Gravity Roller Conveyor
Synergy Automatics is a specialised in designing and manufacturing Gravity Roller Conveyors that offer reliable and cost-effective material movement without the need for external power. Our gravity conveyors are widely used across industries to enhance efficiency and reduce operational costs.
What is a Gravity Roller Conveyor?
A Gravity Roller Conveyor uses the force of gravity to transport goods from a higher to a lower point along a slight slope.
The rollers are mounted between two sturdy frames, and the entire system requires no electricity or power to operate.
- Heavier products move faster due to increased gravitational pull.
- Greater slope angles can accelerate product movement.
- However, uncontrolled speed can cause product damage at the end unless equipped with braking mechanisms or stop gates.
Gravity conveyors are ideal for moving items like carton boxes, plastic crates, mechanical components, drums, pallets, and totes efficiently across short to medium distances.
How Do Gravity Roller Conveyors Work?
Gravity roller conveyors work similarly to an inclined ramp where the product naturally moves downward under its own weight.
Proper design of slope, roller spacing, and roller diameter ensures smooth and controlled product flow without manual pushing.
- Higher the product weight or slope, faster the movement.
- Lighter products may need steeper slopes or additional assistance for consistent flow.
Limitations of Gravity Roller Conveyors
While gravity roller conveyors are highly economical, they do have certain limitations:
- Â Very lightweight products may not move easily without higher slopes.
- Â Longer conveyor lengths are challenging for very light loads due to loss of momentum.
- Â Heavier items may require additional braking mechanisms to prevent high-speed impacts.
- Â Precise controlled movement (like delicate positioning) is not possible without manual or external aids.
Applications of Gravity Roller Conveyors
-  No power required – pure gravity-driven operation
- Â Low installation and operational costs
- Â Minimal maintenance needed over time
- Â Quick to assemble and relocate
- Â Reduces labor costs by moving goods effortlessly
-  Flexible installation – can be used almost anywhere indoors
