Why Choose Tapered Conveyor Rollers?

Our tapered conveyor rollers are built to deliver accuracy, reliability and efficient performance in complex conveyor systems.

Optimised for curved conveyor sections, ensuring smooth product flow around bends without disruption.

Precision-engineered tapered design, maintaining consistent speed and alignment across the conveyor.

Durable construction, suitable for continuous use in demanding industrial environment.

Low maintenance and high reliability, helping reduce downtime and improve overall system efficiency.

These rollers are a key component in maintaining performance across curved conveyor applications.

Designed for Curved Conveying

Tapered conveyor rollers are specifically developed to support product movement around bends and curves within a conveyor system. By gradually reducing in diameter from one end to the other, each tapered conveyor roller ensures items travel at a consistent speed without slipping or misalignment. This makes them essential for maintaining smooth flow in curved sections of conveyor layouts.

Specifications

Type 100 conveyor roller

The FASTRAX Type 100 roller is ideally suited to be fitted in light duty roller conveyors. It has a very free running bearing which means that very small and lightweight products can still be conveyed easily by gravity. Taper rollers are also available to suit 500mm and 800mm inside radius.
