Roller Conveyor Systems
Experience Effortless Product Movement
mk North America offers a wide variety of roller conveyor systems, including gravity conveyor systems, chain-driven roller conveyors, and powered roller conveyors. Roller conveyors have rotating bars mounted to the frame to move products along a fixed path. These systems are ideal for products with firm and flat bottoms, such as drums, cases, packaged materials, and other boxed cargo.

Types of Roller Conveyors We Offer
As an industrial roller conveyor manufacturer, mk North America produces a few different types of rollers to accommodate various industry needs.
Gravity Roller
Gravity conveyors are the most basic form of conveyor offered. The design allows products to slide down the line on plastic or metal rollers at a set configuration. Gravity conveyors can be powered by gravity when set up at a decline, or manually by pushing a product when set up on a level surface. mk North America’s RBS-P line of gravity conveyor systems are available with numerous widths, customizable lengths, and both straight and curved modules to provide maximum flexibility and performance.
Chain-Driven
Chain-driven roller conveyors use motorized tangential chains integrated into the side frames to power rollers through internal bearings and fixed axles. This design supports both direct drive and slip drive operation. These types of conveyors are ideal for handling large pallets and accommodate mounted stops and transfers between rollers for added versatility. mk North America’s gravity roller conveyors and chain-driven roller conveyors are available in both straight and curved configurations.
Powered Roller
Powered roller conveyors use motor-driven rollers to move products along the conveyor line. In a typical configuration, rollers are powered by an internal motor and connected to adjacent non-powered rollers using O-rings. Designed for smaller, lighter loads, mk North America’s RBM-P 2255 powered roller conveyors feature 24-volt powered rollers with integrated drive cards. These systems support zone configuration, allowing multiple independent conveyor sections to be combined for precise product control, including accumulation, stopping, starting, and product segmentation throughout the line. mk North America’s powered roller conveyor is only available as a straight-running conveyor.
