Impact idlers - Import export

While various idlers have been developed to perform adequately in different installations, determining the most appropriate one remains a challenging task. The primary function of an idler roll is to provide load support with minimal resistance to movement, particularly addressing radial loading from the belt and materials across specific idler spacing. This role encompasses absorbing impact at the loading point and managing belt tension in curved sections, which can be challenging to quantify. Modern conveyor design methods have enhanced our comprehension and control, providing clearer insights into idler implications. Assemblies of idler rolls are strategically designed to influence the belt profile, often forming a trough or tube. It’s essential to acknowledge that the trough’s shape, consistency, and flexibility significantly impact idler roll behaviour.
