24-Volt Conveyors
Talk to a Material Handling Expert
Flexible, Energy-Efficient Product Handling
24-volt conveyor systems use low-voltage motorized rollers to move products through independently controlled zones. Because each zone runs only when product movement is needed, these systems can reduce energy use, noise, and mechanical wear compared with continuously driven conveyor systems.
Their compact design and zone control make them well suited for accumulation, product spacing, and other automated material handling applications.
24-Volt Conveyor Applications
Cartons & Totes
Move cases, totes, and other rigid-bottom products through production and distribution operations.
Accumulation & Buffering
Create independently controlled zones to manage product flow between processes.
Packaging Lines
Move and space products between labeling, inspection, case packing, and other equipment.
Warehousing & Distribution
Support conveying, accumulation, and product flow in picking, sortation, and shipping areas.
24-Volt Conveyor Capabilities
24-volt conveyor systems can be configured around your product, throughput, environment, and control requirements. Their modular design makes it easy to create zones and adjust speeds throughout the system.
Other capabilities and considerations include:
✓ On-demand zone control
✓ Zero-pressure accumulation
✓ Variable conveyor speeds
✓ Quiet operation
✓ Light-, medium-, and heavy-duty configurations with up to 3,000-pound capacity
✓ Suitable for dusty or dirty environments with Poly-V belt-driven configurations
Comparing 24-Volt & Traditional Live Roller Conveyors
| 24-Volt | Traditional Live Roller |
|---|---|
| Individual powered zones | Centralized drive system |
| Runs on demand | Often runs continuously |
| Easy accumulation control | Accumulation may require additional components |
| Quieter operation | Typically more mechanical drive noise |
| Flexible zone-level control | Better suited for continuous conveying |
Customizing Your 24-Volt Conveyor System
Product size, weight, throughput, accumulation requirements, and facility layout all influence how a 24-volt conveyor system should be designed. RMH evaluates how products need to move, stop, and release before recommending a solution.
Other key considerations include:
✓ Product size & weight
✓ Zone length
✓ Throughput requirements
✓ Accumulation needs
✓ Conveyor layout
✓ Equipment integration
