Gravity conveyor rollers from TORWEGGE
To optimally move your transport goods from one place to another, the choice of conveyor rollers is particularly important. They are mainly used for the transport of bulk goods and are used in conveyor belt systems. It is important that the idlers can rotate optimally on a bearing, as they are driven by gravity. We can supply you with different gravity conveyor rollers and driven conveyor rollers, all of which consist of a tube, an axle, a bearing and a bearing base. Driven conveyor rollers also have a drive element. All components have an influence on load capacity, smooth running and running accuracy, among other things. Which conveyor roller is the right one for you depends on the characteristics of the material to be conveyed.

Driven roller conveyor from TORWEGGE
A powered roller conveyor is a mechanical conveyor system designed to facilitate the transport of goods or materials in a factory, warehouse or production facility. The roller conveyor consists of a series of parallel rollers placed along the length of the conveyor. These rollers can be made of steel, plastic or other materials. Unlike a non-powered roller conveyor, where goods are moved manually or by gravity, the powered roller conveyor is operated by an electric drive motor. This motor drives one or more rollers, which then transfer the movement to the other rollers. This enables continuous and automatic transport of goods at a uniform speed. The powered roller conveyor offers numerous advantages, including increased efficiency, reduced reliance on manual labour, improved throughput and better control over the transport process. It can be used to transport cartons, crates, pallets and other goods of various sizes and weights. With the ability to be integrated into automated manufacturing and logistics systems, the powered roller conveyor plays an important role in optimising production flows and increasing the overall performance of industrial processes.
Roller tracks from TORWEGGE
With the use of roller rails, internal transport processes of piece goods and palletised goods can be optimised. For use in throughput machines or packaging machines, the transport of heavy goods in particular can be easily and simply automated. This reduces the workload of your employees and thus increases the efficiency of your transport processes. You too can benefit from roller rails and buy them now from TORWEGGE!
Ball transfer units from TORWEGGE
Ball transfer units are special components in materials handling technology that enable efficient and low-friction movement of loads. They consist of a ball mounted in a housing or ball capsule. This ball can rotate freely in all directions, which enables multidirectional movement. Due to their low friction, ball transfer units allow goods to be transported smoothly on conveyor lines. They are often used in applications where flexibility and manoeuvrability are required, such as in roller conveyors, conveyor belts or turntables. Ball transfer units allow loads to be moved, turned and steered effortlessly, even with heavy weights.
Conveyor wheels
Conveyor wheels are used for roller conveyors, flow racks and roller tracks. Depending on the materials you are transporting, you will need different coated rollers that can carry different loads.
