Abstract:

For cold temperature storage on a gravity rollerway conveyor, the parallel flights of rollers of the rollerway conveyor each have a first group of rollers engaging the pallets in their storage position with surfaces having no appreciable compression set characteristics and a second group of rollers not in engagement with the pallets in their storage position but engaging the pallets when moving from one storage position to another storage position with elastomeric surfaces having appreciable compression set. The first group of rollers may be constructed with support surfaces that are rigid, while the second group of rollers may be constructed with support surfaces that are elastomeric with substantial hysteresis properties.
