Roller conveyors form a specialised group of machinery within the field of conveyor and drive technology. They are available in a variety of designs, performance classes and configurations.
They are characterised by different control systems, performance levels and degrees of automation. Modern models often offer digital interfaces, maintenance monitoring and energy efficiency features.
Leading suppliers include Siemens, SEW-Eurodrive, Bosch Rexroth and WAMGROUP, alongside a wide range of specialist engineering firms.
Roller conveyors are used in production lines, warehousing and industrial material handling. Users range from small workshops and medium-sized production facilities to industrial mass production. Key selection criteria include performance, installation space, energy consumption, operating concept and the availability of spare parts at the site.
