Conveyor drum is a cylindrical conveying accessory, divided into driving drum (transmission drum) and driven drum. These rollers play a crucial role in various mechanical equipment, including circular screen printing machines, digital printers, conveying equipment, papermaking and packaging machinery, etc.

Rollers are usually made of seamless steel pipes, but other materials such as aluminum alloy 6061T5, 304L/316L stainless steel, 2205 duplex stainless steel, cast steel parts, or solid forged alloy steel cores can also be used according to different process requirements. The selection of these materials depends on the specific application environment and performance requirements.

• 🏗️ Frame Material: Common rack materials include carbon steel, aluminum profiles, and stainless steel. For the food industry, it is recommended to prioritize choosing a fully stainless steel body to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.
• ⚙️ Drum Material: Optional materials include carbon steel galvanized, chrome plated, nickel plated, cast adhesive (encapsulated), stainless steel, and steel plastic steel. Different materials are suitable for different working environments and material characteristics.
• ✨ Surface Treatment: The carbon steel body can be treated with spraying, plastic spraying, or baking paint, while the stainless steel body can be treated with mirror polishing, matte, sandblasting, or wire drawing to meet different aesthetic and protective requirements.
• ⚖️ Load Capacity: In the selection process, the material and model of the drum should be determined primarily based on the load capacity. This helps ensure the stability and safety of the conveyor during operation.
• 🍱 Food Industry Standards: In addition to choosing a fully stainless steel body, stainless steel rollers should also be prioritized to further ensure food safety and equipment cleanliness.
• 📐 Height Configuration: Normally, the top height of the conveyor drum is slightly lower than the side height of the machine body. However, if there are special requirements, the height of the side of the body can also be set to be higher than or the same as the height of the top of the drum, and side shields, edges, or guardrails can be installed as needed.
