Flexible conveyor systems enable you to reposition conveyor intake or egress positions by adjusting conveyor segments based on ever-changing conditions during the workday.

Flexible Gravity Conveyor

Flexible gravity conveyor systems are set up with skate wheels or non-powered conveyor rollers and are supplied in a variety of widths and capacities, from basic systems for less rigorous use to heavy duty options adequate for use in distribution centers and other high volume operations.

Although steel skate wheels are typical, these conveyors may also be constructed from other materials such as aluminum, plastic and stainless steel.

Steel skate wheels include many benefits and are an ideal choice for a wide variety of enterprise applications from assembly lines to storage space. They are well suited for flat surface, lightweight goods like cases. Because each wheel turns independently, they are frequently used for curved conveyor segments.

Gravity rollers are a better choice for heavier items, and can also accommodate uneven package surfaces in addition to flat based items. Rollers don't spin as fast as discreet skate wheels, so roller configurations can be used for accumulation applications where skate wheels are not an option.
