Gravity skate wheel conveyor
The skate wheel conveyor is a version of the roller conveyor. It is used in situations where non-actuated conveyors are needed. With skate wheels it is possible to adjust the pitch, enabling the transport of even smaller items. The conveyor also has better properties in the accumulation of items, since the individual skate wheels work independently of each other. Thanks to the mentioned independency, the skate wheels also enable a better passage in the bends. It is frequently produced as a variable flexible conveyor that enables the setting of various lengths, trajectories and tilts. Its disadvantage is its higher price compared to the roller option.
