A sorting conveyor , also known as a gravity roller conveyor or roller conveyor system, is a material handling equipment used to transport items or products smoothly and efficiently along a fixed path. Here's a description of a typical conveyor roller table:

1. Construction: A conveyor roller table consists of the following main components:

   • Rollers: The conveyor rollers are cylindrical tubes or bars mounted horizontally between frames, spaced evenly along the length of the conveyor. These rollers rotate freely on their axles, allowing products to move smoothly along the conveyor.
   • Frame Structure: The frame structure provides support and stability for the conveyor rollers. It is typically made of steel or aluminum and may feature adjustable legs to accommodate different heights or inclinations.
   • Side Guides: Some conveyor roller tables include side guides or rails along the edges of the conveyor to prevent products from falling off the sides during transportation.
   • End Stops: At the ends of the conveyor, there may be end stops or barriers to prevent products from sliding off the conveyor and to facilitate loading and unloading.
   • Bearings and Axles: The rollers are mounted on bearings and axles, allowing them to rotate freely with minimal friction.

2. Operation: The operation of a conveyor roller table is straightforward:

   • Loading: Products or items are placed onto the conveyor roller table at one end.
   • Gravity-Assisted Transport: As the rollers are inclined slightly downward from the loading end to the unloading end, gravity pulls the products along the conveyor, causing them to roll freely from one roller to the next.
   • Transportation: The products move smoothly along the length of the conveyor, propelled by gravity and the rotating motion of the rollers.
   • Unloading: At the unloading end, products are either manually removed from the conveyor or transferred to another conveyor or workstation for further processing or packaging.

3. Features and Options: Conveyor roller tables may include various features and options to enhance functionality and versatility, such as:

   • Roller Materials: Rollers can be made of various materials, including steel, aluminum, plastic, or composite materials, depending on the application requirements and load capacity.
   • Roller Diameter and Length: Conveyor rollers come in different diameters and lengths to accommodate various product sizes and weights.
   • Roller Configurations: Conveyor roller tables can be configured with different roller spacing and arrangements to suit specific product shapes and sizes.
   • Adjustable Height: Some conveyor roller tables feature adjustable legs or supports, allowing operators to customize the conveyor height to match the workflow or ergonomic requirements.
   • Ball Transfer Units: In certain applications, ball tran
