简体中文 First, the industry characteristics: your production scenarios determine the conveyor line gene
Why is it common for automotive assembly lines to use power roller lines, while food factories favour stainless steel belt lines?Industry specificity is the first threshold for selection. There are fundamental differences in the load-bearing strength, hygiene level and environmental adaptability of conveyor lines for different production scenarios:
- Manufacturing (automotive/machinery): Heavy parts conveying requires high load bearing (single roller driving force ≥ 1 tonne), impact resistant design.Sprocket Drive Power Rolleris preferred (quote). For example, body conveying needs to be resistant to oily environments, and hard chrome plated rollers protect against corrosion.
- Food and Pharmaceutical Industry: health and safety is at the centre.Food grade stainless steel + seamless beltAvoid microbial growth (citation). Synchronous belt conveyor lines have become the standard for vaccine filling lines due to their easy cleaning and low noise characteristics.
- E-commerce logistics: sorting efficiency determines competitiveness.Adjustable speed power roller line + automatic diverting systemAchievement of 10,000 parcels per hour processing (quote) Double sprocket drive guarantees 24 hours continuous operation without lagging.

Second, the material characteristics: weight, size, shape of the precise match
The material is the service object of the conveying line, and its characteristics directly determine the technical parameters.A mistake in selection can lead to damage to the goods or to an accidental shutdown. Selection errors can lead to cargo breakage or downtime accidents:
- Three-dimensional assessment rule::
- weightsFlat belt lines are suitable for ≤50kg; O-belt power roller is the choice for 50-500kg; >500kg must be used with speed doubling chain (single section can carry up to 4 tonnes).
- sizesRoller length = width of goods + (50-100mm), spacing ≤ 1/3 of the length of the goods (anti-tipping). For example, to convey 1.2m long carton, the roller spacing should be ≤400mm.
- morphological::
- Bulk/small pieces →Enclosed belt lineanti-dropout
- Pallets/containers →Heavy Duty Power Roller Line(with lateral flaps)
- Fragile →Rubber-coated rollersVibration damping and noise reduction (Shore hardness of 85±3 degrees is optimal)
Typical Misconceptions Warning: If galvanised rollers are used in the lithium battery industry, zinc ion contamination may lead to short-circuiting of the battery - they must be used!Stainless steel + zinc ban process.
III. Environment and effectiveness: a balancing act between cost and sustainability
Why does the same roller break down so often in the Northeast factory but run smoothly in the Guangdong workshop?Environmental adaptation is often underestimated::
-
Countermeasures for extreme environments::
- Low temperature (below -25°C): Plastic materials (embrittlement) are prohibited.All-steel rollers + low-temperature lubricantIt's the only solution.
- High humidity/corrosive environments: 201 stainless steel is only weakly corrosion-resistant, chemical workshops need to be304 Stainless Steel + Cladding Acid Resistant(citation needed)
- Dusty workshop: polygonal belt drives are prone to slippage,...Enclosed sprocket driveReliability Enhancement 40%
-
Effectiveness cost formula::
Total Cost = Purchase Price × Maintenance Cycle + Energy Consumption × Loss of Downtime
Case: A logistics centre upgraded ordinary motors toPermanent magnet synchronous drum motorsThe energy consumption is reduced by 351 TP3T, and the retrofit cost is recovered in 2 years.
The selection of power conveyor line is a systematic project. When you clarify the industry's genes, eat through the language of materials, calculate the environmental accounts, that hidden in the specifications behind the parameters of the "optimal solution to the conveyor line" will surface - it is not only a material handling tools, but also through the production of invisible arteries of the two veins.
