For over thirty years, NUOVA OMEC has been designing and manufacturing rollers for industrial transport in three major application areas: ceramics, bulk handling, and unit handling. Each sector has its own challenges: our solutions are custom-designed for each one.
The NUOVA OMEC line is the result of hands-on experience in the most demanding sectors of the manufacturing and logistics industries. The product itself—the industrial roller—has the same basic function (transporting loads with low friction) but differs significantly in its construction specifications depending on the application.
A roller used in the ceramics industry must withstand operating temperatures approaching 200°C, clay dust, and thermal shocks from roller kilns. A roller used in bulk handling must handle loads of hundreds of kilograms per meter and withstand the abrasive wear caused by rocks, coal, and minerals. A roller used in unit handling must ensure precise positioning, quiet operation, and compatibility with automated control systems.
The handling of discrete load units (packages, boxes, pallets, trays, containers) is the classic domain of industrial conveyor systems. From simple gravity conveyors to automated roller conveyors with MDR and zero-pressure accumulation, NUOVA OMEC covers the entire range of solutions for automated warehouses, distribution centers, production lines, and sorting systems.
The transport of bulk materials (minerals, coal, gravel, biomass, grain, cement) requires rollers capable of withstanding high concentrated loads, resisting abrasive wear, and operating continuously in dusty, humid, or corrosive environments. NUOVA OMEC supplies heavy-duty and extra-heavy-duty rollers (LEP, LMT-UH, and LGT series) as well as specific idler rollers for bulk conveyor belts of any width.
The ceramics industry is one of the most demanding sectors for conveyor components: high temperatures in kilns (up to 1300°C for the kiln rollers themselves, while the support rollers operate at 150–300°C), abrasive dust, thermal shock, and continuous 24/7 operation. NUOVA OMEC supplies idler and motorized rollers specifically designed for roller conveyors in pre-dryers, dryers, and tile calibration and sorting lines.
Support rollers for industrial conveyor systems, designed to ensure smooth operation, wear resistance, and maximum operational reliability.
Components designed to support and guide conveyor belts, ensuring stability, durability, and consistent performance even under harsh conditions.
Rollers designed for specific applications with particular requirements regarding load capacity, operating environment, and system configuration.
Compact solutions that integrate the motor and drum into a single unit: RAM drum motors from 0.06 to 0.75 kW, IP66, lifetime lubrication.
They keep the belt in place, ensuring stability and efficiency. 2RS bearings, permanently lubricated, hermetically sealed, and customizable.
Nuova Omec designs and manufactures custom rollers for specific applications and complex production environments: custom dimensions, materials, and coatings.
