Pallet conveyors are not a one-size-fits-all solution for manufacturing facilities, warehouses and distribution centers. First-class technology that fits the unique requirements of your project must be integrated to get your operations running smoothly and efficiently. Pallet conveyor comes in various configurations and types, which mainly include the following.
Gravity Roller Pallet Conveyor
This unpowered pallet conveyor has a series of rollers closely placed together in succession. The pallet is being moved through gravity along its track while the rollers keep it in motion by reducing the friction between the pallet and the rollers. Rollers are usually used in this kind of conveyor system aside from skate wheel rails for special applications.
Chain Driven Live Roller Pallet Conveyor
If you have loaded pallets such as drums, tires, and other heavy products to move, this kind of pallet conveyor is best for you. Chain driven live roller conveyors are very durable and rugged to deal with even the toughest application requirements. Moreover, they can be configured in many different lengths, widths, as well as roller spacing to suit the demands of different applications. They can also be made with varying degrees of curve sections and can be featured with tapered rollers for better product tracking.
Drag Chain Pallet Conveyor
Also known as multi-strand, a drag chain conveyor is made up of parallel strands of roller chains utilized to move the loads. These chains are being pulled along the rails supporting those chains. The items to be moved are placed directly on top of the chain. This is the most preferred technique of material conveyance for applications where the pallet won’t move well on a roller conveyor. If there is not enough skid on this pallet conveyor to support the load, it can be added with more chain strands for further support. It works best for applications when there is a minimum amount of starting and stopping is needed.
