Rollers

A minimum of three rollers are required under the load at all times, products with uneven bases

require more.

Ideal roller length is - load width + 50mm. This is a critical minimum with some types of plastic

crates, but is of lesser importance with flat bottomed cartons.

Pallets usually flex under load causing only 1/3 of the rollers to carry the load, always allow for this.

Tapered rollers guarantee correct movement on bends.

Precision bearing rollers run smoothly at higher speeds for long periods but can have a greater

resistance for manual movement.

Advantages of Plastic Rollers

· Light weight

· Noise dampening

· Resistance to corrosion

· Cleanliness

Temperature range of all our standard plastics is 5°C to 40°C, although they can be used down to

-20°C with lowered impact resistance, or up to 60°C with reduced load.

Dynopipe is extra special high impact resistant PVC.

Shafts

Spring loaded shafts are the simplest design, giving quick and easy assembly and maintenance.

Male and female threaded shafts give higher load capacity and reduced vibration as they are

secured direct to the conveyor frame. Female threads have the advantage of very simple assembly.

Spring loaded shafts are standard on most rollers.

Female threads are most common on driven rollers.

Large diameter rollers often have a fixed shaft.

Many other options are available to special order.
