Flexible Roller Conveyor

A flexible roller conveyor is an effective solution to store and handle heavy goods, materials, and other items. These extraordinary quality, flexible conveyors are capable of withstanding the worst conditions without breaking down. They can be manufactured from a variety of materials such as aluminum, steel, fiberglass, and concrete. These systems effectively improve the functionality and efficiency of the various operations in industries such as mining, food processing, automotive, and chemical processing.

These systems, even though having excellent characteristic provide effective solutions to several problems involved in handling heavy goods, materials, and so on. These systems are generally manufactured by using high-quality metals or high-density plastics. The flexible roller conveyors can be manufactured according to your specifications. Some conveyors have the added advantage of having the smooth running belt. These systems are available in different forms such as direct pull, gravity flow, wire frame, and flexible linear expansion, rollers, non-roll conveyors, and sliders.

In addition to the above features, the most beneficial feature of a flexible conveyor is that it is capable of providing economical operation. With this equipment, the transport and storage of heavier products can be achieved. They also have the capability of being used both in mobile and in fixed configurations. As a result, the need to install separate machines for storing different kinds of goods becomes irrelevant. The flexible roller conveyor completely eliminates the need to store these kinds of goods in separate rooms. The flexible conveyors save a lot of space especially in the case of large operations.

These systems are widely used in the mining industry to transport heavy ore from one area to another area. The conveyor belts and the conveyors, rollers combine to provide easy access and exit to workers, taking away the risk of falling or tripping on the ground. It helps in the efficient and smooth transport of ore and other minerals. In addition to the above mentioned benefits, the manufacturers of these types of systems claim that they have reduced the amount of manpower needed to operate these types of equipment. The use of the flexible roller conveyor reduces the energy required to operate the equipment and in turn help in conserving natural resources and minimizing the cost of operation and maintenance.

Most of the people purchase these kinds of equipment because they are flexible and easy to handle. The manufacturers of these kinds of systems claim that most of the problems encountered in the past with regard to the operation and performance of conveyors were attributed to the width of the conveyor. The problems that have been faced have been addressed by the manufacturers and now the systems use pre-cut and pre-drilled mandrels which allow the width of the conveyor to be adjusted according to the manufacturer's specifications. Thus, if you are looking for a flexible roller conveyor and do not have a lot of money to spare, then you can go for the zinc-coated steel type as it is cheaper.

A very important feature of these conveyors is that they are designed to be flexible at all times. Most of these roller types are manufactured with aluminum, copper, brass or zinc-plated aluminum etc. This allows the conveyor to be versatile and at the same time it can also be flexible when the need arises. In other words, they can be used either in a rigid mode, when they are used for flooring or walls, or in a soft mode, when they are used for pallets or pallet lines.
