  • Precision bearings
  • Shaft brake
 

Application of stainless steel roller

 
  • Stainless steel rollers are often used in food processing plants, because this type of roller is water resistant and highly resistant to corrosion.
  • Application in the factory producing electronic components.
  • In addition, stainless steel roller conveyors are also widely used in transporting goods in many other industries to bring high efficiency to the production process, contributing to saving labor and hiring costs. always ensure that the production process takes place according to the right process, quickly and continuously.
 

Advantages of stainless steel rollers

 
  • This type of roller has a low coefficient of friction, no dust, and is waterproof.
  • Quiet and flexible operation.
  • The roller has good bearing capacity, stable working and long life.
  • Reasonable prices suitable for all businesses including small and medium enterprises.
  • The roller is rust and wear resistant.
 

Plastic Roller

 

 
  • Plastic rollers are one of the popular product lines in many manufacturing fields, especially in the transportation of goods.
  • Plastic rollers are designed with many different weights and are lighter in weight than other types of rollers, with high elasticity and good heat resistance.
  • Easily combined with other conveyor chains to create a flexible freight system.
 

Structure of plastic roller

 
  • The outer shell of the roller is covered with plastic which has good corrosion resistance.
  • Precision bearings
  • Zigzag . seal system
  • Inside the roller is a steel shaft, bearing support.
 

Application of plastic roller

 
  • Plastic rollers have a simple design, light weight, easy installation and repair, impact resistance, wear resistance and ability to work in chemical environments.
  • Plastic rollers are applied in production fields such as confectionery production, food production, container transportation, .. with different tonnages bringing high economic efficiency for businesses to use.
 

Types of plastic rollers:

 
  • PVC roller: common application in acidic and alkaline working environment at high concentration.
  • POM (polyoxymethylene resin) rollers: high rigidity rollers are often used to work in many harsh environmental conditions.
  • Nylon plastic roller: is a type of roller with good toughness, good abrasion resistance, so it is preferred by many customers.
  • PA (Polyamide) plastic roller: A roller with a smooth surface, good bearing capacity, less abrasion when working.
  • Teflon (PTFE) plastic roller: is a roller with low coefficient of friction, no adhesion, high heat resistance and good chemical resistance.
