A non-powered turn roller conveyor (gravity turn roller conveyor) is used as a turning element in a transport system. It is most often employed as an additional section of roller conveyors. This conveyor becomes essential if you have a circular internal transportation system or if the layout of your facility does not allow a straight roller conveyor line.
Turn roller conveyors are used for transporting non-bulk goods such as containers, pallets, crates, boxes, stacks of sheet and plate materials, and long loads like metal products, lumber, timber, bars, and similar items. They are employed when the use of belt conveyors is either impossible or impractical.
Gravity-powered turn roller conveyors are used in inclined positions for transporting loads downhill within facilities or warehouses.
Non-driven turn roller conveyors have a special design that allows them to rotate loads up to 180°. This feature enables the use of turn conveyors in limited spaces without compromising production efficiency. Roller conveyors are particularly useful when there is a need to change the direction of the transported object. The bend angle of the turn roller conveyor starts from 30 degrees and can be customized up to 90 degrees.
Installation Features of Non-Driven Turn Roller Conveyor
When installing the conveyor at the workplace, it is essential to comply with all mounting requirements, adhere to the enterprise's regulatory documentation, and follow all equipment operation instructions. It is necessary to consider the environmental conditions of the installation site to prevent corrosion of the frame, rollers, and metal components of the conveyor.
Design and Manufacturing of the Non-Driven Turn Conveyor
These parameters depend on the environment and the conveyor's field of application:
A non-driven turn roller conveyor can be manufactured in both stationary and mobile (portable) configurations.
In a non-driven turn roller conveyor, tapered rollers are most commonly used; however, sometimes regular gravity rollers may be employed as well. The choice depends on the transported load, bend angle, and specific requirements of your production.
A gravity tapered roller is used in roller conveyors where the load is moved manually around bends or by gravity along an inclined spiral. The gravity tapered roller is essentially a standard gravity roller fitted with detachable tapered cones.
Tapered rollers are designed for moving loads on curved sections. Since the speed of the load increases with distance from the center of the rotation axis, slipping occurs on cylindrical rollers, which increases the resistance to load movement. Thanks to their tapered shape, the resistance force when moving the load over the rollers is minimized.
Turntable non-driven roller conveyors can be additionally equipped with the following components
If your facility does not allow for the full construction of a transport system, or there is a need to bypass an obstacle or close a line, then a powered turn conveyor roller is an essential element in your transport system.
