Conveyors & Handling Systems

Chain Driven Live Roller Conveyor for Pallet

Main function

The Chain Driven Live Roller (CDLR) conveyor provides motorized and controlled transport of pallets, industrial containers, or heavy unit loads using rollers mechanically driven by a chain.
Each roller is connected to a chain drive system that transmits power throughout the conveyor, ensuring synchronized movement with positive traction. This technology is particularly well suited for handling heavy loads or operating in environments where belt-driven solutions are less effective.
At Storcan, these conveyors are available in painted steel (notably with Hytrol solutions) or in stainless steel for food-grade environments.

Typical applications

Application Description Operational objective
Pallet Transportation Automated movement of pallets between production, storage, and shipping areas Ensure continuous and secure material flow
Palletizing integration Feeding or removing pallets at palletizer infeed/outfeed Synchronize automated operations
Heavy load accumulation Creation of buffer zones for full or empty pallets Regulate flow and prevent line stoppages
Industrial container transport Conveying drums, crates, or rigid loads Ensure reliable handling of heavy products

Key benefits

Positive drive with high traction: Direct power transmission with no slippage, ideal for heavy loads.
High load capacity: Designed for full pallets and heavy industrial loads.
Suitable for harsh environments: Reliable operation in the presence of oil, humidity, or dust
Modularity and integration: Compatible with transfers, turntables, and automated systems.
Reduced maintenance: Robust and accessible components for increased durability.
