Portable Flexible Roller Conveyors

Maximize efficiency and flexibility in your material handling with our versatile Flexible Conveyors! Perfect for warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities across Sri Lanka, these innovative conveyors can expand, contract, and curve to suit your specific needs, making loading, unloading, and transporting goods easier and faster than ever before.

Our Flexible Conveyors are designed for quick deployment and effortless reconfiguration, providing an adaptable solution for fluctuating demands and dynamic workspaces, significantly reducing manual labor and improving productivity.3

Key Specifications:

Lifting Capacity (Distributed Load):

Typically rated for 20 kg to 80 kg per linear meter for distributed loads, depending on the roller type and frame strength.

Maximum Point Load (per axle): Around 10 kg to 30 kg for individual items on a single roller axle.

Designed for lighter to medium-weight packages, boxes, cartons, and totes.4

Lifting Height (Adjustable): The height of the conveyor is manually adjusted via telescopic legs with locking mechanisms.

Minimum Height: Typically 600 mm to 750 mm.

Maximum Height: Can be adjusted up to 900 mm to 1,200 mm, or higher for some specialized models. This allows for ergonomic alignment with trucks, docks, or other equipment.

Conveying Speed (for Powered Flexible Conveyors):

Gravity Models: Speed is determined by the slope (adjustable) and the weight of the item.

Powered Models: Adjustable speed, typically 5 meters/minute to 20 meters/minute.

Variable speed drives are often available for precise control.5

Extended Length (Telescopic Reach): The range from its fully retracted to fully extended length.

Retracted Length: Typically 1 meter to 3 meters per section.

Extended Length: Can expand up to 3 times to 4 times its retracted length, reaching 3 meters to 12 meters (10 to 40 feet) or more with interconnected units.6

Conveyor Width (Roller Length): The usable width of the conveying surface. 450 -1000 mm.

Roller Diameter & Pitch (Spacing):

Roller Diameter: 38 - 50 mm.

Roller Pitch (Spacing): The distance between roller centers. Crucial for supporting items adequately (an item should always be in contact with at least 3 rollers). Available in various pitches (e.g., 75mm, 100mm, 125mm) to suit different product sizes.

Types of Flexible Conveyors:

Gravity Roller Flexible Conveyor: Most common, items move by gravity on a slight incline.7 Highly portable and cost-effective.

Powered Roller Flexible Conveyor: Rollers are motor-driven, providing controlled movement and accumulation capabilities, suitable for horizontal or slightly inclined paths.8

Skatewheel Flexible Conveyor: Uses small skate wheels instead of rollers, offering excellent maneuverability for lighter, smaller items and allowing for tight curves.9

Control System (for Powered Models):

Basic On/Off & Speed Control: Simple push-button panel at one end.

Emergency Stop Buttons: Prominently located at both ends of the conveyor.10

Variable Speed Control: Via a rotary dial or digital interface.

Safety Features: Our Flexible Conveyors are designed with user safety and operational reliability in mind:

Emergency Stop Buttons: Easily accessible and clearly marked for immediate shutdown.11

Lockable Swivel Castors: Ensures stability during operation and prevents unintended movement.12

Side Guards/Handrails (Optional): Prevents items from falling off the conveyor and provides a safety barrier.13

Pinch Point Guards: Design minimizes exposed moving parts to prevent entanglement.

Robust Locking Mechanisms: For securing the extended length and adjusted height.14

Motor Overload Protection (for Powered models): Protects the motor from damage.

Warning Labels: Clear signage indicating safe operating procedures.

Structure:

Expandable & Retractable Frame: A unique scissor-style or accordion-type heavy-duty steel framework (often mild steel with powder coating or galvanization) allows the conveyor to expand, contract, and flex into curves.

Heavy-Duty Rollers/Skatewheels: Durable steel or plastic rollers/skatewheels for smooth product movement, mounted on spring-loaded axles for easy replacement.15

Lockable Castors: Equipped with robust, swivel castors (often 2 with brakes per leg set) for easy portability and secure positioning.16

Adjustable Legs: Sturdy legs with manual screw jacks or similar mechanisms for height adjustment.

Integrated End Stops: To prevent items from rolling off.

No "Cabin Dimensions" or "Cabin Construction" / "Doors": These are standalone, portable material handling machines, not designed for human occupancy or enclosed spaces.
