Lemcol Gravity Conveyors

The Lemcol range of gravity conveyors will enable goods of various shapes, sizes and weights to be moved quickly, efficiently and safely from one operational stage to the next.

Your choice of roller or wheel conveyor will depend on the nature of the articles to be moved. Generally goods that are heavy or less uniform in shape, or both, will require roller conveyors.  Lighter and more uniform articles may well suit the use of wheel conveyors which have the capacity to move goods quicker.

Roller Conveyor Frames:
Available in both straight and curved sections these 
pressed steel frames give absolute rigidity and 
strength without undue weight. 

Rollers:
Available in free running, hard wearng, steel or 
lightweight, non corrosive, quiet running, hygienic 
polypropylene.  In curved sections they are of the double 
differential type, thus enabling cases, cartons etc. to maintain a 
controlled course and not wander towards the outside of the curve.

Capacities:
As quoted are for moving flat objects.  Where the roller is 
subjected to impact, a heavier roller should be used. Overall 
capacity is dependent on roller pitch, roller capacity and the 
method of support.  See the yellow chart at the bottom of this page.

Rigid Supports:
Provide a firm foundation for all the conveyor systems in the range.
These strong adjustable supports can be either bolted to the floor 
or used as free standing units to give mobility with a high degree 
of stability.

Wheel Conveyors:
These very free rolling conveyors are ideal for moving all types of light packages with flat or semi-flat surfaces.  Their free rolling ability is particularly useful where long distances of travel are necessary with a minimum gravity decline.

Steel or Nylon wheels:
Lemcol Wheel Conveyors are available with
either steel wheels for medium-weight
handling, or nylon wheels for lightweight 
use.

Ball Transfer Units:
These simple, but very adaptable free-rolling units provide the capability to easily re-direct goods in any direction with minimum effort. Operators can transfer any flat object in any direction on a horizontal plane.  They are especially suited for transferring goods from one conveyor line to another, the movement of boxes of parts around machines and manipulating heavy steel plates around presses and guillotines.  They also serve as multi-directional switches and transfer stations for heavy flat objects.
