Friction Drive Conveyor

Advantage Dimension

Friction Conveyor

Roller Conveyor (Typical)

Belt Conveyor

1. Handling of Irregular/ Fragile Goods

Strongest: Soft friction avoids rigid contact; ideal for irregular parts

Weak: Hard roller surface risks damaging fragile goods; struggles with irregular shapes that can't sit stably.

Moderate: Good for fragile goods but limited by belt width; irregular items may slip or get stuck.

2. Space & Layout Flexibility

Strong: Compact structure (no large rollers/belts); easy to design as curved or inclined conveyors for narrow spaces or obstacle-bypassing.

Moderate: Horizontal layout is space-efficient, but curved/inclined designs need more support structures.

Weak: Long belts require large tensioning spaces; curved layouts are difficult and take up more room.

3. Maintenance & Cost

Moderate to Strong: Fewer wearing parts (no roller bearings/belt joints); low maintenance cost; initial investment is lower than belt/chain conveyors.

Moderate: Many roller bearings need regular lubrication; maintenance frequency is higher than friction conveyors.

Weak: Belts are prone to wear/tear and need replacement; high maintenance and replacement costs.

4. Adaptability to Product Size

Strong: No need for custom fixtures; easy to adjust friction component spacing for different-sized products.

Moderate: Requires changing roller spacing or adding guides for different sizes; less flexible.

Weak: Fixed belt width; can't handle products wider

Q: How to apply for warranty service for core components?​

A: Provide 3 materials to our after-sale team (email: [cdjlssj@163.com]): ① order number; ② photos/videos of defective parts; ③ maintenance record (if any). We will confirm eligibility within 24 hours and arrange free replacement.​

Q: What if online technical support can't solve my problem?​

A: After 2 rounds of online guidance (e.g., video call, step-by-step docs), if the issue remains, we will book on-site service. The arrival time depends on your location: 3 working days for major cities, 5 working days for remote areas.​

Q: Are wear parts (e.g., trolley wheels) covered by warranty?​

A: No. Wear parts are excluded from the 12-month core component warranty, as their wear is related to usage frequency. But we offer 10% discount on wear parts for warranty-period customers.​
