Roller Conveyor

The first patent for roller conveyors was awarded in 1908 to Hymie Goddard, from Logan Company, in Indiana. This allowed for smooth transport of goods by means of internal ball bearings, although the conveyor did not get mainstream until five years later. In 1913 Henry Ford made a milestone in history by introducing the renowned assembly line. During the 1920s conveyor solutions started being used for longer distances thanks to a conveyor being able to carry heavier and larger goods over long distances with much more ease.

It was due to World War 2 and the lack of raw materials that the technology improved and is the reason why today roller conveyors can be used from materials including synthetic fabrics and polymers. This also reduced the cost of upkeep on the roller conveyor system. Starting in the 70s up to now, conveyor systems including the roller conveyor, have witnessed developments to their technologies and innovations from introducing and perfecting power conveyors through to using computers to control complex applications. There are consistently new variations to the conveyor systems to keep the industry in motion, all with the goal to reduce time and increase optimal performance.

Roller conveyors are an integral part of industrial applications, offering various options such as gravity conveyors and powered systems to support the effortless transport of goods. These conveyor lines use a range of conveyor rollers made from materials like mild steel zinc or bright zinc, depending on load capacity and load ratings. Whether handling heavy-duty items like loaded pallets or smaller items with minimum product size requirements, roller conveyors provide the ideal solution for optimising production lines and warehouse pathways.

Bespoke conveyors, including gravity roller conveyor systems and Lineshaft Roller Conveyors, offer flexibility and adaptability to suit specific production processes. Conveyor technology can include features such as conveyor lifts, skate wheel conveyors, and straight sections, making it easy to automate and enhance workflow. Steel side frames and tube walls add to the strength and durability of heavy-duty conveyor rollers, which are essential for safe operation in industries such as manufacturing and logistics.

For more advanced setups, complete roller conveyors can be customised with individual rollers, drive rollers, and bespoke gravity roller conveyors. This includes accessories like continuous conveyors or flexible conveyors, allowing for the efficient movement of products across an entire conveyor system. Whether using standard gravity conveyors or bespoke gravity conveyor accessories, companies can ensure safe, smooth, and continuous conveyor belt operations tailored to their industrial needs.​
