Roller conveyors that grow with your requirements

Growing transport requirements call for flexible solutions without a big investment risk. Our SK roller conveyors are based on a well-designed modular principle: complex conveyor systems can be extended and adapted almost at will.

Start with passive modules for manual processes – no energy costs, no wiring. When your throughput rises, retrofit individual sections with a 24 V drive. If you need buffering and automated control, upgrade to zone control.

The mechanical base structure stays the same – you invest as your capacity requires. From manual gravity conveying to fully automated zone control with PLC integration.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions – Roller conveyor

How do I reduce intralogistics bottlenecks in production without a large investment?

Intralogistics bottlenecks are often caused by manual transport processes that tie up capacity and increase lead times. The SK roller conveyors of the syskomp group solve this with a modular principle: you start with passive gravity modules for manual processes – no energy costs, no wiring. As throughput grows, these modules can be retrofitted step by step with 24 V drives. The mechanical base structure with Ø 50 mm rollers and 6202 precision ball bearings stays the same, so no expensive new investment is needed. By automating transport sections between workstations, employees can focus on value-adding tasks while goods move at speeds of 3.4 to 101.4 m/min. If required, you upgrade individual zones with intelligent accumulation control using zone modules with ConveyLinx-Ai2 control, which optimise the material flow on demand. The system grows flexibly with your requirements – from manual conveying to fully automated PLC integration via PROFINET. With conveying widths of 420, 620 or 820 mm and section lengths of up to 3,000 mm, even complex layouts can be realised.

How do I optimise material flow in production on a limited budget?

Inefficient material flow costs time, money and productivity. The SK roller conveyors of the syskomp group enable step-by-step optimisation without a major investment. The modular system adapts flexibly to the available space: straight sections (300–3,000 mm long), curve modules (30°/45°/60°/90°), merges/diverters and cross transfers (SKRAT) create continuous material flows between production, assembly and picking areas. A decisive advantage: you start with low-cost passive modules for gravity conveying and only retrofit a 24 V drive on the sections where automation has the greatest effect. The mechanical base remains compatible, so investments keep their value in the long term. Thanks to standardised conveying widths (420/620/820 mm) and roller pitches (75 or 100 mm), a wide variety of load carriers can be transported. The ConveyLinx-Ai2 control box enables PLC integration for fully automated process chains. With a load capacity of max. 50 kg per zone and speeds of 3.4 to 101.4 m/min, the systems also handle high throughputs. Planning support with CAD data in STEP format makes integration into existing layouts easier.

Can I extend existing conveyor technology step by step without buying everything new?

Yes, that is the core advantage of the modular principle of the SK roller conveyors from the syskomp group. Unlike rigid complete systems, all modules remain mechanically compatible: passive gravity rollers can be retrofitted with 24 V drives, and driven modules can be upgraded with zone control. The technical base structure – frame, Ø 50 mm rollers with 6202 precision ball bearings, roller pitches of 75 or 100 mm – stays the same. This means investments keep their value and no working components have to be scrapped. Practical example: start with passive modules (SKNDS) for a manual assembly process. As volumes increase, retrofit individual sections with a 24 V round-belt drive (SKDS) – without changing the base structure. If you later need buffering and automated control, upgrade to zone modules (SKZS) with integrated photoelectric sensors and ConveyLinx-Ai2 control for PLC connection. The modular approach minimises investment risk and enables growth as needed – from manual gravity conveying to fully automated zone control with PROFINET integration. All conveying widths (420, 620, 820 mm) are available across the complete module range.

How do I reduce the energy costs of conveyor technology as throughput increases?

Rising energy costs make efficient conveyor technology a competitive factor. The SK roller conveyors of the syskomp group offer three efficiency levels: 1) Passive modules use gravity with no energy consumption at all – ideal for downhill sections and manual processes. 2) 24 V round-belt drives consume a maximum of 0.05 kW per motor roller and move up to 11 gravity rollers along with them – a particularly energy-efficient low-voltage technology. 3) Zone modules with integrated ConveyLinx-Ai2 control only activate drives on demand: each zone only runs when an item is present, detected by integrated photoelectric sensors. Each motor roller consumes a maximum of 0.05 kW at speeds of 3.4 to 101.4 m/min (depending on the speed level selected). The ConveyLinx-Ai2 control box controls up to two motor rollers and two sensors per box. Combining energy-free passive sections, efficient 24 V drives and intelligent zone control significantly reduces the energy consumption of your conveyor system. We are happy to calculate the energy demand for your specific layout on request.

What are roller conveyors and what are they used for?

Roller conveyors are essential components in intralogistics that transport goods efficiently. They optimise production and logistics processes in logistics and distribution, production and manufacturing, the automotive industry and e-commerce fulfilment centres. The SK roller conveyors of the syskomp group are based on a modular principle and transport a wide variety of load carriers – from manual gravity conveying to fully automated zone control.

What are the basic types of roller conveyors?

Three systems: passive modules use gravity with no energy costs for manual processes. Active modules with a 24 V drive convey at 3.4 to 101.4 m/min on defined sections. Zone modules offer intelligent accumulation control with up to 40 % energy savings and PLC integration via ConveyLinx-Ai2.

Which system suits my requirements?

Passive modules suit manual processes and gravity conveying, 24 V drives suit defined transport sections in automated processes, and zone modules suit high throughput, buffering and PLC integration. The online configurator helps you choose; alternatively, we will advise you free of charge.

Can I extend the system later?

Yes. Passive modules can be retrofitted with a 24 V drive, and driven modules can be upgraded with zone control. Frames, rollers (Ø 50 mm, 6202 precision ball bearings) and fixings remain compatible – working components do not have to be scrapped.

Can I connect the roller conveyors to my PLC?

Yes. The ConveyLinx-Ai2 control box of the zone modules supports PROFINET with freely programmable logic and controls up to two motor rollers and two photoelectric sensors per box. For simple drive modules without sensors there is the E-Qube-Ai-P control box. Both run on 24 V.

How do I reduce the energy costs of conveyor technology?

Passive sections need no energy, 24 V motor rollers consume a maximum of 0.05 kW and move up to 11 gravity rollers along with them, and zone modules only run when an item is in the zone. We can calculate the energy demand for your layout on request.

How long do the roller conveyors last?

Drive rollers have a service life of 70,000 to 120,000 operating hours. 6202 precision ball bearings and a robust steel construction with Ø 50 mm rollers are designed for continuous operation.

Are spare parts available long-term?

Yes, syskomp guarantees spare parts availability for SK roller conveyors for at least 10 years. Standard components such as rollers (Ø 50 mm), 6202 ball bearings and drive belts can also be sourced from third-party suppliers.
