What Are the Differences Between Prismatic Module Roller Lines and Heavy-Duty Pack Roller Conveyors?

In lithium battery manufacturing, efficient material handling is critical to achieving high-throughput and reliable production. Among all conveying systems, roller lines are the most commonly used for their modularity and adaptability.

Depending on the assembly stage, roller conveyors are classified into:

Light-duty roller lines for prismatic module assembly, focusing on transporting small, lightweight battery modules.

Heavy-duty roller conveyors for Pack lines, designed to support large battery packs with significantly higher load-bearing requirements.

Each plays a distinct role in ensuring the seamless integration of automation in battery production lines.

Features of Each Conveyor System

Prismatic Battery Module Roller Line:

Lightweight Load: Handles 10–30kg per module.

High Speed: Designed for fast takt time (<10 seconds).

Modular Construction: Flexible segmentation supports multi-type module transfer.

Compact Layout: Integrates with robots, jigs, and test stations.

Cost-Effective: Easy maintenance and fast deployment.

Heavy-Duty Pack Roller Line:

Heavy Load Capacity: Handles 100–300kg or more.

Reinforced Design: Thicker rollers, heavy-duty bearings, and dual-chain drives.

Safety Integration: Equipped with sensors, anti-collision, and emergency stops.

Smart Interfaces: Works with AGVs, auto tightening machines, or EOL testers.

Traceability Support: Integrated with MES for barcode tracking and real-time monitoring.

Industrial Applications

Module Conveyor Applications:

Post-stacking material handling

Glue curing segment transfer

Pre-welding or pre-screwing operations

Optical inspection integration

Inter-process buffering

Pack Conveyor Applications:

Structural and case integration stages

Functional or high-voltage testing

Charge/discharge aging process transfer

Final packaging, barcode printing, and warehouse infeed

Choosing the right conveyor system improves production efficiency, reduces manual errors, and ensures safe handling of critical battery components.

How to Select the Right Roller Conveyor?

Load Weight: Match design capacity to your product specs.

Takt Time: Define the required speed and throughput.

Roller Drive Type: Choose from powered rollers, chains, or belt drives.

Layout Flexibility: Consider spacing, U-turns, and elevation changes.

Integration Needs: Plan for barcode scanning, weighing, or EOL testing.

Serviceability: Factor in durability, spare part access, and scalability.
