Chain driven roller conveyor
Chain roller conveyor is a kind of power conveyor. The driving device transmits the power to the roller through the meshing force between the chain and the sprocket, which makes it rotate and convey the goods through the friction between the surface of the roller and the surface of the goods to be conveyed.
Qingdao palet machinery co,.ltd can customize and manufacture chain roller conveyors according to customers’ requirements and supply parts and sections of roller conveyors.Chain roller conveyor is the most widely used roller conveyor, whose reference pictures are as follows.
Types of Chain Roller Conveyors
According to the chain arrangement, there are single chain drive roller conveyor and double chain drive roller conveyor.
| Single chain drive roller conveyor | Double chain drive roller conveyor | |
|---|---|---|
| Load capacity | Medium duty | Heavy duty |
| Applications | Low speed, continuous operation | More frequent starting and braking |
| Torque decay | Lesser | Larger |
| Conveying speed | Lower speed | Higher conveying speed ，＜30m/min |
| Roller centers availables | Flexible arrangement, independent of chain pitch | Roller centers availables needs to be calculated according to the formula |
| Layout features | Configuration of the tensioning mechanism. | Drive roller arrangement in the middle of the conveyor |
| Layout Plan |  |  |
According to the load capacity, there are light load plastic steel sprocket roller conveyor, medium load steel sprocket roller conveyor and heavy load steel sprocket roller conveyor, and the difference between them is as follows.
Light-weight Chain Driven Roller Conveyor
Drive sprocket material : Plastic sprocket
Medium-Duty Chain Driven Roller Conveyor
Drive sprocket material : Steel sprocket
Heavy-Duty Chain Driven Roller Conveyor
Drive sprocket material : Steel sprocket
| Types of chain roller conveyor | Roller conveyor Capacity(Single roller) | Drive sprocket material | Roller Bearing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light Duty Chain Driven Live Roller Conveyors | ＜150kg | Plastic sprocket（Polyamide sprockets） | Plastic bearing housing, precision bearing |
| Medium Duty Chain Driven Live Roller Conveyors | ＜250kg | Steel sprocket | Plastic bearing housing, precision bearing |
| Heavy Duty Chain Driven Live Roller Conveyors | ＜450kg | Steel sprocket | Steel bearing housing, precision bearing |
Chain Roller Conveyors components
Gravity roller conveyors are mainly composed of gravity conveyor rollers, frames, and support legs . There is no drive section and does not require a motor or gearbox.
