What are roller conveyors?

Roller conveyors are modular conveying systems with freely rotating rollers used to transport goods within production, logistics, or storage areas. At Montech, roller conveyors consist of robust aluminium profiles and precisely mounted rollers that ensure smooth, low-maintenance material flow.

How do roller conveyors work?

Roller conveyors move goods over a series of rollers arranged one after another, either by gravity or with a powered drive. Montech uses rollers mounted in precision bearings to guarantee quiet, consistent conveying performance.

What types of roller conveyors are available?

There are various types of roller conveyors that differ in structure and number of lanes, including single-lane, double-lane, and multi-lane versions, as well as specialised configurations for large or bulky goods. Montech offers single-track roller conveyors, double-track versions of the RB4020/5025 series, multi-track conveyor systems with freely combinable tracks, and tandem roller conveyors with extra-wide lanes for large-volume products. Multi-track systems can be individually configured with different conveyor widths, roller spacing, and conveyor lengths.

Where are roller conveyors used?

Roller conveyors are used in many industries including logistics, manufacturing, automotive, food and packaging, and recycling. They are ideal for transporting goods with a stable underside. At Montech, roller conveyors are primarily used for internal material flow in production, assembly, and warehouse areas, ensuring efficient and consistent transport.

What types of goods can be transported on roller conveyors?

Suitable goods include items with a stable, flat underside such as cartons, boxes, containers, workpieces, or components. Montech systems can convey small, large, or bulky goods depending on the conveyor type.

What is the maximum load capacity of a roller conveyor?

The load capacity depends on factors such as roller diameter, wall thickness, material, and axle spacing. RB5025 rollers can carry up to 20 kg per roller, enabling reliable transport of larger or heavier items. The exact load rating is adapted to the selected conveyor type and conveyor length.

How much space do I need for a roller conveyor?

Space requirements depend on conveyor length, the width of the conveyed goods, the support structure, and necessary safety clearance. Thanks to their modular design, Montech roller conveyors can be customised to fit existing production or warehouse layouts.

What are the advantages of roller conveyors?

Roller conveyors provide efficient, low-maintenance, and consistent material flow while reducing manual handling. Montech relies on precision components, modular construction, and fast delivery times, including for customer-specific configurations.

Can roller conveyors be integrated into existing systems?

Yes. Roller conveyors are modular and can be flexibly combined with other equipment. Montech systems can be integrated with belt conveyors, aluminium framing systems, transfer systems, or custom structures.

What warranty do roller conveyors have?

Montech roller conveyors come with a 2-year warranty from the date of delivery.

How quickly are roller conveyors delivered?

Delivery time depends on the configuration and conveyor length. Thanks to Montech’s modular system, standardised roller conveyors and many customer-specific variants can be produced quickly. Typical delivery time is 7 working days. The exact schedule is confirmed in the quotation or during project planning.

Is there a configurator for roller conveyors?

A roller conveyor configurator is planned. Until it is available, roller conveyors can be planned according to customer specifications in close coordination with the Montech team to ensure an optimal system design.

Are roller conveyors shipped worldwide?

Yes. Roller conveyors can be shipped worldwide. The modular design allows for transport-optimised packaging and efficient shipping. Exact delivery times and conditions are provided during the quotation or project planning phase.

Roller conveyors for production, storage, and logistics

Montech’s RB4020 and RB5025 roller conveyors are used for internal transport of workpieces, containers, and goods. They are suitable for applications in production, storage, and logistics, and can be adapted to the material conveyed.

Conveyor width, axis distance, and line length can be selected with millimeter precision. Depending on the application, two carrying roller diameters and different designs are available, with or without an end stop. Side guides and substructures made of the MPS aluminum framing system can also be used.

RB4020/5025
single-track

The gravity roller conveyors from Montech set new standards. Instead of predefined track widths, center distances or conveyer lengths, Montech offers freely selectable dimensions – accurate to a fraction of an inch and custom fit to the application.

The double-track roller conveyor transports the product on two parallel tracks and therefore with twice the number of idlers – for maximum stability at high loads.

Conveying width up to 2025 mm for large, bulky products. You determine the width of the support on both sides yourself – there is space in the middle for access from below.

A personally customized roller conveyor system with several tracks. Different conveyer widths, roller spacings and track lengths – (almost) anything is possible.

In the store you will find accessories such as side guides and floor stands, but also idler rollers as spare parts.
