Product Description

Overview

The idler roller of a belt conveyor is the most important component of a belt conveyor, and it is also the component that occupies the largest number of belt conveyors. The idler roller of a belt conveyor is different from the unpowered drum used for material conveying, although its composition and appearance are similar. However, the carrying capacity of the belt conveyor rollers is relatively large, and there are corresponding limitations on the speed.

Types of Rollers
Groove Type Upper Roller

The standard groove angle for the groove type idler is 35 degrees, so the most commonly used in each conveyor are the 35 degree groove type idler and the 35 degree groove type forward leaning idler.

Buffer Roller

Buffer rollers have 35 degree and 45 degree options. When using canvas conveyor belts, only 35 degree groove type buffer rollers can be selected. When using a 45 degree groove type buffer roller, it can be used in the section of the guide groove that is not affected by material impact.

Transition Roller

Large capacity, long-distance, high belt tension, and important conveyors should generally be equipped with transition sections.

Return Idler

The return roller, also known as the parallel lower roller, is the most commonly used type of lower roller.

Self Aligning Roller

Self aligning rollers include ordinary self-aligning rollers, friction self-aligning rollers, and conical self-aligning rollers. The self-aligning roller is used to automatically correct excessive deviation of the conveyor belt during operation, ensuring the normal operation of the conveyor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q What is a belt conveyor idler roller and why is it important?
The idler roller is the most critical component of a belt conveyor system. It supports the conveyor belt and the load being carried, and accounts for the largest number of components in the conveyor. Its carrying capacity is relatively large, with corresponding speed limitations.
Q What is the standard groove angle for groove type idler rollers?
The standard groove angle for groove type idlers is 35 degrees. The 35 degree groove type idler and the 35 degree groove type forward leaning idler are the most commonly used configurations in belt conveyor systems.
Q What are the available options for buffer rollers?
Buffer rollers come in 35 degree and 45 degree options. When using canvas conveyor belts, only 35 degree groove type buffer rollers should be selected. The 45 degree buffer roller is suitable for the guide groove section where no material impact occurs.
Q When should transition rollers be used in a conveyor system?
Transition rollers should generally be equipped in conveyors that handle large capacity loads, operate over long distances, have high belt tension, or are considered critical or important in the production process. They help ensure smooth belt movement at the conveyor head and tail.
Q What is the function of a self-aligning roller?
Self-aligning rollers automatically correct excessive lateral deviation of the conveyor belt during operation. They come in three types: ordinary self-aligning, friction self-aligning, and conical self-aligning rollers, all designed to maintain the belt's central alignment and ensure normal conveyor operation.
Q How does a return idler differ from other roller types?
The return idler, also known as the parallel lower roller, supports the empty return side of the conveyor belt. It is the most commonly used type of lower roller and is designed to guide the belt back to the loading point smoothly and efficiently.
