Gravity roller skate-wheel conveyor systems do not need as much pitch to transport your products in a decline. You can easily move empty boxes and light loads on your skate-wheel conveyor. It doesn’t need as much force to initiate movement of several wheels than in a regular gravity roller. Products that are being moved keep their orientation. Even when your products go around curves, they will maintain their orientations.
Skate-wheel conveyor wheels do not need as much energy to turn, which helps to keep up speed when moving a conveyed product. Since the wheels turn independently of each other, the skate-wheel conveyor is a great choice for your conveyor line’s curves.
Below are a few of the many benefits of Gravity Roller and Skate Wheel Conveyors:
- The most economical type of conveyor
- the load can be wider than your conveyor if centered correctly
- Require less pitch to convey the product
- Lightweight loads and empty cartons move easily on the skatewheel conveyor
- As the load negotiates curves the skatewheels provide this differential action
- Less energy is needed to turn the wheels and that makes skatewheel good at maintaining speed
- Easy to install, and only require basic maintenance
- They can be used in a variety of environments and fit into even awkwardly shaped rooms
- Gravity conveyors are easy to fit into a powered conveyor system
- Can be modified with curved roller units, spurs and personnel gates
