The selection of roller belt conveyor is also worth paying attention to. Many manufacturers still have many problems in selecting roller conveyor, which will lead to many problems and affect production efficiency. What is more serious is that it causes the whole conveying system to stop production, resulting in significant losses.

So, how should we choose the roller conveyor? Roller conveyors are used in many industries, but it is more professional for different industries to choose roller conveyors. The material requirements of the fuselage in different industries are closely related to the wall thickness and diameter of the roller.

What is roller belt conveyor?

The roller belt conveyor is applicable to the transportation of various boxes, bags, pallets and other pieces of goods. Bulk materials, small items or irregular items need to be placed on the pallet or transported in the turnover box.

It can transport materials with large single weight, or bear large impact loads. The roller lines are easy to connect and filter. A complex logistics conveying system can be composed of multiple roller lines and other conveyors or special machines to meet various process needs.

The stacking roller can be used to realize the stacking and conveying of materials. The roller belt conveyor has simple structure, high reliability and convenient use and maintenance.

What factors need to be considered when selecting roller conveyors?

The following aspects need to be considered in the selection of roller conveyor to help you choose a more appropriate one.

Determine the model and material:

Different materials and models of rollers shall be selected according to the load capacity. Generally, the height of the top surface of the conveyor roller is slightly lower than the height of the side surface of the machine body.

Users with special requirements can consider that the height of the side surface of the machine body is higher than the height of the top surface of the roller or the height is the same. Side baffles, fenders and guardrails can be set as required.

 The food industry should give priority to all stainless steel body and stainless steel roller.

Roller selection:

  • Selection of roller length: For goods with different widths, the roller with appropriate width shall be selected. Generally, “Conveyed goods+50mm” shall be adopted.
  • Selection of roller wall thickness and shaft diameter: evenly distribute the weight of the conveying material to the contacted roller, calculate the required bearing of each roller, and then determine the roller wall thickness and shaft diameter. The wall thickness of the roller is very important.
  • roller material and surface treatment: determine the material and surface treatment of the roller according to the different transportation environments.
  • Selection of roller installation mode: according to the specific requirements of the overall conveyor, select the roller installation mode: spring pressed type, internal tooth shaft type, full tenon type, through shaft pin hole type, etc.

Motor selection:

The motor is the source of power. If the size of the motor does not match, the roller conveyor cannot drive the whole roller conveyor line. Therefore, we should adopt the principle of Daniel pulling the trolley, so that the motor power does not run with overload.

Requirements for airframe:

  • Considering the maximum weight of the conveyor, select a suitable conveyor frame.
  • Frame size: different frames apply different products, determine the maximum size of the product, and select the appropriate drum size and frame width
  • Cross section size: Fix the roller or wheel together, and determine the location (closer or farther) of the roller and roller according to the size of the product. There are at least three rollers under the product.
  • Load demand: Because the rollers have larger surface area, they can better move different objects, and different rollers have different bearing capacities.
  • For heavy load operation requirements, we need to consider the thickness of the body metal. For heavy load, we need to use channel steel or thickened carbon steel or thickened 304 stainless steel.

Safety requirements:

Safety is the most important thing in everyone’s mind, which requires pre job training, and requires that all areas with hidden dangers of the roller conveyor be sealed.

Select a suitable roller belt conveyor according to the above contents.
