rollers. For example, a 300mm long product would require a minimum pitch of 100mm (300mm ÷ 3 rollers = 100mm).
What are the advantages of PVC conveyor roller?
Our PVC roller is a free-running, low inertia roller, so is perfect for lightweight products. It is also a more cost-effective conveyor compared to the steel roller
What are the advantages of a steel roller conveyor?
Steels roller are perfect for heavier products as the tube and bearings have a higher capacity rating.
Can you manufacture to suit any length of the conveyor?
Yes, we can manufacture to suit your requirements. However, a length is always divisible by the pitch. For example, a request for 10,000mm at 75mm pitch would be manufactured at 9,975mm long (usually supplied in 3x 3,000mm & 1x 975mm sections)
What are the advantages of skate wheel conveyors?
Skate wheels are extremely free running, so light product can convey with the conveyor set at a small angle. They are also fantastic at tracking product around bends. Another benefit is you can put products side by side & they will run independently. Useful Tip – Flat based products are required when using a skate wheel conveyor.
What slope should I set the gravity conveyor?
The angle a gravity conveyor is set at depends on the number of factors. Three main considerations are the weight of the product, the base of the product and the speed you wish the product to travel. These factors contribute massively to the slope that is should be set at.
We can manufacture bespoke conveyors to suit your requirements.
