 The manually operated roller conveyor is perhaps the most widely used type of conveyor in the package handling industry. Southern Systems manufactures virtually every type of roller, as well as side frames, meeting the requirements for most any application ranging from light-duty "dime store warehousing" to heavy-duty steel mill applications.
As a matter of continuing policy SSI utilizes low friction bearings of the highest quality in all rollers. All bearings are a replaceable feature that considerably enhances the life, performance, and durability of the total conveyor investment. Sealed-for-life (grease packed), and relubricable grease-fitting type bearings, are available and can be specially ordered. SSI Roller Conveyors are normally furnished with spring-loaded hex shafts, for ease of removal and replacement. In some special cases, either hog rings or cotter pins may be specified. Most of Southern System's roller conveyors can be adapted to belt conveyors or belt drive live roller conveyors "in the field". Most "P-series" rollers can be converted to chain driven live roller conveyors in the future, if desirable. |
