Soco Systems - Non driven 2 part roller conveyor

• Used in warehousing and distribution centres for manual pallet handling.
• Commonly integrated into packing lines for temporary pallet staging.
• Suitable for connecting different zones in a production facility where manual transfer is required.
• Applied in goods-in/goods-out areas for preparing pallets for dispatch or receipt.

Typical capacity

Typically designed to handle standard Euro pallets or similar, with a load capacity commonly ranging from 500kg to 1500kg per metre, depending on roller gauge and material.

Power supply

This equipment is non-driven, therefore it does not require an electrical power supply for its primary function.

Roller material

Commonly features steel or galvanised steel rollers, suitable for industrial environments and heavy loads.

Frame construction

Typically constructed from robust steel sections, often painted or galvanised for durability.

Configuration

As a 2-part system, it is designed for specific transfer points, allowing for modular integration into existing lines.

Maintenance requirements

Generally low maintenance, primarily requiring periodic inspection of rollers and bearings for wear, and ensuring clear pathways.

• What is the primary benefit of a non-driven roller conveyor?

  The primary benefit is its simplicity and cost-effectiveness for applications where gravity or manual pushing is sufficient to move pallets. It requires no power, reducing operational costs and complexity.

• How do pallets move on a non-driven conveyor?

• Is this type of conveyor suitable for all pallet sizes?

• What safety considerations are important for non-driven conveyors?

• Can this conveyor be integrated with powered systems?

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.
