Reliable. Modular. Quiet.

Roller tracks

CREFORM roller tracks ensure reliable material feeding and adapt flexibly to your requirements. Whether containers, cartons, or individual parts – our solutions guarantee quiet, gentle transport and increase the efficiency of your production.
We advise you for your success

Easy transport & high precision – completely without energy input

CREFORM roller tracks reliably guide materials to their destination, with a gradient of just 1,5 degrees sufficient for feeding or returning materials. Gravity moves containers, boxes, or individual parts continuously across multiple levels without the need for electricity. This principle reduces operating costs and quickly recoups the initial investment.

The modular design simplifies maintenance and allows for quick adaptation to new requirements. Technicians can replace individual rollers or profiles when worn, thus avoiding waste and conserving valuable raw materials.

U-profiles made of aluminum or steel support the structure and withstand the daily stresses of production. The robust PW roller rails do not bend even under heavy loads and function flawlessly for many years.

What do you want to change?

Application

Standard KLTs with a smooth bottom are used in almost all production and order picking areas.

challenges

High production volumes require uninterrupted, on-time transport. Manual intervention slows down the flow.

The CREFORM solution
Our preview of straight rollers (e.g. PWA series or EF-2044) Ensure a stable, quiet material flow with minimal maintenance. This supports continuous supply – a key lean principle.
Application

Deformed, bulging KLT containers, or KLTs with a waffle bottom, frequently occur in assembly and logistics processes, especially in highly varied production.

challenges

Uneven floors lead to unstable running and disruptions in material flow. Additional guide elements are often necessary.

The CREFORM solution

The PWB series with conical rollers compensates for uneven surfaces and enables stable feeding without additional lateral guidance. This saves space and costs – perfectly in line with the principles of lean manufacturing.

Application

Metal parts are needed in manufacturing and assembly, often in areas with high temperatures or automated transfers (e.g. AGVs).

challenges

Heavy loads, sharp-edged surfaces , and abrasion put a strain on conventional conveyor solutions. This leads to wear and tear and increased maintenance requirements.

The CREFORM solution
Our KWA/KWC roller tracks with steel-coated rollers extremely robust and heat-resistant up to 160 °C. They ensure reliable material flow and reduce downtime – for stable lean processes.
Application

Cardboard boxes are typically used in packaging and order picking – often at the end of the production chain, where products are prepared for shipping.

challenges

Cardboard boxes are lightweight, can tip over, or get stuck. Manual feeding creates unnecessary movement and waiting times, which slows down the material flow.

The CREFORM solution

Our roller tracks with narrow rollers (e.g., PWC series) enable smooth, quiet transport at low inclines. This reduces waste and ensures a continuous flow – a core principle of lean manufacturing.

AGV/FTS

Roller tracks can be perfectly combined with automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Whether as a transfer point or as part of an automated route – the combination of gravity conveying and AGV technology ensures continuous material flows, fewer downtimes and maximum process reliability.

Lean terms: Minomi

With our KWC roller tracks, you can efficiently implement Minomi processes – that is, the transport of the smallest parts without containers. Learn in our Lean Glossary why Minomi is a key principle for lean production and how you can implement it with CREFORM.

Assembly places

Roller rails form the basis for FIFO racking at assembly stations. They ensure ergonomic material supply and support adherence to the first-in, first-out principle. Discover our workplace systems for efficient workflows and increased process reliability.

Product Overview

Material flow optimization

Space-saving corner deflections and precise roller track radii.

Belt conveyor

For flat, delicate or difficult-to-transport parts – continuous, powered material flow.

Material input and output according to the Karakuri principle

Our roller rails are key elements in Kanban material flow. Their purely mechanical design enables reliable feeding and return of materials without any external power supply. This saves costs, reduces complexity, and promotes lean thinking.
