Gravity Conveyor belts are basic but still very useful machines. They can help shift boxes, packages or other objects from point A to point B and don’t require a motor or electricity. The conveyor belt is at a mild incline, so gravity does the work for you that helps loose objects slide or roll down. These conveyors are durable and reliable due to their heavy duty construction, perfect for all sorts of warehouses or factories that store a variety of products. Powerless, they save money and are easier to keep going. But, as with any machine, things can go wrong. Understanding what can go wrong and how to fix it can help keep things flowing smoothly.
In some instances a gravity conveyor belt just isn’t working properly. Is there something that you’re noticing tends not to work quite right? This is likely to happen if the belt becomes dirty or the rollers are clogged. Dust or small garbage could, for instance, get jammed between rollers leaving the belt to slow down or stop. It could also be that the conveyor belts is set at the incorrect angle. If it is too flat, the items will not slide down, and if is too steep an angle, they may fall off. BEDROCK’s conveyors feature adjustable angles, however sometimes those ranges get inadvertently bumped. This can be easily corrected: simply test the angle and adjust it to the size that feels best for what you’re moving. Rollers can wear out after extended use. Old or damaged rollers spin poorly and lead to jams. Timely checks and replacement of worn rollers keep the belt functioning properly. On some guns the frame itself may be bent or loose. This may result in the belt sway or being misaligned. Tightening bolts or adjusting the frame goes a long way. One tricky thing is that problems can come on gradually. That little bit of dirt today can become a big jam tomorrow. So yes, cleaning and checking regularly are important. When you spot a problem, correcting it immediately is a time-saving and trouble-preventing remedy. BEDROCK’s story is typical: In most cases, most problems arise from simple causes and can be fixed rapidly with the right care.
Gravity conveyor belts run best for warehouses hoping to conserve funds. Because these are not motorized conveyors, there is no electricity involved. And all of this should lead to lower bills, and fewer parts that can break. For instance, in a bustling warehouse, a motorized belt requires regular maintenance and power, but a gravity belt merely needs to be inspected for cleanliness and roller health. BEDROCK’s incline conveyor belt are built solid and can withstand years of use, and the low maintenance process means less downtime for your business. And they are easy to move and set up, too. If a warehouse is rearranged, gravity conveyors can be relocated or reconfigured with little expense. This helps companies stay flexible. Another good thing is safety. There are fewer opportunities for electrical mishaps or injury from spinning parts that potentially can snag a hand or clothing, without motors. That said, workers still need to be careful around running items and keep the belts clean. Gravity conveyor belts also facilitate the work by increasing flow of items. This may result in a reduction of the risk that workers have to bear heavy loads and thus neither contribute to incidents nor getting tired. Some clients operate from warehouses of only a few thousand square feet, while others have well over 100,000 square feet; BEDROCK’s conveyor systems are available in various sizes and styles. They can be added to other equipment to create a seamless system for transporting goods. These are just a few reasons why gravity conveyor belts make sound investments for warehouses that want to save money, work safe, and keep jobs rolling without interruptions.
Gravity conveyor belts are simple machines that can help move heavy things from one place to another without using motors. They don’t rely on electromagnetic interaction, but gravity. When a box or package gets put on the belt, it rolls down that incline. We take pride in ensuring that all of our gravity conveyor belts are exceptionally durable and rugged enough to handle even the toughest use. One is the material used for the belt. It has to be very durable as not to rip or break when heavy things are laid in it. Some more of those clever building techniques yes but if anything the biggest selling point in BEDROCK is the solid and sturdy construction materials – they used think this to cope with carrying weight so that it won’t fall apart and get torn through over time. Also very important are the rollers under the belt. They need to turn easily and be made of sturdy metals or plastics that do not stick or flake. This will ensure that the heavy objects will move quickly and safely without interference. Yet another important aspect is the skeleton of the band conveyor. Solid steel builds maintain safe and steady support for your trailer and everything it holds. Side frames prevent the belt from bending or swaying, except in the case of very large boxes weighing hundreds of pounds. Belt size and the distance between rollers are also designed to be quite precise. Should the rollers be spaced too far apart, a heavy item might become jammed or tumble. BEDROCK makes the rollers near enough to hold heavy packages and to let them roll. Additionally, the surface of the belt is typically designed to offer some grip, so that packages don’t slip as they move. 4) A long lasting gravity conveyor belt should be simple to install and maintain. All BEDROCK belts are designed to have easy adjustment for height or angle. This allows workers to adjust the belt just right for various tasks. Taken as a whole—robust material, seamless rollers, stout frames and smart design—BEDROCK gravity conveyor rollers are ideal for moving heavy loads safely.
Distribution centers are hustle-bustle locations that require large numbers of packages and boxes to be safely moved quickly. That’s where gravity conveyor belts can be of great help. With our gravity conveyor belts, you can get work done faster at your center. Because when the mouth ain’t breathing well, air flow is simply not getting through. First, gravity conveyor belts help save energy in that they require no motors or electricity to operate. This is less power being pulled from the center and less money that it has to spend. And, as the belts are gravity fed, they are virtually silent. This can help employees focus more and improve the comfort of working at the business. A second way BEDROCK’s gravity conveyor belts help speed up production is by accelerating the transferring process. Instead of workers carrying heavy boxes by hand, they can set them on the belt; the packages will roll through quickly to the next station. This helps to save time and efforts. And because the belts move packages smoothly and steadily, there is less risk that items will become damaged. That translates into fewer mistakes and therefore less waste. Gravity conveyor can be installed in almost any configuration with many lengths. At BEDROCK, we assist distribution centers to design conveyor patching that is applicable to their space and requirements. This flexibility allows packages to flow smoothly through the center as efficiently as possible, without clogs and bottlenecks. Rather than carrying heavy items, workers can concentrate on packing, sorting and checking goods, which means they work faster and safer. Lastly, gravity conveyor rollers are straightforward to use and have a short learning curve. New hires can quickly master how to place packages on the belt and keep them flowing. This makes it easier for the entire distribution center to function. In addition, gravity BEDROCK conveyor belts save energy, decrease damage to your inventory and the workplace by providing simpler, faster movement. All of these improvements enable distribution centers to operate more effectively each day.
