Roller Conveyors
ABM Equipment provides both powered and gravity roller conveyors for boxes and large packaged goods in manufacturing, packaging, warehousing, and distribution applications. We use powered roller conveyors for controlling product spacing, controlling speed of incoming product, and conveying different products independently on the same conveyor. We use gravity/free-rotating rollers for product accumulation and moving large items when you have a decline to use. Roller conveyors are great for their strength, durability, and simpliciy (ie. low maintenance).
Applications
Roller conveyors can be used in a variety of different applications, including assembly lines, packaging, and material handling. They can also be used for sorting, accumulating, and transporting materials. Roller conveyors are particularly useful for applications that involve heavy loads or large items, as they can handle large weights and sizes with ease.
The biggest drawback of using a roller conveyor is its limited flexibility. Roller conveyors are typically used for straight-line conveyance, and it can be difficult to change the direction or orientation of the conveyor. Additionally, roller conveyors can be more expensive to purchase and install than other types of conveyors due to rollers typically being solid metal.

Materials
The materials used in roller conveyors vary depending on the application and the type of product being conveyed. Solid steel rollers are typically used for heavy loads, while aluminum rollers are used for lighter loads. The conveyor frame can be made of steel or aluminum, and the rollers can be coated with a variety of materials to reduce wear and tear.
When it comes to conveyor service, roller conveyors are relatively low maintenance. They typically require only occasional lubrication and cleaning. However, it is important to regularly inspect the rollers and the conveyor frame for any signs of damage or wear from time to time.
Integration
As with virtually all products on our site, we provide comprehensive design, engineering, and installation of the appropriate conveyor for your application. This includes matching the product with the right conveyor specs and features as well as service 10 years down the road.
