The powered roller is driven by a 24V motor which is enclosed in a roller tube. There is typically one motor in each “zone” which slave drive additional carrying rollers. There are a multitude of flexible options and configurations with this type of micro conveyor to help in many different places in the material handling system.
The advantages of 24V – Motorized Driven Roller are:
- Power savings (runs on demand)
- Quiet (no chains and sprockets)
- Safe
- Creative applications in tight footprints
- High availability and device monitoring through network of components
Applications:
- Merging
- Sortation
- Product separation and gapping
- Zone routing transfers within pick modules
- Can be belted for inclines, declines, and bag/envelope handling
