Carrying Idler Roller

The carrying idler set is a crucial component in belt conveyors, responsible for supporting the conveyor belt and the material transported on it. These idler sets typically consist of several rollers composed of components such as shafts, bearings, seals, end caps, and tubes. The primary function of the carrying idler set is to support the load-carrying branch of the conveyor belt, ensuring stable operation by bearing the weight of the conveyor belt and the material.

Structurally, the surface of the carrying idler set's rollers needs to be smooth with minimal radial runout to reduce conveyor belt resistance and limit belt sagging. The bearing seats and dust covers of the rollers are typically made of stamped parts, with the outer shell made of seamed steel pipe, making them lightweight and low-resistance. Additionally, to maintain the stable operation of the rollers, the idler set utilizes specialized bearings and lithium-based grease, with internal and external sealing to prevent contamination and grease loss.

Introduction of Carrying Idler roller

1.Reduced Wear and Tear: Carrying Idler roller help to distribute the weight of the material evenly across the conveyor belt, reducing wear and tear on the belt.

2.Improved Material Handling: By providing support and guidance to the conveyor belt, Carrying Idler roller help to ensure smooth and efficient material handling.

3.Increased Conveyor Belt Life: The reduced friction and wear resulting from the use of Carrying Idler roller can lead to a longer conveyor belt life, reducing maintenance costs.

Carrying Idler roller play a crucial role in the efficiency and performance of conveyor systems. By providing support and guidance to the conveyor belt, Carrying Idler roller help to ensure smooth material handling and reduce wear and tear on the belt. Trusting the right Carrying Idler roller for your conveyor system can lead to increased efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and a longer conveyor belt life.

Carrying Idlers include the following sub-categories: standard trough idlers, flat return idlers, impact idlers, self-aligning idlers, V shape idlers etc

FAQ

1.What are Carrying Idler roller?

Carrying Idler roller are roller that support the conveyor belt and the material being conveyed. They are typically located on the underside of the conveyor belt and help to carry the load, reducing friction and ensuring smooth movement along the conveyor.

2.What is the difference between carrying idler and impact idler?

Carrying Idlers: Support the loaded side of the belt and are usually arranged in a trough shape. Return Idlers: Support the return side of the belt as it loops back to the beginning of the conveyor system. Impact Idlers: Located at points where material drop onto the belt to absorb the forces and protect the belt

3.What is the function of carrying idlers

Carrying idlers provide support for the belt while it carries the material. They are available in flat or troughed designs. The flat design usually consists of a single horizontal roll for use on flat belts, such as belt feeders.
