Tapered Conveyor Rollers
Tapered Conveyor Rollers
Tapered rollers have an outer diameter that is larger than the inner diameter. These rollers are used in a conveyor system’s curved sections to maintain the material’s position as its path turns. Installing tapered conveyor rollers delivers directional package handling without using side guards. Rollers with multiple grooves are for motorized and line shaft conveyor systems.
Tapered conveyor rollers are a key component in creating smooth and efficient conveyor systems, especially for applications requiring precise direction control, such as curves in conveyor tracks. With years of expertise in manufacturing, GCS pride ourselves on delivering products that combine innovation, durability, and exceptional performance.

Cone Roller
● Designed to facilitate the smooth transfer of goods, especially for products with irregular shapes or varying sizes.
● A conical shape, which helps to improve the stability and guiding of materials, reducing the risk of product slippage during transport.
● Made with high-quality materials to withstand heavy-duty use and provide long-term performance.
● Used in conveyors, storage systems, and assembly lines for both light and heavy goods.
● Offers customizable Options.
Plastic Sleeve Sprocket Roller
● GCS plastic sleeve covering provides enhanced resistance to rust and corrosion, making these sprocket rollers ideal for use in harsh environments, including those exposed to moisture or chemicals.
● Lighter than traditional metal sprockets, making them easier to handle, install, and maintain.
● Allows for reduced friction and wear, ensuring that the roller operates efficiently with minimal maintenance.
● Plastic sleeve provides better traction, improving the grip between the sprocket and chain.
Double Sprocket Curve Roller
● Ensures a more secure and stable connection between the roller and chain
● Specifically designed for use in curved conveyor tracks
● Distribute the load more evenly
● Minimizes friction between the sprockets and the chain
● Last resistance to wear, corrosion, and other environmental factors
● Provides more precise control over the movement of products
Singles/Double Groove Cone Roller
● Enhances the roller’s ability to securely guide and support products.
● Ideal for various types of conveyors.
● Improve the grip between the roller and the product.
● Allows for smoother transitions and helps guide products with precision.
● Provides extra support and stability for handling heavier or larger items.
● Quieter operation by reducing friction and wear
