HDPE conveyor belt rollers
A roller consists of a bearing set or drive on one side. Belt rollers made of HDPE plastic tubes (high-density polyethylene) have also been developed especially for the food industry. As a drive element, you can usually choose between a round belt or V-ribbed belt drive, chain or toothed belt wheel.

Synchronous motors score points for economy
Motorized rollers and drum motors are recommended for clean and quiet conveying operations. The advantages of these modules are that they are oil-free and the low self-heating of the synchronous motors, resulting in energy-saving use. These drives are interesting for applications in the food sector or in cold stores as well as for use in high ambient temperatures. With protection class IP66 as standard and IP69K as an option, the synchronous motors can withstand intensive cleaning processes. These units are manufactured by our partner company Momentum, which specializes in motor rollers and drum motors.

The 726 series of roller tracks with their hermetically sealed rollers and antibacterial components are suitable for applications in the food sector, in chemical plants and in sterile cleanroom environments. The roller strips can withstand industrial cleaning agents, including hydrochloric acid. The rollers are available cylindrical or with a flange.
