As the name implies, the skate wheel is a wheel with a specific function. It is usually composed of rollers, brackets and other accessories, with a simple structure but powerful functions. The main function of the Furley wheel is to realize the rotation or movement of objects, and to promote the movement of objects through the movement of the wheel.

In the conveying system, the skate wheel plays a vital role. It can be used to convey objects with a flat bottom surface, especially in the curved part or the diversion and confluence part of the conveying system, the application of the Furley wheel is indispensable. In addition, the skatewheel can also be used as a caster, playing an auxiliary role in the conveyor, such as the rising section of the climbing belt conveyor to press the belt, etc.

From a structural point of view, skate wheel conveyor parts include multiple freely conveyor wheels, telescopic plates, outriggers, etc.
roller conveyor parts include double sprocket rollers, chains, motors, outriggers, etc.

From the power point of view, the skatewheel conveyors does not contain a power part, while the powered roller conveyor systems contains power.
From the application scenario point of view, theskate wheel gravity conveyor is suitable for short-distance conveying and light material conveying, such as handling at the end of the assembly line, packaging area or warehouse. The motorized roller conveyor is suitable for long-distance conveying and heavier material conveying, such as automated conveying in production lines and fast handling in warehousing and logistics.
In general, if the material to be conveyed is light and does not require long-distance transportation, you can choose the expanding skate conveyor; if the material is heavy or requires long-distance and efficient transportation, the powered roller conveyor is more suitable.

The universal wheel conveyor is mainly used in the following scenarios:

Sorting and Packaging Lines
In logistics centers, warehouses, and distribution centers, Omni conveyors are often used to quickly sort and transfer a variety of packages. They are able to handle products of various sizes and shapes, and can move products in multiple directions for easy sorting.

Manufacturing
In manufacturing workshops, Omni conveyors are used to transfer semi-finished and finished products between different processing stages. They can flexibly adapt to changes in production lines and are particularly suitable for complex manufacturing processes.

Food and Beverage Industry
In food processing and packaging facilities, Omni conveyors are used to transfer various types of food packaging, such as bottled drinks, cans, snack bags, etc.

E-commerce and Retail
In e-commerce warehouses, Omni conveyors are used to handle a large number of orders, especially in scenarios that require fast response and delivery.

Automotive Industry
In automotive assembly lines, Omni conveyors are used to transfer various automotive parts and modules.
