Types of Conveyor Idlers
CARRYING IDLERS
Carrying idlers support the loaded conveyor belt and help maintain its shape while material is transported.
IMPACT IDLERS
Impact idlers are installed at loading points to absorb material impact and help protect the conveyor belt from damage.
V-RETURN IDLERS
V-return idlers support the return side of the belt while helping maintain belt alignment and reduce belt sag.
TRAINING IDLERS
Training idlers help correct belt tracking and maintain proper conveyor belt alignment during operation.
SELF-ALIGNING IDLERS
Self-aligning idlers automatically help correct belt misalignment and support stable conveyor operation.
TRANSITION IDLERS
Transition idlers support the belt as it moves between different conveyor sections and configurations.
TROUGHING IDLERS
Troughing idlers support and shape the loaded conveyor belt to improve material containment during transportation.
GARLAND IDLER ASSEMBLIES
Garland idler assemblies use interconnected rollers to provide flexible belt support for demanding conveyor applications.
Types of Conveyor Pulleys
DRUM PULLEY
Used to drive or redirect the conveyor belt.
HEAD PULLEY
Located at the discharge end and commonly used as a drive pulley.
TAIL PULLEY
Located at the opposite end of the conveyor and helps return the belt.
BEND PULLEY
Used to change belt direction and support conveyor configuration.
SNUB PULLEY
Used to increase belt wrap around the drive pulley.
TAKE-UP PULLEY
Used in conveyor systems with take-up arrangements to maintain appropriate belt tension.
