Roller conveyor
The basic line for cartons and totes, with optional zero-pressure accumulation on motorised rollers; modular sections.
The basic line for cartons and totes, with optional zero-pressure accumulation on motorised rollers; modular sections.
Roller conveyors move cartons and totes horizontally between stations. With 24 V or 48 V motorised-roller zones, each zone starts and stops on its own, so cases accumulate without pressing against each other: the usual arrangement ahead of a sorter, feeding pick stations or buffering outbound lanes. Straight, curve, merge and divert sections come in standard lengths; on site they are positioned, levelled, wired and commissioned zone by zone.
Typical uses
- Induction and outbound lines in e-commerce and parcel hubs
- Finished-goods cartons from production to warehouse
- Tote loops between pick stations
- Accumulation and gapping ahead of a sorter
