BS 2567:1997

This British Standard specifies the main dimensions and materials for the rollers, skate wheels and supporting frames for straight and curved sections of fixed and portable non-powered roller conveyors for industrial use.

Normative Annex A lists the information that shall be obtained from the purchaser and normative Annex B lists the information that shall be obtained from the manufacturer.

Guidance on the design of a conveyor is given in informative Annex C.

The standard only covers the sections that are used to make a conveyor system. The maximum permissible loading of any section of a conveyor is dependent on the installation arrangements, which are not standardized. The actual performance requirements of sections or conveyor systems do not form part of this standard.

This standard does not cover the safety of roller conveyors.

NOTE A series of European Standards is being prepared to give recommendations on the safety of conveyors. Reference should be made to these standards when a conveyor system is being designed, manufactured or installed.
