Rollers are the core component of powered roller conveyors, and the choice of their material directly affects the conveyor's performance and service life. When selecting roller materials, the following factors need to be considered:
Operating Environment: Different operating environments have different requirements for roller materials. For example, in low-temperature environments, galvanized carbon steel roller surfaces are typically used; in cold chain environments, 304 stainless steel roller surfaces are used to prevent rust and corrosion.
Friction Requirements: During incline and sloping transport, greater friction is required to prevent items from slipping. In this case, a rubber-coated roller surface can be designed to increase friction, while also protecting the roller surface and reducing noise.
