Chain Drive Roller systems are ideal for moving bulky and heavy packages, such as palletised goods. The chain-driven roller conveyor is the "four wheel drive" of the roller conveyor world! The chain-driven roller is all about power and traction. These rollers simply cannot slip, making it the application of choice for moving very heavy packages. It is a particularly popular solution for moving pallet loads.

In a chain roller conveyor, the motor is connected by a chain which connects through a pair of drive rollers. Each Roller is connected to the other by a chain and sprocket layout. This arrangement ensures that no roller can 'slip' under load, and gives positive drive to all of the rollers on the bed simultaneously.

Chain roller conveyor has a centrally mounted single strand of roller chain. The roller chain drives the belt and supports the belt along the upper load carrying run of the belt. It is still possible to create an accumulation system with this technique, merely requiring that the roller bed be divided into separate sections, each with its own drive motor and suitable sensors.

At medium weights and package size, it is still possible to have bends and loops, but these become increasingly impractical and expensive as weight/size increases. Instead, a right-angle transfer station or turntable can be used to accomplish the same effect.

Chain Roller Conveyor, including its parts like sprockets, pins, rollers and, sleeves or plates, can be made from carbon steel, stainless steel and plastic. Steel parts used should have high tenacity and normally they go through the process of controlled rolling for high toughness and strength. The choice of the material used in manufacture depends on the type of application.

A system meant for the mining industry, for instance, would be different from the one that is installed for a tire factory. Also, the system parts and manufacturing is different as per the weather condition at the surroundings. At a Steel plant the rollers should withstand high heat from melted steel whereas at a fish industry the operating temperature is opposite.

Belt Conveyor is the traditional belt system for general warehousing, sortation and logistics. Gravity Roller Conveyor is Simple, economical unpowered roller system, typically used in warehouse environments. Line-Drive roller conveyor is used for lightweight movement of packages, boxes etc. perhaps with accumulation. It is Popular for bends and curves to complement powered belt conveyors.

Other roller conveyors such as chain roller conveyors are one of the most popular and sturdy systems. Its application is in every industry right from transporting heavy loads to food packaging. Replace the chain with a belt and we have a chain belt conveyor which is used for very heavy and large loads. Accumulation Conveyor are very popular in packaging, warehousing, food preparation, and a wide range of industries where products must be brought to a halt at the end of the conveyor, without halting the entire conveyor.

Wire Mesh Conveyors are a lightweight variant of the chain-mesh conveyor, useful when the products need to be drained, or to have warm/cool air circulated around them. For Indoor purpose, Plastic Conveyors are the best choice. They can be used for food packaging and suite all weather conditions. They provide a high level of cleanliness and are easy to maintain.

Check with the Chain Roller Conveyor manufacturers and your consultant before making the investment decision. Make sure that the conveyors you are purchasing satisfy the standards set by the Government and the National Association of Conveyor Manufacturers.
