How to choose the ultimate non-powered roller conveyor system?

Non-powered roller conveyors are versatile, and the GCS factory supports the customization of any line style.

Roller Diameter:

Standard roller diameter optirollerons are 1.5 inches, 1.9 inches, 2.5 inches, and 3.5 inches. Larger-diameter rollers can carry heavier items but are also more expensive. For most lightweight situations (less than 100 pounds), a 1.5-inch diameter roller is an appropriate choice.

 

Frame style:

Typically a powder-coated steel frame is used, but some models are also available with aluminum frames and rollers. Generally speaking, steel frames provide better weight support.

Each roller size has a corresponding frame size. For a low-profile system like a 1.5-inch diameter roller, they take up very little space. Length of each conveyor section: With most roller conveyors, you can choose the length of the section, such as 5 feet, 8 feet, or 10 feet. Longer sections cost less per foot but cost more to ship. Longer pieces may require center support or leg rests for stability.

Conveyor Width:

Typically measured by the distance between two conveyor frames. The conveyor moves the load to the top of the drum. Optional side rails can be selected to support the load if required. The load can also be extended beyond the sides if required. Our standard model's rollers are slightly higher than the side stand height.

Roller Spacing:

 

The spacing between rollers is usually 1.5 inches, 3 inches, 4.5 inches, or 6 inches. Additionally, you have the option of purchasing a separate gravity roller or a gravity roller with a stand.

We offer thousands of conveyor parts that you can select and assemble to meet your needs. Gravity roller conveyors are available in straight or curved configuration options. The system can be customized on an existing basis and provides professional, comprehensive demonstrations.
