Basic characteristics
Roller conveyor – simple and efficient. This industrial machine moves products, using stainless steel rollers.
Еach roller is connected to the two adjacent ones by belts. The last roller at the machine exit is driven by AC electric motor.
The entire structure is very smooth, easy to maintain, clean and repair.
The materials are mainly AISI 304 stainless steel, anodised aluminum and some plastic parts.
Machine frame
The frame consists of aluminum profiles.
Basically, such structures are made of extruded aluminum profiles. According to different manufacturers, the profiles have various shapes of grooves along their periphery. These grooves are suitable for placing specially designed nuts and other fasteners. In this way, the parts of the structure are connected to each other and allow the installation of additional parts to them.
Stainless steel covers are mounted on the profiles to cover the frame construction.
The frame has adjustable legs to be able to regulate the height of the roller conveyor.
Roller conveyor – top module
The upper part of the machine is a construction of multiple rotating rollers.
They are assembled between two sheet metal parts and joined with bolts. The upper construction has bolts for mounting on the frame.
Rollers construction
Each roller consists of ball bearings, axis, shafts, bolts and washers at both sides of the tube.
They are assembled between the sheet metal parts. The last roller at the exit of the conveyor takes the movement from the electric motor and every next roller turns the one before it.
Electrical motor module
The motor module is equipped with adjustment plates and a scale engraved on them. By turning a standard bolt, the motor retaining plate can tighten or loosen the first belt, moving the motor-gearbox assembly apart. On the gearbox there is a shaft with a pulley that connects the first pulley to the electric drive.
Drawings.
We prepared some of the drawings to showcase how the 2D documentation looks like. Every detail is carefully dimensioned on the plate`s documentation and for the assembly drawings we have BOM and all needed views to showcase all the structure.
