TYPE: Belt Driven Live Roller Conveyors

MODEL: ROACH MODEL 638CALR

Roach Model 638CALR is a cam adjusted, belt driven live roller conveyor for light duty applications. 

Belt driven live roller conveyors or BDLR are a simple, flexible and versatile method of conveying unit loads of various sizes and weights.  A BDLR essentially is a gravity roller conveyor powered by a belt.  The friction created by the belt drive produces a low pressure method of accumulating product, which in turn allows for loads to be stopped or stalled on the conveyor surface while the belt continues to run.

Unlike other types of unit handling conveyors, belt driven live roller conveyors are not well suited for incline or decline applications.

Features

  • It can convey items horizontally where transfers, side loading or unloading, or temporary accumulation is required for light duty applications
  • Ideal for small items where tight roller spacing is required
