KS KSM Series Ball Transfer Units
KS and KSM units are the spring-loaded and stainless families. The spring version keeps the ball in contact with an uneven or light load — useful under thin sheet and light trays — while the stainless bodies are specified for wash-down, food and pharmaceutical lines.

Two very different problems, one series: light loads that ride over a dead ball instead of turning it, and plated steel bodies that corrode within weeks of a caustic wash cycle.
How to choose
Specify stainless where cleaning chemicals or product contact are involved. Choose the spring-loaded version where the load is too light to seat a standard ball reliably or where the conveyed surface is not flat.
Typical applications
- Wash-down packing lines in food and beverage plants
- Pharmaceutical and clean-room transfer plates
- Thin sheet and tray handling where spring loading keeps contact
- Humid and outdoor-adjacent areas where plating would fail
Where KS KSM Series is specified
Food and Beverage Packing
Stainless ball transfer units, wash-down motor rollers and drum motors for lines that get hosed down every shift.
IndustryAirport and Baggage Handling
Check-in ball transfer plates, belt conveyor drum motors and transfer sections for baggage lines.
SolutionBall Transfer Tables and Transfer Plates
Laying out a ball table so an operator can rotate and align a load with one hand, and so the units survive the way the load arrives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are stainless ball transfer units fully stainless?
The body and load ball are stainless in the stainless models; confirm the support ball material on the drawing if the unit will be in direct product contact.
What does spring loading actually do?
It pushes the load ball up against the product so light or slightly warped items still rotate the ball instead of sliding over it.
