Roller Conveyor Systems

Gravity and powered roller conveyor arrangements for conveying, accumulation, transfer and distribution of compatible unit loads.

Description and operating principle

Roller conveyors support products on a series of rotating rollers. Gravity versions rely on slope and product momentum; powered versions drive rollers directly or through belts, chains or line shafts. Roller pitch, diameter, frame and drive zones must suit the load base and product geometry.

Roller Conveyor Loads travel on a bed of rollers. Gravity sections use a slight slope or a manual push; powered sections drive the rollers for transport and accumulation.

Typical applications

Carton and tote handling. Move rigid-base cartons, totes and containers through packing and dispatch areas.
Accumulation. Buffer products between processes using controlled or zero-pressure zones where specified.
Pallet and heavy unit loads. Handle compatible palletized loads using appropriately engineered roller sizes, frames and drives.
Transfer and sorting interfaces. Connect conveyor sections with transfer units, stops and diverters designed for the load.

Available configurations

Gravity roller. Non-powered roller bed for compatible products and layouts with suitable slope or manual push.
Powered roller. Motor-driven zones for controlled movement and line integration.
Accumulation conveyor. Buffered zones using control logic selected for product and process requirements.
Curves and transfers. Direction changes and cross transfers designed around load footprint and stability.

Main components

RollersThe load rolls on closely spaced rollers.
Side frameHolds the roller axles at a fixed pitch.
DrivePowers the rollers through the drive train in the guard.
Drive guardCovers the roller drive along the frame.

Technical design basis

Roller pitch: Selected so the load is supported by sufficient rollers throughout travel.
Roller diameter & wall: Selected from load, impact, span, duty and bearing requirements.
Load capacity: Calculated for the actual load distribution, roller count, frame span and support arrangement.
Drive arrangement: Gravity, chain, belt or motorized roller solution selected for control and duty.
Accumulation control: Zone logic and sensor placement defined by product flow and downstream acceptance.

Roller conveyor images are from ENTRA’s roller-conveyor gallery. Pallet duty, carton duty and accumulation behavior require different design checks; the same roller layout should not be assumed suitable for every load.

Description and operating principle

Aluminium-profile conveyors use modular extruded profiles and compatible brackets, supports and guarding to create configurable conveyor frames. The conveying medium may be selected separately—such as belt or modular chain—so frame material alone does not define the conveyor’s load or performance.

Aluminium-Profile Conveyor A conveyor built on slotted aluminium profiles, so guides, sensors and stands bolt on anywhere and the line is easy to extend or reconfigure.

Typical applications

Assembly workstations. Provide modular conveyor sections alongside manual or automated assembly processes.
Inspection and testing. Support product movement through checking, testing and quality-control stations.
Machine connections. Connect compact machines and work cells with configurable frame and transfer sections.

Stainless-Steel Conveyor Systems

Stainless conveyor structures and conveying arrangements designed around defined product-contact, cleaning and process-environment requirements.

Description and operating principle

Stainless-steel conveyors are selected where corrosion resistance, cleaning access, product-contact requirements or process conditions call for stainless construction. Stainless steel alone does not make a conveyor hygienic: geometry, weld finish, drainage, seals, bearings, belt materials and cleaning procedures all matter.

Stainless-Steel Conveyor A conveyor with a stainless-steel structure and an open, cleanable frame for process areas where corrosion resistance and washdown matter.

Typical applications

Food and beverage. Convey compatible packaged or process products in environments with defined cleaning and sanitation needs.
Pharmaceutical and personal care. Support controlled product transfer where materials, cleanability and documentation are specified by the process owner.
Washdown areas. Use suitable construction details and components where washdown is part of the operating procedure.

Spiral Conveyor Systems

Continuous vertical conveying for production lines that need elevation, accumulation or controlled cooling within a compact footprint.

Description and operating principle

An industrial spiral conveyor transfers products between elevations while maintaining a continuous conveying path. Depending on the belt, product and process, a spiral can be used for elevation, lowering, accumulation, cooling or buffering. The final design is selected around the product and the line—not from a generic height claim.

Spiral Conveyor Products climb or descend on a continuous helical track around a central column, changing level in a small footprint without stopping the flow.

Typical applications

Vertical elevation. Move cartons, trays, cases or suitable packaged products between production levels while preserving a continuous flow.
Cooling and conditioning. Create a long conveying dwell path for bakery, packaged food or other temperature-conditioning processes when the process and belt materials are suitable.
Accumulation and buffering. Use a spiral layout to add controlled product residence time and buffer adjacent processes where the line concept permits.
Floor-space constrained lines. Use vertical space to connect equipment across mezzanines, platforms or multiple production levels.

Available configurations

Elevation spiral. Continuous upward transfer between floor levels or production platforms.
Lowering spiral. Controlled downward transfer where product stability and discharge geometry allow.
Accumulation spiral. Extended conveying path used as a buffer between processes.
Cooling / conditioning spiral. Long residence path configured around product temperature, air flow and sanitation requirements.

Main components

Helical trackProducts keep moving while they change level.
Central columnCarries the track on radial arms.
InfeedProducts enter at the lower level.
Drive and outfeedOne drive moves the whole track; products leave at the top.

Technical design basis

Product envelope: Dimensions, mass, stability, package base and allowable contact surface.
Vertical travel: Infeed/outfeed elevations and required elevation change.
Spiral geometry: Tower diameter, belt path, curve geometry and available footprint.
Operating duty: Throughput, product pitch, accumulation target and operating hours.
Belt / chain and environment: Selected from product, temperature, cleaning and wear requirements.

Spiral capacity, maximum elevation, belt speed, product loading and temperature suitability are project-specific. ENTRA confirms these after reviewing the product, layout, belt selection, drive duty and operating environment. No universal capacity or height is assumed on this page.

Side-Gripper Conveyor Systems

Opposed gripping belts hold suitable products at their sides to move them vertically, invert them or connect different conveyor levels.

Description and operating principle

A side-gripper conveyor uses two synchronized, opposing belts or gripping elements to hold a product along its sides while it is transferred. It is useful where a conventional base-supporting conveyor cannot provide the required vertical path or where the product needs to be presented in a controlled orientation. Grip geometry and pressure must be matched to the actual container.

Side-Gripper Conveyor Two opposing belts hold each container by its sides and carry it steeply up or down between conveyor levels, keeping it upright.

Typical applications

Bottle and container elevation. Transfer suitable bottles, cans, jars and rigid containers upward between conveyor levels.
Lowering and level changes. Move containers downward into downstream equipment, packaging lines or accumulation zones.
Rinsing and inversion concepts. Where required, a purpose-designed arrangement can turn or invert compatible products for a defined process step. This is application-specific, not an inherent feature of every side-gripper.
Space-saving line integration. Route product vertically to free floor area, pass over or around equipment and connect separated production levels.

Available configurations

Vertical elevator. Upward product transfer between conveyor levels.
Vertical lowerator. Downward transfer while maintaining side control.
Variable-width grip. Adjustment approach selected for the product size range and changeover frequency.
Process-specific inversion. Custom orientation or inversion arrangement after checking product and process requirements.

Main components

Gripper beltsTwo belts hold each container by its sides.
Belt drivesEach belt is driven so both run at the same speed.
Infeed conveyorContainers arrive in single file.
Outfeed conveyorContainers are released upright at the new level.

Technical design basis

Container geometry: Height, diameter/width, shoulder profile, mass and centre of gravity.
Grip interface: Belt material, contact length, grip gap, friction and allowable deformation.
Vertical travel: Required elevation, line speed, product pitch and transfer sequence.
Drive synchronization: Matched speed and coordinated operation of opposing grip elements.
Safety & guarding: Access protection, interlocks, emergency stops and jam recovery.

Grip dimensions, pressure, belt speed and achievable throughput depend on the actual container and line layout. Fragile, tapered, wet, slippery or highly variable products require trials or engineering review before a final design is selected. The gallery includes one ENTRA gripper reference plus separate general elevator references; the latter are not presented as side-gripper installations.

Industrial Elevator & Lowerator Systems

Purpose-designed vertical transfer equipment for moving compatible products or loads between conveyor levels.

Description and operating principle

Industrial elevators and lowerators transfer products vertically when a horizontal conveyor cannot bridge the required level change. The lifting principle may use a platform, carrier, cleat, bucket, gripper or other product-specific support. The equipment principle must be selected from the load and transfer duty rather than inferred from the word elevator.

Industrial Elevator A guided carriage lifts or lowers the load between two conveyor levels when a horizontal conveyor cannot bridge the height.

Typical applications

Production floor level changes. Transfer compatible products between conveyors at different elevations.
Machine feeding and discharge. Present products to elevated or recessed machinery with controlled transfer.
Vertical buffering. Use a suitable carrier or platform arrangement where intermediate buffering is required.
Space-constrained layouts. Use vertical movement to reduce long ramps or avoid obstructing floor-level traffic.

Available configurations

Platform elevator. Lift table or platform for compatible discrete loads.
Continuous-flow elevator. Carrier-based continuous transfer where the product and duty support it.
Lowerator. Controlled downward transfer between line levels.
Special-purpose lift. Custom carrier, gripper or transfer concept after product assessment.

Main components

Lifting carriageTakes the load, travels on the mast guides and hands it over.
Guide mastColumns with guide rails keep the carriage aligned.
Lifting driveRaises and lowers the carriage.
Lower level conveyorFeeds the load onto the carriage.
Upper level conveyorReceives the load at the new height.

Technical design basis

Lift height & travel: Defined from floor levels, machine interfaces and installation envelope.
Rated load: Established from product mass, carrier mass, dynamic effects and safety design.
Cycle / throughput: Calculated from travel, loading, unloading, dwell and control sequence.
Safety functions: Defined by risk assessment, access conditions and applicable machinery requirements.

The ENTRA gallery includes two elevator references. They are shown as general elevator equipment and are not labelled as side-gripper systems. No rated load or travel speed is assumed.

Screw & Auger Conveyor Systems

Meter, feed and transfer powders, granules and suitable bulk solids using a rotating helical flight in a trough or tube.

Description and operating principle

A screw conveyor moves bulk material along a casing by rotating a helical flight around a shaft—or by using a shaftless spiral in suitable applications. It can provide horizontal or inclined conveying, controlled feeding and transfer between process stages. Selection depends heavily on the material properties and the required duty.

Screw Conveyor A rotating helical flight pushes powders, grains and other bulk material along a closed casing from the inlet to the discharge.

Typical applications

Powders and fine materials. Transfer suitable flour, mineral powders, additives and other free-flowing or conditioned fine materials in an enclosed conveying path.
Granules and pellets. Move suitable plastic pellets, grains, seeds and granular products between storage, dosing and process equipment.
Metering and feeding. Use a screw feeder or variable-speed drive to support controlled feeding where the material and required accuracy permit.
Process and bulk transfer. Connect hoppers, silos, mixers, bagging equipment and production machinery with horizontal or inclined screw arrangements.

Available configurations

U-trough screw. Openable or covered trough arrangement for accessible process and bulk transfer duties.
Tubular screw. Enclosed tube arrangement where containment and routing requirements favour a tubular casing.
Screw feeder. Hopper-mounted feeding arrangement designed around material flow and required discharge control.
Twin-screw arrangement. Parallel screw configuration for selected feeding, mixing or difficult-flow applications after process review.

Main components

Screw flightAs it turns, the helix pushes material along the casing.
U-troughEncloses the material; covers are removed in this view.
InletMaterial is fed in from a hopper, silo or process outlet.
DischargeMaterial leaves at the end of the screw.
DriveA gearmotor turns the screw shaft.

Technical design basis

Material bulk density: Measured or supplied bulk density and its variation during operation.
Particle and flow behaviour: Particle size, cohesion, moisture, abrasiveness, temperature and tendency to bridge.
Screw geometry: Flight diameter, pitch, shaft/shaftless design, trough or tube and fill ratio.
Duty and inclination: Mass/volume flow, conveying length, inclination, start-up and operating hours.
Wear and containment: Liners, seals, bearings, cleanout, dust containment and material compatibility.

Screw conveyor capacity is not inferred from diameter alone. It depends on material bulk density and flow behaviour, flight geometry, pitch, speed, fill ratio, inclination and duty. Abrasive, sticky, hot, combustible or food-contact materials require specific material, sealing, guarding and process review.

Pallet Inverters

Pallet inverters that clamp a full load and turn it over to exchange pallets or recover goods without restacking by hand.

Description and operating principle

A pallet inverter grips a complete pallet load between two clamping platens and rotates it, typically through 180 degrees. The pallet can then be removed and replaced, for example to change from a wooden to a plastic or hygienic pallet, to recover goods from a damaged pallet, or to turn a load over for a process step. Clamping force, rotation and controls are selected for the load so it stays stable throughout the cycle.

Accumulation Tables

Accumulation tables that buffer products between machines so a short stop downstream does not stop the whole line.

Description and operating principle

An accumulation conveyor momentarily holds products before releasing them to the next production phase. On an accumulation table, products arrive in single file, spread onto a wide moving bed when the downstream machine slows or stops, and are guided back into single file by rails when it restarts. ENTRA supplies accumulation tables and alpine (multi-level) accumulation conveyors.

Accumulation Table A wide moving bed holds products for a short time when the next machine stops, then guide rails funnel them back into single file so the line keeps running.

Typical applications

Bottling and canning lines. Buffer bottles, cans and jars between filling, capping, labelling and packing machines.
Machine stop protection. Keep upstream machines running through short downstream stops.
Manual packing stations. Give operators a buffer of products to pick from.

Available configurations

Accumulation table. Wide modular belt bed with guide rails for mass accumulation.
Alpine conveyor. Multi-level accumulation conveyor that stores products in a compact footprint.
Bi-directional table. Table that can fill and release in both directions to suit the line.

Main components

Accumulation bedA wide moving surface where products build up as a buffer.
Guide railsFunnel the mass of products back into single file.
Infeed laneProducts arrive from the upstream machine.
Single-file outfeedReleases products to the next machine as it needs them.

Technical design basis

Bed width & length: Selected from the buffer quantity and the space available.
Belt type: Selected for the product, stability and cleaning.
Guide rails: Shaped to return products to single file without jams.
Controls: Sensors and logic that fill and release the buffer.

Conveyor Line Integration & Automation

Integrated conveyor sections, transfers, sensors and control interfaces that coordinate material flow across production equipment.

Description and operating principle

Conveyor line integration connects individual machines and transport sections into a coordinated material-flow system. The engineering scope may include mechanical transfers, accumulation, product detection, drives, PLC interfaces, operator controls, safety circuits and commissioning. Exact automation architecture depends on the existing plant and project scope.

Conveyor Line Integration Conveyor sections, a right-angle transfer, sensors and a control panel work as one line, so product flow is coordinated between machines.

Typical applications

Machine infeed and outfeed. Coordinate product transfer between conveyors, fillers, packers, inspection machines and other process equipment.
Accumulation and release. Buffer product flow and manage upstream/downstream rate differences.
Sorting and diversion. Route products to destinations using suitable identification, sensors and mechanical diverters.
Line modernization. Connect new conveyor sections to existing equipment and control systems after interface review.

Available configurations

Conveyor line extension. New conveyor sections connected to an existing production line.
Accumulation and metering. Controlled buffers and release logic between process stages.
Sorting and routing. Sensor-led routing and mechanical transfer devices for defined product streams.
Controls retrofit. Targeted drive, sensor or PLC integration based on the installed system.

Main components

Control panelPLC, operator screen and signal light coordinate the line.
Product sensorDetects each product so the controls can time transfers.
Right-angle transferPasses the product onto the next conveyor at 90°.
Belt sectionBrings product from the upstream machine.
Roller sectionTakes product on to the next process.

Technical design basis

Throughput & cycle time: Defined from product rate, machine cycle, accumulation and shift pattern.
Control platform: PLC, HMI and communications selected to suit customer standards and existing plant architecture.
I/O and instrumentation: Sensor, actuator, drive and safety-device list developed from the sequence of operation.
Safety integration: Risk assessment and interface definition for emergency stops, guards and machine interlocks.
