Roller Conveyor Systems

Smart motion, seamless flow.

Product Overview

Roller conveyor systems are among the most commonly deployed solutions for internal material transport. Whether handling parcels, totes, boxes, or pallets, LEADOR’s Roller Conveyors offer a balance of structural robustness, motion control, and seamless integration into warehouse or factory operations. Configurations range from non-powered gravity systems to intelligent Motorized Drive Roller (MDR) systems with zone-based logic and energy optimization.

Designed for modular adaptability, our systems cover diverse layout requirements including straight runs, curves, merges, and transfers. LEADOR ensures each roller conveyor not only transports but also integrates — with smart controls, safety features, and end-to-end system connectivity.
Our roller conveyors offer robust reliability, exceptional flexibility, and a wide range of configurations to precisely meet your specific throughput and item handling needs. From simple gravity lines to advanced powered and accumulation systems, optimize your internal transport and elevate overall operational efficiency.

Introduction & Core Benefits

Leador Tech’s Roller Conveyors are fundamental components in any modern material handling system, providing efficient and reliable transport for goods of various shapes and sizes. These conveyors consist of a series of rollers mounted within a frame, allowing items to move smoothly along a predefined path. Our comprehensive range includes gravity roller conveyors, powered roller conveyors (line shaft, chain-driven, or O-belt driven), and accumulation roller conveyors (zero-pressure). This versatility makes them indispensable for applications across warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, assembly lines, and order fulfillment processes.

Our roller conveyors are designed to handle an extensive array of items, including cartons, totes, pallets, drums, and various irregularly shaped goods. With options for different roller materials, diameters, and spacing, we can precisely match the conveyor to your specific product characteristics, ensuring stable and reliable transport.

Leador Tech’s roller conveyors feature a highly modular design, allowing for easy configuration, reconfiguration, and expansion. Whether you need straight sections, curves, inclines/declines, or merges/diverges, our systems can be quickly adapted to evolving operational layouts and throughput demands. This inherent flexibility reduces future modification costs.

Built with heavy-duty frames, precision-engineered rollers, and durable drive components (for powered systems), our roller conveyors are designed for continuous, demanding industrial environments. This robust construction translates to minimal downtime, extended operational life, and low maintenance requirements, ensuring your material flow is consistently reliable.

From simple gravity conveyors requiring no power, to advanced zero-pressure accumulation conveyors with energy-saving zoned drives, Leador Tech offers cost-effective solutions for every budget and requirement. Our powered systems feature efficient motors and controls, contributing to reduced energy consumption and a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Roller Conveyor Types

01. Gravity Roller Conveyors

Principle: Utilize gravity to move items down a slight incline. Requires no power, offering the most economical solution. Applications: Assembly lines, picking areas, temporary lines, light manufacturing, short-distance transport where elevation changes are present.

02. Powered Roller Conveyors

Principle: Rollers are actively driven by motors. Common drive types include line shaft, chain-driven, or O-belt driven. Ideal for horizontal movement, inclines, and declines. Applications: Main transport lines, accumulation zones, merges/diverges, integration with automated machinery, medium to heavy-duty transport.

03. Accumulation Roller Conveyors

Principle: Designed to allow items to accumulate without touching each other (zero-pressure accumulation). Rollers are typically driven by independent zones. Applications: Buffer zones before sorters or packing stations, singulation lines, sequential feeding for automated equipment, order accumulation.

Key Features & Advantages Our comprehensive range includes gravity roller conveyors, powered roller conveyors (line shaft, chain-driven, or O-belt driven), and accumulation roller conveyors (zero-pressure). This versatility makes them indispensable for applications across warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, assembly lines, and order fulfillment processes. Space-Saving Design Compact unit installed within conveyor frame, no external footprint needed. Quick Diversion: Instant pop-up actuation in under 0.5 seconds. Flexible Angles 30° or 90° diversion to match facility layout. Gentle Handling Smooth engagement, ideal for cartons, totes, and shrink-wrapped parcels. Minimal Maintenance Simple mechanical design and fast access for inspection or replacement.

LEADOR’s Roller Conveyor systems are composed of modular sub-systems:

Straight Conveyors – Main transport lines with optional side guides
Curved Sections – Enable routing flexibility within tight layouts
Merge & Diverge Units – Manage multi-line convergence
Pop-up Transfers – Directional shifts (typically 90°)
Lift Gates – Allow walk-through access points
Support Frames – Height-adjustable and anti-vibration design
Photoelectric Sensors & Control Modules – Real-time item detection and zone logic

The fundamental operating principle of roller conveyors lies in their use of evenly spaced cylindrical rollers, which support and drive the items forward. Depending on the configuration, these rollers are:
Gravity-fed for passive movement (relying on slope and load weight)
Chain or belt-driven for continuous powered motion
Driven by brushless DC motors (MDR), offering zoned actuation and intelligent controls
In MDR systems, each zone contains a sensor and a motorized roller that activates only when a load is detected — minimizing energy usage, improving safety, and reducing noise.
