Medium Duty Roller Bed Belt Conveyor, Roach Model 796RB

The Model 796RB, medium duty roller bed belt conveyor, is the conveyor chosen when an application requires a conveyor with greater capacity than a standard slider bed belt conveyor.

Features

• The Model 796RB is designed with a “bed” of non-powered rollers that support the belt
• Each roller helps minimize belt friction, allowing for greater capacities
• The lower co-fiction provided by the roller-bed allows the conveyor to be driven with less horsepower

Applications

• The Model 796 RB is ideal for conveying pallets, bagged bulk products, heavy cartons and parts
