Roller Conveyors: Simple, Robust, Cost-Effective
Containers, boxes, pallets, load carriers: Anything with a solid base moves most cost-effectively on rollers. Our roller conveyors are available in powered versions for defined cycle times or as gravity conveyors for simple routes—supplemented by idler corner transfer units when the material being conveyed needs to change direction. Designed for continuous operation, with low maintenance requirements and rollers tailored to the weight of your material.
Belt Conveyors: Gentle and Flexible
Small parts, delicate surfaces, irregular shapes: Where rollers reach their limits, the belt takes over. Our belt conveyors move packaging units and individual items of various sizes safely and gently—even over long distances and inclines. The belt selection depends on the material being conveyed and the environment; the frame is manufactured in our own steel fabrication shop.
Which sponsor is right for you? A quick guide
| Criterion | Roller Conveyor | Belt Conveyor |
|---|---|---|
| Material to be conveyed | solid surface (containers, pallets) | small parts, delicate, irregular |
| Accumulation / Backup | quite possible (traffic cones) | Subject to conditions—better to transfer to a conveyor belt |
| Gradients | limited | well-suited |
| Typical strength | Efficiency, Distribution, Discharge | Gentle transport, long distances |
You don't have to decide in advance—just tell us what will be transported, and we'll recommend the right design. Often, the best solution is a combination of both systems within a single route.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the material being conveyed: a solid floor surface calls for rollers, while small or delicate items are better suited for a belt. We provide guidance based on the material, the route, and the cycle time—and combine both systems when it makes sense to do so.
Yes—the modular design is intended precisely for that purpose. We adapt the dimensions, drives, and transfer points to your existing system and expand the line as your production grows.
Both systems are capable of handling light to heavy loads; for the roller conveyor, the choice of rollers and the pitch determine the limit.
Load-bearing ranges:
| Conveyor Type | Light Goods Section | Medium Range | Heavy-Duty Section | Main Cargo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Belt Conveyor (Flat Belt) |
up to about 30 kg/m | up to about 100 kg/m | up to over 500 kg/m (higher for special belts) | Bulk goods, packages, boxes, loose small parts |
Roller Conveyor (powered) |
up to about 50 kg per roll | up to about 150 kg per roll | up to 1,500 kg (or more) per pallet/roll | Pallets, mesh bins, containers with solid bottoms |
Both models are specifically designed to require minimal maintenance. We can quickly supply wear parts such as rollers and belts—with an after-sales maintenance contract available upon request.
Yes—we manufacture according to your layout, not according to a catalog grid. We also build corner transfer units, discharge chutes, and interfaces with third-party systems to fit your specifications exactly.
