Powered Roller Conveyors – Efficient and Reliable Material Transport

As a leading manufacturer in conveyor technology, TEGEL-TECHNIK GmbH offers powered roller conveyors for diverse applications, alongside additional conveyor systems with or without rollers. Our portfolio includes:

• 400V powered roller conveyors for high-performance applications 

• 24/48V motorized conveyor rollers for zero-pressure accumulation 

• Friction-driven accumulation roller conveyors 

• Powered roller curves for directional changes
  
  

For non-powered solutions, we also offer gravity roller conveyors and manual feed roller conveyors, depending on operational requirements. You can find a selection of our realized projects here.

Unlike passive roller conveyors, where conveyor rollers only facilitate movement, powered roller conveyors feature electric motors that drive the rollers directly or via chains and belts. The motorized system enables precise control over speed, direction, and segmentation, allowing for customized workflows such as:

• Continuous movement for high-throughput logistics 

• Cyclic transport for synchronized production lines 

• Reverse-mode operation for flexible handling of goods
  
  

These motorized conveyor systems also allow for the integration of stoppers, fusing units, and accumulation zones, enhancing process efficiency at workstations and processing points.

At TEGEL-TECHNIK, we have successfully implemented powered roller conveyors for diverse applications. Some examples include:

Automated Cooling Unit Transport – Using powered roller conveyors, refrigerators are transported from final assembly to an evacuation circuit via workpiece carriers, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.

Multi-Level Plastic Crate Handling – A combination of powered roller conveyors, conveyor belts, rotary units, and stoppers enables the simultaneous removal of filled crates and the feeding of empty containers across multiple levels. After repositioning via a turntable, the containers are lifted to an upper level using a powered conveyor belt, where they are refilled before returning to the unloading area.

These examples highlight the efficiency, automation, and precision that powered roller conveyor systems bring to modern logistics and production environments.

Powered roller conveyors are widely used across multiple industries due to their efficiency, automation capabilities, and adaptability. Here’s a breakdown of key industries and their specific applications:
