Part of the Roller Conveyor range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.

Key Benefits

  • Enables curve conveying at 30, 45, 60, or 90 degrees for product routing without powered diverters
  • Adjustable leg height allows for level alignment across uneven floor surfaces
  • Simple integration into existing conveyor lines with standard frame profiles
  • Available in multiple frame and roller materials to suit different environments
  • Supports flat-bottomed products with consistent, low-friction movement

Application Scenarios

  • Curve transitions between straight conveyor sections in warehouse material flow
  • Assembly lines where product needs to change direction without powered guidance
  • Packaging lines with limited space requiring compact curve conveyors
  • Indoor logistics systems where floor level differences must be compensated
  • Production lines using flat-bottomed components that must follow a curved path

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building custom flow lines with directional changes
  • Industrial distributors stocking gravity conveyors for curve applications
  • Warehouse and logistics contractors installing indoor conveying systems
  • Assembly line builders needing smooth product routing at turns
  • Manufacturers integrating conveyors into production cells with space constraints

Problems It Solves

  • Product jamming or misalignment when transitioning from straight to curved sections
  • Need for powered diverters in low-speed, low-volume curve conveyance
  • Uneven floor surfaces causing conveyor tilt and product instability
  • Lack of standard curve solutions that match existing straight conveyor heights
  • Inconsistent load handling when using generic or non-rated curved rollers

Technical Features

  • Inner radius of 900 mm for consistent curve performance at standard angles
  • Adjustable leg height from 300 mm to 1000 mm to match floor and line levels
  • Frame profile of 120*30*3 mm for structural rigidity and mounting compatibility
  • Roller material options: carbon steel, SUS304, or engineer plastic for different wear and environment needs
  • Taper sleeve design for secure roller shaft retention and alignment

Materials

  • Carbon steel frame and rollers for general industrial use
  • SUS304 frame and rollers for corrosion resistance in humid or washdown areas
  • Engineer plastic rollers for lightweight, low-friction, and non-marking applications

Quality Control

  • Frame alignment checked to ensure consistent roller height across the width
  • Roller rotation tested by hand to confirm free movement and no binding
  • Load capacity verified against the 100 kg or 50 kg rating for the model
  • Material grade confirmed against the frame and roller options ordered
  • Leg height adjustment verified to operate smoothly across full range

Customization Options

  • Choose between ZWD1 (100 kg load) and ZWD2 (50 kg load) based on product weight
  • Select roller material: carbon steel, SUS304, or engineer plastic
  • Select frame material: carbon steel or SUS304
  • Adjust inside width within 300–1000 mm range
  • Select curve angle: 30°, 45°, 60°, or 90°

Use Guide

  • Ensure the product has a flat bottom to maintain contact with rollers
  • Verify that the total load per conveyor section does not exceed the 100 kg or 50 kg rating
  • Adjust leg height to match adjacent conveyor lines and prevent product drop
  • Use SUS304 or engineer plastic rollers in wet, clean, or high-purity environments
  • Select the appropriate curve angle based on the required turning radius and space available

Compared With Other Options

Powered curve conveyorsGravity curve conveyors are lower cost and require no power, but cannot handle heavy or inconsistent loads
Straight gravity conveyorsCurve conveyors allow directional change, but require more precise alignment and support
Custom welded curvesStandardized curve conveyors integrate faster and are easier to replace, but offer less flexibility in radius or angle
