简体中文 Have you ever counted? Warehouse workers every day bending over to move goods to walk tens of thousands of steps, peak season sorting wrong a goods loss of thousands of ...... logistics costs like a black hole to swallow profits, in the end how to break?Power Roller Conveyor LineThis seemingly bulky guy, in fact, hidden in the warehouse to double the efficiency of the code. Today we will break open the crumbs to talk about - how to choose the right equipment, play the efficiency of the novice white!
First, why is the wrong choice of conveyor line, the warehouse is burning money every day?
I've seen quite a few factories planted on the first step.Blindly following the trend of buying equipment. For example, food factories with ordinary steel rollers, the results of rust pollution of goods; electronic factories selected low-bearing rollers, precision instruments fell to pieces ...... In fact, the selection of four strokes, to avoid the pit of 90%:
-
"Can you carry it?"
Weight of a single piece of cargo x number of pieces conveyed at the same time = total load. Remember.Roller load must leave a margin of 30%.For example, if you are transporting 20kg boxes, you have to choose a single roller model with 30kg capacity! For example, if you are transporting a 20kg box, you have to choose a model with a single roller load of 30kg, otherwise it will be deformed in half a year. -
Faster is not better.
take Recommended speed (m/min) for what reason? Manual assembly line 5-8 Avoid workers who can't keep up with operations Automatic Sorting System 15-25 Match the speed of response of the scanner cold chain warehouse 8-12 Prevents chain slippage at low temperatures -
Environmentally Fatal Details
- Wet shop →Stainless steel roller(Expensive but saves on maintenance)
- Dust workshop →Sealed bearing + dust cover(One hour less for dust removal)
- Cryogenic cold storage→Cold Resistant Lubricants(Turns at -25 degrees centigrade)

Don't let the installation screw up the schedule
Measure the door width in advance! A customer bought and found that the equipment could not enter the door, tearing down the wall cost an extra $80,000 ...... reminds you.Width of equipment = width of goods + 20cmThe turning radius is reserved for 1.5 times the length of the vehicle.
Secondly, choose the right material and cut the maintenance fee by half!
The most confusing thing for newcomers is the bunch of terms: galvanised? 304 stainless steel? Directly on the comparison:
| Material Type | Applicable Scenarios | life span | Unit Price Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galvanised steel rollers | Dry warehouse carton transport | 2-3 years | ¥200/pc |
| Food grade stainless steel | Fresh food/medical warehouse | More than 8 years | ¥600/pc |
| Polyurethane covered rollers | Slope skidding area | 5 years | ¥350/pc |
lesson learnt through blood and tearsAn automotive parts factory used galvanised rollers to save money, resulting in oil infiltration causing the chain to rust to death, stopping production for three days at a loss of ten times more expensive than the rollers!
Third, the soaring efficiency of the tawdry operation (masters will never be out of touch)
Why do people have 40% higher throughput than you on the same device?Three wildcards:
-
Dynamic speed adjustment
Reduce speed and save power at idle time, and increase speed with one key when warehouse is bursting. An e-commerce warehouse with inverter.Saved 20,000 on electricity bill during double eleven! -
building block" layout (computing)
Use powered rollers for straight areas and switch to non-powered chutes for bifurcations - save on motor costs and avoid traffic jams. Remember the mnemonic."Straights are electrified, curves depend on sliding." -
Lazy maintenance = chronic suicide
- Monthly: rags to wipe tracks + chain drops of lubricant (don't use bad oil!)
- Quarterly: tighten screws + check for roller deformation
- Annually: replacement of bearings (more cost-effective than scrapping the whole machine)
Fourth, the soul torture: expensive equipment must incense?
Q: The boss says imported equipment is more durable, should I bite the bullet?
A: Look at the throughput! Average daily shipments 2000 pieces before considering the German-Italian goods
Q: Are intelligent control systems an IQ tax?
A: Situational! A manual button is sufficient for small warehouses.Cross-floor automatic sorting lineMisami PLC control - sorters reduced from 30 to 8 after a logistics centre went online
When I first joined the industry, I also thought that conveyor lines were just iron bars with motors. Until I saw a warehouseUsing the wrong roller spacing causes mooncake gift boxes to get stuck into mountainsIt's only then that you understand how deep the water is in this business. Remember the core.Selection is not to choose the equipment, is to choose and the tacit understanding of goods. Feel the roller temperature on your next inspection - hot should be lubricated, cool means the motor is lazy ......
