Soco Systems - Driven pallet roller conveyor 190mm

• Used for transporting pallets, stillages, or other heavy, flat-bottomed items within a production or warehousing facility.
• Commonly integrated into automated material handling systems for sorting, accumulation, and dispatch.
• Suitable for connecting different processing stages, such as packaging lines to palletisers.
• Utilised in distribution centres for moving goods from receiving to storage, or from storage to shipping.
• Applicable in manufacturing environments for conveying raw materials, work-in-progress, or finished goods between workstations.

Typical payload capacity

For this class of equipment, units commonly handle payloads up to 1500 kg per section, depending on motor configuration and roller strength.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, for the gear motor(s).

Roller diameter

Units of this type commonly feature roller diameters around 60-80mm for robust pallet handling.

Conveyor width

Designed to accommodate standard pallet sizes, typically ranging from 800mm to 1200mm wide.

Maximum single motor length

A single gear motor commonly drives sections up to 4.5 metres in length for optimal performance and load distribution.

Installation

Can be floor-mounted directly or supported by adjustable legs, offering flexibility in layout.

Construction material

Typically constructed from robust steel, often powder-coated for durability and resistance to wear.

• What is the typical lifespan of a driven pallet roller conveyor?

  With regular maintenance, these conveyors are built for industrial environments and can provide many years of reliable service. Key components like motors and bearings are designed for longevity.

• Can these conveyors be integrated with existing control systems?

• What kind of maintenance is required for this equipment?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer units?

• What are the power consumption considerations?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
