The 796RB roller bed belt conveyor balances increased carrying capacity with the economy of a belt conveyor by introducing a roller support structure beneath the belt. This reduces friction and enables more consistent movement of medium duty products with lower horsepower requirements than typical slider designs.
Applications include general transport of cartons, assemblies, and components where reduced belt drag and moderate load support improves system efficiency. The roller bed design also benefits installations with longer conveying distances or heavier throughput.
Applications
- Convey cartons and cardboard boxes
- Transport totes and reusable containers
- Move fixtures and work-in-process components
- Meter and space packages for downstream equipment
- Accumulate or brake products between process steps
- Elevate or lower unit loads between operating levels
Industries
- Warehousing and distribution centers
- Manufacturing and assembly operations
- Packaging and fulfillment lines
- Inspection, testing, and quality control areas
- Material handling and logistics facilities
