As implied by its name, the accumulating conveyor roller is used for accumulation and release. The load can get stuck along the way to the indicated spot and at that time the driving engine and elements are still running, even if the cylinder is out of action and the motor load is not rising; after the barrier is removed, goods are transported normally, therefore, we can say that it’s very convenient. At the moment of release, people can sometimes use the same bar to both ensure goods guiding and to stop goods scattering around, but due to the accumulating conveyor roller’s special features, frictional resistance increases, while the risk of goods getting stuck also increases.   

You can see below the bar used for normal transportation. This type of bar is a hidden danger, when the goods and the bar come into contact, there is friction between them. Furthermore, variations in the angle or deviation degree causes high forward resistance, so the goods cannot move forward. At this point, the bar seems to make people love it and hate it at the same time.    

So how can we deal with such an issue?

We recommend that you change the shape of the bar into a roller and in this way, sliding friction turns into rolling friction (when an object is rolling on the surface of another object without sliding). Of course that you can use some other designs for the bar, such as: stick shapes or a vertical placement, etc. Thusly, the frictional resistance between the goods and the bar is reduced, and even if there is friction, the goods can move forward smoothly.  

Therefore, we should think about the shape of the bar together, in order to avoid later problems in the use of the conveyor equipment, be it about modification, disassembly or replacement. In this way, we can improve efficiency and reduce costs.
