Powered Roller Conveyor System Installation Completed

Products can be accumulated on lineshaft conveyors with a queue of items can be allowed to form to create an in-line buffer store without stopping the upstream movement of products on the conveyor system. This is possible because a property of the lineshaft drive mechanism design is that it only generates low levels of line pressure. This is the amount of force acting between touching products in the queue. When products are stopped on the conveyor by a mechanical stop, the friction between the product and the rollers beneath then causes the rollers to stop rotating and the corresponding O-rings to slip on their spools, without affecting any other rollers elsewhere on the conveyor.
Lineshaft roller conveyors are powered by a shaft running longitudinally beneath the rollers to which are attached a series of spools. Polyurethane O-rings run from each spool around a groove in the rollers, thus as the shaft is rotated by an electric motor the rollers also rotate in turn pushing the product along the conveyor. Lineshaft roller conveyors are ideal for transporting light to medium products that are regular in shape and size, fairly rigid with an even underside eg. boxes, cartons, totes, platens etc.
