The new generation
Friction conveyors
Floor conveying technology with frictional wheel drive is the new generation of conveying technology. The driving force is transmitted directly onto a slide (skid, pallet, carrier) via a drive unit (frictional wheel).
This technology offers advantages compared to conventional floor conveying technology, i.e. higher transportation speed, improved work environment, less noise, lower purchase and operation costs.
Friction conveyors can be used as either floor conveyors (e.g. replacement for roller conveyors, slat conveyor, or inverted monorail) or overhead conveyors (e.g. replacement for P&F systems and electrified monorail systems).

Friction conveyors can be used as either floor conveyors (e.g. replacement for roller conveyors, slat conveyor, or inverted monorail) or overhead conveyors (e.g. replacement for P&F systems and electrified monorail systems).
Friction conveyor characteristics:
- No conveyor elements like belts and chains
- Speed: up to 60 m/min
- Acceleration: up to 1 m/s²
- Light design
- Modular Design
- Flexible routing
- High stopping accuracy
- Use of lifting stations to compensate height differences
- Various operation types possible (continuous or cycle operation)
- No busbar or running-along vehicle/carrier controls required
- Simple electrical/mechanical design of the plants, no complex technology required
- Cost effective operation and maintenance of the plants (easy to maintain)
