They are a very popular solution in applications involving production lines, packaging, ecommerce fulfilment, and virtually any operation that requires displacement of objects. They can be installed almost anywhere and different types are available according to the needs of the operation.
Gravity conveyor is used to transport product on a level push line or a pitched gravity flow line.
Gravity conveyor consists of two types, “wheel” or “roller”. Wheel conveyor is constructed of a series of wheels mounted on a common axle supported in a channel frame. Roller conveyor is constructed of metal tubes with bearings in each end and mounted on an axle supported in a channel frame.
