FAQs: Conveyors
Why choose a Caslad conveyor?
Choosing a Caslad conveyor means you are investing in commercial-grade durability from South Africa’s leading industrial manufacturer. Our systems are engineered to handle the harsh demands of busy packing and distribution centres. We offer light, medium, and heavy-duty roller options, with standard diameters ranging up to 76mm. Furthermore, our robust steel frameworks can be supplied with highly resilient finishes, ensuring your conveyor line resists rust, wear, and heavy impact over years of daily use.
What are the standard dimensions of your modular conveyor systems?
Our modular gravity roller conveyors are designed for versatility. The standard straight sections are supplied in 3-metre lengths, with standard width options of 300mm, 450mm, and 600mm. However, because we manufacture and supply these systems directly, both the length and width can be fully customised to suit your exact facility requirements.
What sizes and duty-ratings are available for the rollers?
We offer rollers in light, medium, and heavy-duty specifications to accommodate different load weights. Our standard roller diameters are 38mm, 50mm, 63mm, and 76mm. Just like the conveyor frames, these roller dimensions and widths can be customised to safely support the specific types of goods your business handles.
Can Caslad customise the conveyor layout to navigate around my warehouse?
Absolutely. Our systems are highly adaptable to your unique operational workflow. Beyond simply navigating corners with custom bends, we can integrate specialised components such as ball transfer units at key junctions in your warehouse. This allows goods to be easily rotated, diverted, or pushed off the main conveyor line at specific packing stations or intersecting paths, giving you complete, customised control over how materials move through your building.
How are the rollers fitted, and are they easy to replace?
Maintenance and assembly are incredibly straightforward. The rollers in our gravity conveyors are spring-loaded, which allows them to simply snap into the frame. This makes initial assembly quick and ensures that replacing a single worn or damaged roller in the future requires minimal effort and downtime.
What finishes are available for the conveyor frames and rollers?
To ensure longevity in various industrial environments, we offer multiple protective finishes. The robust conveyor framework can be supplied with a standard painted finish, a highly durable powder-coated finish, or fully galvanised. The rollers themselves are available in either a raw or galvanised finish to resist rust and wear.
