Lineshaft Conveyors manufactured in the UK
Lineshaft conveyors are a simple and low-cost solution to many product transportation problems.
We manufacture reliable lineshaft modules including straights, bends, merges, and also switches. Precision bearings are used within the conveyor rollers to reduce noise levels.
The Lineshaft conveyor generally is a universal conveyor that is ideal for integration into conveyor systems carrying boxes or totes, and other flat-bottomed unit loads.
Lineshaft conveyors are a great way to safely transport items in a warehouse environment. When an item on the conveyor reaches the desired stopping point, extra friction will cause the o-ring band to slip. As a result, the rollers underneath the package will stop turning. This allows products to accumulate on the conveyor without running off, or causing stoppages in other sections of the conveyor.

Special Application Roller Conveyor Modules & Accessories
Roller Conveyor Bends
These are particularly useful in applications where a straight conveyor line is not feasible, such as in small warehouses or production areas with limited floor space.
Using a curved conveyor, materials can be transported more efficiently around corners, reducing the need for manual handling and increasing throughput.
As materials are transported smoothly around corners, there is less stress on the conveyor system, reducing wear and tear and extending the system's lifespan.
Roller conveyor bends can also be integrated into existing conveyor systems, providing greater flexibility in terms of material handling and layout.
Roller Conveyor bends are a cost-effective way to move materials around corners or to navigate around obstacles.
Roller Conveyor Merges
Roller conveyor merges are commonly used in manufacturing and distribution facilities to improve material handling efficiency by allowing multiple conveyor lines to merge into a single line. They are particularly useful in applications where materials need to be consolidated from multiple conveyor lines into a single output, such as in sorting and distribution centers.
By consolidating materials from multiple conveyor lines into a single output, roller conveyor merges can improve sorting accuracy and reduce the risk of errors.
Roller conveyor merges are designed to be robust and reliable, reducing the likelihood of downtime and maintenance requirements.
A roller conveyor merge is used to merge two or more conveyor lines into a single conveyor line.

Roller Conveyor Transfers
Roller conveyor transfers help to reduce the need for manual handling and increases throughput. They can also be easily integrated into existing conveyor systems, providing greater flexibility in terms of material handling and layout.
A roller conveyor transfer is a type of conveyor system that is used to transfer materials between two or more conveyor lines.
Roller Conveyor Turntables
Roller conveyor turntables help to streamline material flow by allowing materials to be rotated smoothly and efficiently to change direction, reducing the need for manual handling and increasing throughput. They can be easily integrated into existing conveyor systems, providing greater flexibility in terms of material handling and layout.
A roller conveyor turntable is used to change the direction of materials on a conveyor line by rotating the materials on a circular platform.

Lineshaft Conveyor Uses
As lineshaft driven roller conveyors are a low cost and efficient transportation method, they are widely used across a variety of industries.
- Warehouse transport conveyor
- Packing lines
- Product accumulation
- Production lines
- Order picking
- Packaging
- Barcode labelling
- Warehouse sorting
These conveyors can handle loads up to 50Kg per metre, for heavier loads try chain driven roller conveyors.
What is a Lineshaft conveyor?
A lineshaft conveyor is a low-pressure accumulation or product transport roller conveyor.
A shaft beneath the rollers drives this type of conveyor. A friction spool on this shaft for each roller attaches to the rollers by polyurethane o-rings. This transfers the drive from the lower-positioned shaft up to the rollers. An electric motor powers the shaft, and as the shaft spins, each o-ring drives its corresponding roller.
This type of conveyor has been an industry staple for 50+ years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes Spaceguard offers a full service from design through to installation, including onsite maintenance aftercare.
The lineshaft generally operates best running at speeds between 10 metres per minute, and 30 metres per minute.
There needs to be 3 rollers underneath the box, so 225mm is normally the smallest length box.
