Conveyor Rollers
Conveyor rollers are long, cylindrical tubes that are used to support conveyor belts. Roller conveyors use round rotating parts, called rollers, to transport material through a conveying system.
Conveyor belts are used in packaging operations to transport goods between different components of the process. A series of rollers are joined together into a roller bed in some designs to transport individual products, pallets, and boxes to the place where they are loaded or stored.
Conveyor rollers are manufactured from an assortment of different rubber materials and are available in various sizes and durability levels. The roller shape can be straight, tapered, or crowned. Conveyor rollers are used in the conveyor systems in many industries, including food processing, assembly, packaging, inspection, and transportation.
