Light Duty Line Shaft Driven Live Roller Conveyor, Roach Model 738LS

The Roach Model 738LS has gained widespread usage with its unique design; Line shaft conveyors are powered by a drive shaft that spans the full length of the conveyor and transmits power to the rollers via a drive spool and belt. When back pressure is applied to the conveyed product, the spools driving the rollers will slip on the shaft allowing the product to accumulate with a minimum amount of back pressure.
