Conveyors serve an important role in a wide range of industries today. It can be overwhelming to choose between the different types available. Facet Engineering offers a flexible platform to address this, roller conveyors. Roller conveyors, or gravity conveyors, can handle many different types of light loads.
A gravity conveyor can move products such as cartons, boxes, and barrels, to name just a few. It is, though, not as suited to tasks involving heavy loads at consistently high speeds. This ends up limiting the functionality of a roller conveyor somewhat. Regardless, they are a low-cost alternative to other systems. As well as this, they offer many benefits over these systems.

Gravity conveyors make use of gravity to move items down an incline. Team members can also push products along the rollers as another means of operation. In this particular conveyor system, we recommend using full rollers or skate wheels.

Additionally, this makes upkeep and repairs for your conveyor systems much simpler. Spring-loaded axles all but remove the hassles associated with conveyor systems.
