What is a Live Roller System

A Live Roller System is a powered roller conveyor used to move packaged and palletized goods down a line. They are commonly found in many different industries and applications, including warehousing, manufacturing, and beverage distribution. These powered rollers are a durable solution for medium-to large-size packaged product.

Live Roller Systems can be powered by v-belts, flat conveyor belts, chain, round belts or motorized pulley’s. In belted powered systems, friction between the belt and roller causes the roller to turn when the belt is driven.

Finger Cutter for Live Roller Belting

Quality punched fingers are critical to a quality endless splice. Both belt end fingers need to be evenly dimensioned with no deformation at the edge in order to mesh together for the splice, as well as for alignment in the tension direction on the conveyor.

Features and Benefits 

  • • Easy to use single-hand crank punches the belt and re-indexes automatically – no need for extra steps
  • • Blade guard protects operator and assists with release of belt from blade, no exposed blade
  • • Easy to replace durable single blade produces fingers with little to no fraying of cords (We are seen up to 50 cuts before switching blades)
