Bi-Directional Roller Surface

Bi-Directional Roller Surface

Adjacent lanes on the conveyor surface run in opposite directions while still being driven off the same line shaft by reversing the twist on belts and employing alternating sleeves and segmented rollers when driven by belts, successive shafts can be powered in opposite directions allowing bi-directional travel within the same conveyor frame.

Simultaneously, bi-directional travel within the same conveyor frame in chain driven applications can be accomplished by using two drive chains, one traveling in each direction and engaging alternate shafts.

Detailed technical information on the design and operation of this equipment appears in the appropriate Shuttleworth Engineering specification available through all Shuttleworth offices.
