What is a PRM (Powered Roller Medium Duty) Conveyor?

PRM stands for Powered Roller Medium Duty Conveyor.

PRM conveyors are rugged, heavy-duty solutions designed for the efficient accumulation of industrial parts.

They are known for flexibility, durability, and innovative control features. 

Features of a PRM Conveyor

Continuously Running Motor

The motor on the PRM is continuously running. This significantly increases the lifespan of the essential components in the conveyor.

Because of the continuously running motor, the motor does not index, ensuring the motor/gearbox and the sprocket/chains last longer. This is important especially in demanding industrial settings.

Rugged Steel Frame

Zeta Group Engineering’s PRM has a steel frame with a proven track record of over 45 years in industries like rotor and caliper manufacturing.

The frame’s exceptional durability and reliability make it a top choice for heavy-duty applications.

Flexible Layout Designs

One of the PRM conveyor’s standout qualities is its adaptable designs. It can be customized to meet your specific needs and floorplan.

The following design options are available at Zeta Group Engineering:

Single or multi-lane configurations

Custom widths and lengths

Right-angle transfers

Curved roller sections

Roller Variations

The PRM conveyor offers various roller surface choices to best suit your product requirements.

These options include:

Urethane rollers

Steel rollers

Plastic rollers

Right angle transfer rollers

UHMW rollers

Tapered rollers

Hardened steel rollers

Control Features

To enhance efficiency, the PRM conveyor utilizes a FESTO I/O system. This system seamlessly integrates sensors and pneumatics on the same network, reducing the need for multiple connections. 

It also simplifies the PLC programming by auto-detecting connected devices and building I/O maps.
