In factories, logistics centres or production lines, roller conveyors, also known asroller conveyor, is one of the most common transport devices.
The principle is to use the synchronous rotation of the roller, the friction of the roller surface to promote the movement of the object. It is able to convey materials with large weight of single piece, or withstand large impact load, with large conveying capacity, fast speed, light and fast operation, and able to realise the characteristics of multi-variety common line shunt conveying.

I. Classification according to driving mode
1、Power roller conveyor
propulsionRoller ConveyorIt is an important type of roller conveyor, commonly used in horizontal or upward slightly inclined conveying lines.
2、No power roller conveyor
Simple design, space-saving, convenient installation, mainly used in the class of boxes, bags, pallets and other pieces of goods conveyor.
3、Accumulating roller conveyor
With speed regulation and temporary storage function, it can adjust the conveying speed according to the production demand to ensure stable operation, and it can also temporarily store the items to prevent the items from continuing to convey, and play the role of adjusting the spacing or rate of the items.

Two,Core differences
1. Power Roller
-Autonomous drive: no external force is required, speed and direction can be adjusted through the control system to realise automated transport.
-Scenarios: courier sorting lines, automotive assembly lines, airport baggage conveyor belts
-Load capacity: high (suitable for medium and heavy loads)

1. Non-Powered Roller Drives
-Passive response: no drive unit per se, the drum only provides support and rolling function, unable to move the goods autonomously.
-Represents scenarios: temporary racking in warehouses, lightweight material turnover areas
-Load capacity: low (suitable for light cargo)
2. Accumulation roller
-Drive optional: the drive can be motorised or electric drum, the accumulation can be achieved electronically or by a block.
-Representative scenarios: staging areas for heavy materials, staging and diverting goods in logistics centres
-Load capacity: capable of driving heavier loads, suitable for heavy-duty material conveying.
III. Different application scenarios
1,Power Rollerconveyors
-Automated production lines: e.g. home appliance assembly lines, precise control of transport rhythms
-Long distance transport: airport baggage systems for efficient terminal coverage
Climbing/turning scenarios: self-powered to overcome gravity or complex terrain.
2,Non-Powered Roller Drivesconveyors
-Temporary warehousing: temporary storage area for goods, which can be pushed manually
-Lightweight sorting: e-commerce small parts sorting, reducing equipment costs
Space-limited scenarios: e.g. small workshops, space-saving installations
3、Accumulating roller conveyor
-Heavy duty material staging: In logistics centres or factories, it is used for staging heavy duty materials and adjusting the spacing or rate of items.
-Logistics centre diversion: a cargo staging and diversion area in the logistics centre to ensure orderly delivery of goods.
-Complex production processes: In complex production processes, it is used for staging and adjusting the rhythm of material transport to ensure production efficiency.
