An idle roller conveyor or a non-powered roller conveyor has no motor drive. They can be used to transport various goods with a flat surface or a surrounding frame and with different widths and lengths. Idle roller conveyors are suitable for transporting, for example, pallets, workpiece carriers, cardboard boxes, crates, etc. They are also a popular conveyor technology. They are also a popular conveyor system in pallet conveyor technology.
The goods to be conveyed are transported, for example, by gravity over a gradient (gravity roller conveyor or gravity roller conveyor) or moved by muscle power. They are used where conveyed goods such as packages or boxes still have to be picked up or pallets or workpiece carriers still have to be moved manually.
The free space between the rollers provides enough room for the installation of stoppers, fixing units and processing stations.
