In the internal circulation of bagged powdered goods in the warehouse, it is often necessary to move goods from one area to another, and sometimes the conveying path is not straight but requires a turn. In a recent case, the customer successfully used a rubber-covered Multi-Wedge Belt Powered Roller Conveyor to achieve 180-degree turning conveyance of bagged powder materials inside the warehouse, with the entire process remaining flexible and stable.
Case Scenario and Challenges
This scenario took place in the customer’s finished-goods warehouse. After the bagged powdered goods came off the production line, they needed to be conveyed for a certain distance and then turned 180 degrees before reaching the designated stacking or temporary storage area. The customer faced two main challenges: first, the surface of the bagged powder material is relatively smooth, so during turning it is prone to slipping, shifting, or even toppling due to insufficient centrifugal force or friction; second, warehouse space is limited, so the conveying line must be compact and flexible enough to adapt to the on-site layout, while traditional fixed conveyor lines cannot meet this flexible turning requirement.
Solution: Rubber-Covered Multi-Wedge Belt Powered Roller Conveyor
To address the above challenges, we configured [product slug="powered-rubber-roller-conveyor-multi-wedge-belt"] . The core advantage of this equipment is that the roller surface is wrapped with a rubber layer. For bagged goods, especially smooth woven bags, the rubber layer can significantly increase the friction coefficient and effectively prevent the goods from slipping during conveyance, particularly when turning.
The multi-wedge belt drive provides smooth power transmission, ensuring that each roller rotates synchronously and evenly, making goods movement more stable and controllable. The equipment adopts a modular design and can be flexibly assembled and arranged according to the required turning radius and angle on site, perfectly achieving the 180-degree turning conveying path required by the customer.
Equipment Application Results and Advantages
In practical use, this conveyor system has shown remarkable results. When the bagged powder materials enter the turning section, the rubber-covered rollers provide sufficient traction, allowing the goods to move smoothly along the roller surface without slipping or accumulation. The entire conveying process is smooth, with even spacing between goods, creating favorable conditions for subsequent stacking or loading.
Its advantages are summarized as follows:
- Anti-slip and Stable: The rubber-covered roller design is specifically made for goods such as bags and cartons that require a high friction coefficient, and it is especially reliable when turning.
- Flexible Deployment: The modular structure allows the equipment to be laid out in a customized way according to the warehouse layout, including straight sections, curved sections, and other forms, solving the problem of inflexible fixed routes.
- Controlled Movement: Powered drive makes the movement speed of goods controllable, enabling precise conveying within the "last working distance, " reducing the burden of manual handling and improving circulation efficiency.
Expanded Applications in Similar Scenarios
This solution, which uses a rubber-covered roller conveyor to solve turning conveyance for bagged goods, has broad applicability. It is not only suitable for powder materials, but can also be used for Bagged Feed Loading and Unloading Solution, Bagged Textile Loading Solution and similar scenarios. When the conveying path needs to adapt to a complex warehouse environment, its flexibility becomes even more valuable.
For loading and unloading from the warehouse to the truck, if there is a height difference, it can be used together with medium climbing conveyor to form a complete loading and unloading system.
