O-Type Flexible Roller Conveyor
O-Type Flexible Roller Conveyor for 360° Material Circulation
The O-Type Flexible Roller Conveyor is the circular configuration of the flexible roller conveyor family, designed for applications where materials need to move around a central working area rather than follow a single straight route.
Its curved arrangement creates a continuous loop-like conveying path that can be used to connect multiple workstations, redirect cartons or organize material flow around a production or warehouse zone.
Compared with the Straight Type, the O-Type focuses on circulation, redirection and space utilization around a central area.
- 360° Curved Material Flow

Circular Conveyor Layout for Flexible Material Routing
The O-Type Flexible Roller Conveyor is designed for warehouse or production environments where materials need to circulate around a central area.
Instead of establishing one straight conveying route, the O-Type layout can create a loop-like material path that allows multiple workstations to be connected around the same central space.
This configuration can be particularly useful when the warehouse needs to keep material moving while reducing the need to repeatedly move cartons manually between adjacent working areas.
Product Advantages
01. Circular Material Flow
The O-Type layout allows material to travel around a central working area.
This can help create a more organized flow when multiple workstations are positioned around the same zone.
02. Better Use of Central Workspace
An O-shaped configuration can make use of the space surrounding a central area rather than relying only on long straight conveying paths.
This can be useful for:
- Packing cells
- Assembly areas
- Sorting workstations
- Inspection stations
- Temporary warehouse work cells
03. Multiple Access Points
A circular layout can connect multiple working points along the same material flow.
Products can enter at one position and be transferred to another point without requiring the entire conveyor to follow a straight line.
04. Flexible Reconfiguration
The flexible conveyor structure can be rearranged according to changes in workstation positions.
This is particularly useful for facilities where production or fulfillment layouts may change over time.
05. Mobile Installation
Like the other configurations in the product family, the O-Type can be configured with mobile caster wheels.
This allows the conveyor layout to be modified or repositioned according to operational requirements.
06. Suitable for Workcell-Based Operations
The O-Type layout is especially useful where multiple operations are organized around a central work cell.
For example: Inspection → Processing → Packing → Rework → Inspection
can be arranged as a circulation loop instead of multiple disconnected conveying routes.
O-Type Conveyor Structure
The O-Type system consists primarily of:
- Flexible roller conveyor sections
- Curved conveyor structure
- Support frames
- Drive system
- Caster wheels
- Brake mechanism
- Workstation connection sections
The exact radius and overall layout depend on the available space and required material flow.
Customized O-Type Flexible Roller Conveyor
The circular layout can be customized according to:
- Overall diameter
- Conveyor width
- Conveyor height
- Curvature
- Roller pitch
- Drive configuration
- Entry / exit locations
- Workstation positions
- Caster configuration
For projects with restricted installation space, the final O-Type geometry should be designed after confirming the site dimensions and required material flow.
Choose the Right Conveyor Layout
01 — Straight Type
Best for direct point-to-point transfer
- Truck loading
- Truck unloading
- Warehouse transfer
- Packing-to-dispatch transfer
- Linear material flow
02 — O-Type
Best for circular material circulation
- Packing work cells
- Assembly areas
- Inspection stations
- Centralized workstations
- Return / circulation flow
03 — S-Type
Best for directional changes and obstacle navigation
- Connecting non-parallel work areas
- Avoiding columns or equipment
- Multi-direction material transfer
- Irregular warehouse layouts
FAQ
An O-Type Flexible Roller Conveyor is a curved or circular roller conveyor configuration designed to move materials around a central working area or create a loop-like material flow.
Its main advantage is the ability to create circular material movement and connect multiple workstations within a relatively compact working area.
It is suitable for packing cells, assembly workstations, inspection areas, warehouse workcells and applications requiring circulation or return material flow.
Yes. The curved structure allows materials to travel around a central area and change direction as part of the conveying route.
Yes. Multiple workstations can be positioned around the conveying loop according to the application.
Yes. The conveyor configuration can be designed with adjustable working height according to project requirements.
Yes. A mobile configuration with caster wheels can be used where the conveyor needs to be repositioned.
Yes. The overall diameter, conveyor width, height, curvature, entry and exit positions can be customized.
The Straight Type provides a direct linear route between two points, while the O-Type creates a circular or loop-like route for circulation around a central work area.
Yes. The O-Type conveyor can be connected with fixed conveyors or other material-handling equipment according to the required system layout.
