Bosses who are engaged in factories in Jiangjin, are they often stuck in the neck by these two things.Ridiculously high variance in custom roller conveyor line quotes? Out of state manufacturers are dragging their feet and adding money for installation?Today let's rip the bottom out of the industry and talk about how a local custom roller conveyor line in Jiangjin is a good buy and a solid fit!
First, custom roller conveyor line price for so much difference? First split the cost structure!
Don't just stare at the total price! The price of customized equipment is like an onion, you have to peel it layer by layer:
-
Material costs account for the bulk of the cost (45%-60%)
- Roller type: Seamless steel pipe vs. carbon steel plating, the difference is over $200 for a single one!
- Bracket Material: 3mm cold rolled steel is 30% more expensive than regular angle, but lasts 5 years longer.
- Driver Configuration: Domestic motor single 2000 yuan, Siemens with the same power directly doubled.
-
Design complexity plus (15%-25%)
→ Straight conveyor? Curve 90° steering? Climbing 15°?For each additional turn, the cost jumps 10%
→ Two levels of frame thickness difference between 1-ton and 5-ton loads, more steel used 40% -
Hidden Costs Hidden Deeply (20%+)
- Field manufacturers: Logistics fees are calculated per ton (Jiangjin to Shandong ≈ 800 RMB/ton), and technician travel is 200 RMB/day/person.
- Local manufacturers: Save on cross-country shipping costs, and engineers can get to the site on their bikes--Those two alone will cut the total price by 15%!

Second, is the field installation service worth it? The key to look at these 5 steps!
Don't believe in the “package installation” three words out of pocket!A truly reliable field installation has to go through these five steps::
1. Field mapping to be millimetre scale
→ Field manufacturers: send a CAD to let you measure yourself? The responsibility for the wrong size is shifted to you!
→local service: Engineer with laser rangefinder on the door, even the workshop floor flatness (±2mm error) are recorded into the system, the drawings on the spot to confirm the signature.
2. Pre-assembly testing before shipment
Putting together a 20-meter roller conveyor line at the factory, no-load test run for 2 hours-Sounds like a hassle? But it prevents you from getting halfway through loading in the field and realizing the rollers are jammed!Jiangjin Coburn Technology relies on this trick to keep the rework rate below 3%.
3. Installation process staring at three places
- Bracket leveling: Calibrate with level meter, slope error per meter ≤1.5mm (National standard GB50231);
- Chain tensioning: The sag is controlled at a center distance of 1%-4.5%, too tight motor burns, too loose will jump teeth;
- Protective retrofitting: Turning position must be welded crash bar - a factory to save the money, the result is that the pallet flew out and smashed the injection molding machine!
4. 72-hour commissioning
Don't sign the acceptance form too quickly! Let the equipment run for 3 days straight:
- Day 1: No-load test start/stop 100 times;
- Day 2: Loaded 80% cargo run for 8 hours;
- Day 3: Full Load + Emergency Stop Test -Motor temperature rise >40℃ Immediately return to service!
5. Video archiving of training
Teach an operator to adjust speed? Verbalize it and forget it in three days!Local masters directly shoot operation video stored in the employee's cell phoneThe key steps are marked with red circles - Chongqing Reed Hinkle's customer feedback failure rate dropped 60%.
Third, personal opinion: save a little money to eat a big loss, choose local is to buy insurance
After ten years of factory equipment purchasing in Jiangjin, the blood and tears experience is just one sentence.Don't pick the low bid from out of state to save 20k!Last year, Shuangfu Industrial Park, Wang always try to find a cheap Hebei manufacturers, the results of the installation found that the foot bolt holes can not be, on-site punching and charging 8,000 yuan; debugging motor steering reverse, the master of the high-speed rail back and forth to take five days of work - inside and outside of the loss of more than the local procurement!
The bosses who really know what they're doing count.full cycle cost::
- The local factory is 30,000 dollars more expensiveBut installation is fast a week → earn 200,000 more production value;
- Chain Maintenance Local On-Call→ Loss of 80,000 for one day to avoid shutdown;
- Spare parts warehouse in the industrial park→ The motor was replaced with a new one in 2 hours.
If you ask me, the roller conveyor line is the veins of the shop and the local service is the on-the-go first aid kit - expensive? You'll understand when the hemorrhaging starts!
