Roller Conveyor

Neo Conveyors is a trusted roller conveyor manufacturer in India since 2007, manufacturing both gravity-driven free roller conveyors and motorised powered roller conveyors for warehouses, logistics centres, packaging lines, and industrial plants across the country. Roller conveyors are uniquely versatile — gravity models need zero power to operate, while powered models deliver precisely controlled speed for automated production flows. As a specialist roller conveyor manufacturer in India, every system we build is engineered around your product dimensions, load weight, and floor layout — manufactured at our Ghaziabad plant and installed by our own engineers, PAN India.

Two Types — One Decision: Gravity or Powered?

The most important question when specifying a roller conveyor is simple: does your product need to move under its own weight, or does it need a motor to drive it? The answer determines everything — cost, maintenance, speed control, and integration capability.

Factor	Free Roller Conveyor (Gravity)	Powered Roller Conveyor
Drive	No motor — gravity or manual push	Electric motor — controlled speed
Power cost	Zero — no electricity needed	Minimal — energy-efficient drives
Speed control	Fixed by slope angle	Adjustable via VFD control
Best for	Sloped runs, accumulation, dispatch	Flat lines, automation, sorters
Maintenance	Extremely low — no motor parts	Low — simple roller drive system
Typical use	Warehouse picking, dispatch, packing	Production lines, assembly, e-commerce sorters

Where Roller Conveyors Outperform Belt Conveyors

Roller conveyors and belt conveyors are often compared, but they serve different purposes. Here is where a roller conveyor is the better choice for your plant:

Situation	Why Roller Conveyor Wins
Heavy pallets and crates	Rollers support high point loads without belt wear or damage
Accumulation required	Products can queue on rollers without motor overload — unlike belts
Zero power budget available	Gravity roller needs no electricity — lowest operating cost of any conveyor
Products with flat, rigid bases	Roller suits boxes, cartons, totes, trays, and pallets — not bags or loose material
Manual push or gravity slope	Gravity roller replaces manual carrying at near-zero cost
Frequent maintenance access needed	Individual rollers can be replaced without dismantling the full conveyor

For loose material, bags, or products without a flat base, see: Belt Conveyors.

Key Features

•      Gravity or powered: Choose zero-power gravity operation or motorised speed control — same robust frame construction

•      Heavy load capacity: Up to 500 kg per metre — handles pallets, heavy crates, and industrial containers

•      Sealed ball bearings: Grease-filled sealed bearings in every roller — long service life with minimal maintenance

•      Custom roller pitch: Roller spacing matched to your smallest product — prevents products falling between rollers

•      Accumulation zones: Gravity roller naturally accumulates products — ideal for buffer zones and picking stations

•      Multiple roller materials: MS, galvanised, SS, or PVC roller shells — selected for your product and environment

•      Modular design: Sections can be extended, joined, or curved — adapts as your layout grows

•      Low maintenance: Individual roller replacement without full line stoppage — fastest maintenance of any conveyor type

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a free roller conveyor and a powered roller conveyor?

A free roller conveyor uses gravity or manual push — no motor, no electricity. It works on a slight slope or at a flat accumulation station. A powered roller conveyor uses an electric motor to drive the rollers at a controlled speed — ideal for flat automated lines and integration with production machinery.

What products can roller conveyors handle?

Products with flat, rigid bases — cardboard boxes, wooden crates, plastic totes, metal trays, pallets, and similar rigid containers. Roller conveyors are not suitable for bags, loose materials, or products without a stable base. For those, see our Belt Conveyors.

What is the roller pitch and why does it matter?

Roller pitch is the centre-to-centre distance between rollers. It must be set so that every product always rests on at least 3 rollers at any point — preventing it from falling between rollers or tilting. Our engineers calculate the correct pitch for your smallest product before manufacture.

What is the maximum load capacity?

Up to 500 kg per metre depending on roller diameter, frame specification, and bearing rating. For very heavy loads — steel castings, dies, large pallets — our engineers will specify the correct roller and frame combination.

Can roller conveyors be made food-grade?

Yes. Stainless steel frame and roller shells with sealed, food-grade bearings available for food processing, cold storage, dairy, and pharmaceutical environments.

What is the price of a roller conveyor in India?

Price depends on conveyor type (gravity or powered), roller specification, frame width and length, and material. Contact Neo Conveyors for a detailed no-obligation quotation.

Do you install across India?

Yes — PAN India installation by our own engineers. Details at www.neoconveyors.com/technical-support.
