Gravity Roller Conveyor

Conveyor Rollers

• Made from materials like steel, aluminum, or plastic, depending on the load requirements. Steel rollers are durable for heavy items, while plastic rollers suit lighter or delicate goods.
• Rollers are free-spinning, allowing items to move under gravity's pull.

Inclined Frame

• The frame is set at a slight downward angle (typically 1-5 degrees or 1 - 10 degrees) to facilitate movement. The incline can be adjustable in some designs to control speed.
• Constructed from sturdy materials like steel or aluminum to support the load.

Roller Spacing

Spacing between rollers is customized based on the size and weight of items to ensure smooth travel without tipping or jamming.

Side Guides or Rails

Optional guides keep items aligned and prevent them from sliding off the sides, especially on wider conveyors or with unstable loads.

Braking or Speed Control (Optional)

Some gravity roller conveyors include brakes, dampers, or speed controllers to slow down items, preventing damage or runaway loads on steeper inclines.

Modularity

Many designs are modular, allowing sections to be added, removed, or combined with other conveyor types (e.g., curved sections).

Portable Options

Lightweight models with wheels or collapsible frames are available for temporary or flexible use.

This picture is simple layout of gravity roller conveyor layout (we can provide curved gravity roller conveyor and straight gravity roller conveyor).

• Cost-Effective: No electricity or motors are required, reducing initial purchase costs and eliminating operational energy expenses.
• Low Maintenance: With few moving parts, gravity roller conveyors are simple to maintain and have a long lifespan.
• Easy Installation: Lightweight and straightforward design allows for quick setup without specialized tools or expertise.
• Energy Efficient: Relies entirely on gravity, making it an eco-friendly option with zero power consumption.
• Quiet Operation: Lacks motorized components, resulting in minimal noise compared to powered conveyors.
• Flexible Use: Adjustable incline and portable options make it adaptable to various tasks or temporary setups.

• Warehousing and Distribution: Moves boxes or packages from one area to another, such as unloading trucks to sorting zones or transferring goods to storage racks.
• Assembly Lines: Transports components between workstations in manufacturing plants, especially for lightweight parts in short-distance setups.
• Shipping and Receiving: Facilitates loading and unloading of goods in docks, often used as a temporary or portable solution for moving packages into or out of trucks.
• Retail and Order Picking: Assists in backroom operations by moving inventory from storage to packing areas, particularly in small-scale or temporary setups.
• Packaging Lines: Transfers finished products (e.g., boxed goods) to sealing or shipping stations in low-volume production environments.
• Temporary Workstations: Portable gravity roller conveyors are used in construction sites, events, or pop-up facilities to move materials quickly and cheaply.
