Ball Transfers and Ball Transfer Units

About Ball Transfers and Ball Transfer Units

Ball transfers are industrial conveyors that use fixed balls to transport products and materials by rolling instead of using a moving belt or chain. Ball transfer units are ball transfer components that consist of a large, load-bearing ball which sits atop smaller balls inside of a hemispherical cup. Both ball transfers and ball transfer units are designed for industrial and commercial applications that require the transportation of bulk materials, boxes packages, or parts in a predetermined path, and that have fixed or selective points for loading and discharging. Some suppliers refer to ball transfers as ball transfer tables, ball transfer conveyors, or ball transfer systems. In some cases, the terms "ball transfers" and "ball transfer units" are used interchangeably. Often, suppliers provide both types of products.
