Make Your Business Safer and Efficient with Expanding Roller Conveyors
Author: MHA Products Date Posted:17 August 2021
Conveyor equipment is essential for various businesses like goods manufacturing and food processing. There are different types of conveying equipment and some of them are also helpful in airports for convenient transporting of luggage. The most common type of conveyor that is widely used by processing companies is the expanding roller conveyor. These conveyors are actually made to get conveyed around themselves. They are built with rollers on the top for moving objects, packages or items being processed. These conveyor rollers may be used with or without power. On legs, each section rolls itself around on castors, making it easy to create any type of conveyance system that is needed. These conveyor systems are even flexible enough to turn in corners and can also be integrated with a company's existing conveyor system.
What Are Expanding Roller Conveyors?
Expanding roller conveyors are flexible metal conveyor units. Each unit comes with two flexible sections that can be joined in the middle. They are physically joined and the power connections are also plugged in together. Each pair has a controller in the middle and at either end for maximum control. In addition, these sets of conveyors can be attached to form a long continuous conveyor system. They can also be joined to existing conveyor systems that may already exist in a warehouse or plant. This modular design is very efficient and allows for maximum flexibility. MHA's Expanding Roller Conveyors are good for odd shaped cartons and bags of goods which the skate wheel conveyor wont work. Why utilise employees’ time and energy when there are conveyors that can do the heavy lifting and moving all by itself?
Advantages of Expanding Roller Conveyors
One of the biggest advantages in using these conveyor belts is that it reduces the amount of manual labour in production. This makes employees to be more productive with other tasks. It might also reduce labour costs in the future. So, why employ people to move heavy loads around when a roller conveyor can do the job automatically? Another biggest advantage of using these conveyor systems is safety among employees. If workers won’t be lifting heavy loads, they are less likely to get hurt, thus reducing employee downtime.
Who Would Benefit from Conveyor Systems?
Flexible or expanding roller conveyor systems are useful in production plants, manufacturing warehouses and other related commercial industries. They are manufactured and sold in different areas all over Australia. They are built with castors on the bottom of the conveyor's legs for easy movement. The fact that they are flexible allows them to run or curve with various floor designs.
A flexible conveyor is also suggested for a working environment that changes often. Most warehouses and factories change their workplace’s layouts seasonally, due to current production needs. Thus, an expanding roller conveyor is highly advisable than a fixed conveyor system. In fact, flexible conveyor systems are much less expensive. Since they come on rollers, they can easily be installed without delaying the work. They just need to be expanded in required length and then rolled into the desired position. Storage of this equipment is likewise easy, and done by just unplugging the power and then folding and rolling them away for storage.
