Abstract:
A quick release roller for a conveyor system is configured to permit easy maintenance and replacement of the rollers in the system. The roller includes first and second roller segments that may be cooperatively joined together around a mounting shaft carried by the conveyor. The segmented roller permits the quick release to be removed and attached to the conveyor without disassembly of other conveyor components supporting the roller. The quick release roller facilitates maintenance and service of the conveyor system while limiting operational downtime for the conveyor while being serviced.
