Description
Roller conveyors with ejectors are solutions designed for the efficient transport of wood, industrial products or heavy loads, integrating automated systems for diverting and separating pieces. They are particularly suited for production lines and sawmill operations that require speed, precision and controlled material handling.
Function of roller conveyors with ejectors
The main function of these conveyors is to combine continuous transport with the ability to automatically remove or redirect selected pieces. Based on control signals or detection systems, the ejectors act on individual items and direct them to unloading points, buffer zones, inspection stations or alternative processing routes.
Integrated ejection systems
Roller conveyors with ejectors can be equipped with different actuation technologies, allowing the system to be configured according to the operational requirements of each application.
- Pneumatic ejection for fast and repetitive movements.
- Hydraulic ejection for heavier loads and higher force requirements.
- Mechanical ejection for simple or dedicated systems.
These features make them ideal for sorting, lateral deviation, automatic distribution and selective feeding across sawmill or industrial processing lines.
Typical applications in the wood industry
Roller conveyors with ejectors are widely used in industrial environments where speed, precision and controlled separation of pieces are required.
- Board and plank classification.
- Material deviation to alternative or reject lines.
- Selective feeding to different machines.
- Creation of controlled buffer or accumulation zones.
Adaptable configurations and dimensions
These conveyors can be manufactured in different lengths, widths and load capacities, adapting to pieces of multiple dimensions and weights. Roller spacing, ejection force and conveyor speed are defined according to the technical requirements of each production environment.
Their modular structure ensures easy integration into both new and existing lines, maintaining process fluidity while reducing manual handling.
Integration with automation and control systems
Thanks to their modular design, roller conveyors with ejectors can be integrated into advanced automation systems, communicating with PLCs, sensors, readers and production management software. This ensures full synchronisation between material transport, detection and ejection operations.

Frequently asked questions about roller conveyors with ejectors
What types of ejection systems can be used?
Pneumatic, hydraulic or mechanical systems can be used, depending on the type of piece, working cadence and required force.
In which types of production lines are they most commonly used?
They are commonly used in sawmill lines, sorting systems, classification units and any process where fast and precise piece deviation is necessary.
Are roller conveyors with ejectors custom-built?
Yes. Each system is engineered according to the dimensions of the pieces, working cadence, available layout and level of automation required.
Can these conveyors be integrated into an existing line?
Yes. After technical evaluation, these conveyors can be installed in existing lines by adjusting heights, interfaces, speeds and diversion points.
