Ball bearing conveyors

Movement

Ball bearing conveyors guarantee smooth and precise movement and transport and are characterised by total modularity and rapid assembly even where there are pre-existing structures.

They are a versatile solution for handling – even manually – and improve movement during package loading and unloading in addition to other production phases, for example during assembly, boxing or packaging.

Our ball bearing conveyors are made in zinc-coated steel or painted with high-resistence paints in customer selected colours; stand dimensions are modular and customisable. They guarantee light-weight but very sturdy conveyors that can permit easy and very precise product movment. The ball bearings, available in various dimensions, can be retractable, and can be configured to suit various materials. The use of ball bearing conveyors as part of a system reduces operator intervention to a minimum during handling procedures, guaranteeing safety and limiting physical exertion throughout a number of processes. They allow immediate change of direction in manual transport systems and facilitate rotation and movement of the item being processed when used on work surfaces.

Once you have positioned your item or package on the ball bearing conveyor you can
check its quality, apply a label, rotate it or simply transfer it quickly in any direction. They are usually used in lines where there are a number of unloading conveyors and where the operator is responsable for choosing the direction of the package or product.
