Creform Corporation (Greer, SC) has introduced a new low-profile version of its wide Placon gravity rollers and conveyor mounts. The Low-Profile Placon rollers, of which there are two types, are 80 percent of the height of the standard wide Placon conveyor. The rail base is 32 mm to the top of the roller compared to 40 mm for the standard variety. The new series helps minimize the vertical space needed for conveyors and can allow the user to fit more lanes in a given height or to squeeze rollers into a tight space. The standard new system incorporates 18 mm dia. rollers with a 19 mm dia. center to center, and can be configured up to 3 meters long. Other roller spacing is available upon request.
