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.
