Gravity Roller Conveyor

Non-Powered/Earth Gravity Conveyor

Non-powered, gravity conveyors are one of the most economical material handling solutions. Loads are conveyed on rollers or skatewheels which are mounted in frames. Typically gravity conveyors are sloped in elevation to allow products to flow freely, taking advantage of the Earth’s gravity. Thus the label – gravity conveyor. Gravity conveyors may be used to move boxes, cartons and totes with firm, rigid bottoms. Roller or skate wheel sizes as well as spacing will vary. A good rule of thumb is that a minimum of three rollers must be under the box, carton or tote at all times.
