Conveyor rollers

With the ever-increasing requirements in conveyor technology, especially in material handling, the demands on the materials used for the conveyed goods are also increasing. With increasing speed, one of the most important elements in drive technology must function reliably: the bearing. Conveyor rollers are available in a wide variety of designs: Driven conveyor rollers made of steel, stainless steel, aluminium or plastic. They are used to create a rolling contact between the conveyor frame and the conveyor belt.

Basically, conveyor rollers consist of a support axle, which is enclosed by a support sleeve, and deep groove ball bearings with flanges as end caps. Our conveyor rollers for roller conveyors can be used flexibly and can be fitted with different deep groove ball bearings depending on requirements. In addition to conveyor technology, xiros conveyor rollers with ball bearings are used in labelling technology, packaging and the food industry, where they can also take on the function of a return roller.

What are the advantages of our conveyor roller?

lubrication-free

The plastic ball bearings used are lubrication-free and require no further lubrication with grease. This means that the conveyor roller does not have to overcome the resistance of the lubricant and always runs smoothly. You save threefold: in maintenance, in weight and in price.

Directly from the manufacturer

xiros plastic ball bearings come from our factories and factories. You benefit not only from an immense variety direct from the manufacturer, for example compared to solutions in heavy steel, but also from years of experience from the industry's largest test laboratory for moving plastic.

Food-compliant

Some of our conveyor rollers can be used safely in food and beverage technology. They are chemically resistant to fatty acids or fats, for example. This is certified by the European Commission with Regulation 10/2011/EU based on Regulation 1935/2004/EC.

7 tips for choosing the right conveyor roller

There are several factors to consider when selecting a conveyor roller. Firstly, the load capacity is a decisive criterion. The conveyor roller must be able to safely bear the weight of the transported goods without becoming deformed, damaged or causing downtime. The durability of the conveyor roller is also very important. They should be made of materials with high wear resistance to ensure a long service life.

Rolling friction must also be taken into account. The conveyor rollers should have an optimum surface finish to ensure sufficient grip on the conveyor belt or the transported goods. This contributes to the stability and safety of the conveying process. Ease of assembly and maintenance also play a role, as this prevents downtime of the entire conveyor system.

Smooth running and 100% lubrication-free

Instead of metal solutions made of steel, which were too heavy and had to be lubricated, this labelling machine uses plastic ball bearings in up to 36 conveyor rollers. In this system, they ensure film transport in the form of film deflection. This has increased service life and reduced maintenance costs. To date, the plastic ball bearings have ensured smooth running of the conveyor rollers and uninterrupted operation of the system.
