Return Disc Idlers
End Carryback & Mistracking: Maintenance-Free Return Disc Idlers
Material buildup on return rollers is a hidden culprit behind belt mistracking, uneven wear, and costly downtime. Our Return Disc Idlers solve this problem with an elegantly simple design. Individual rubber discs create a non-stick, self-cleaning surface that prevents material from adhering to the roller, ensuring smooth rotation and perfect belt alignment. This highly cost-effective upgrade eliminates a major cause of belt damage, reduces maintenance interventions, and extends the life of your entire conveyor system by tackling carryback at its source.
The Simple, Brilliant Solution to a Costly Conveyor Problem
In the return section of your conveyor, carried-back material can quickly cement itself onto standard rollers, creating an uneven surface that forces the belt off track. This leads to edge damage, spillage, and accelerated wear. Our Return Disc Idlers break this cycle. By replacing a solid roller with a series of independent rubber discs, we introduce gaps that shed sticky material, prevent buildup, and maintain a perfectly round profile, ensuring your belt tracks true and runs clean.
Key Benefits of Our Disc Idler Design:
Solve Belt Mistracking at Its Root Cause
Feature: Segmented rubber discs prevent a continuous layer of material from building up.
Advantage: Eliminates the out-of-round condition that forcibly pushes the belt sideways.
Benefit: Prevents destructive belt misalignment, protecting your belt from edge damage and your structure from undue wear.
Achieve True Maintenance-Free Operation
Feature: The self-shedding design stops material from locking the idler in place.
Advantage: The idler continues to rotate freely, preventing drag and the need for manual cleaning.
Benefit: Drastically reduces labor for cleanup and roller maintenance, freeing your team for more critical tasks and lowering your operational overhead.
Protect Your Investment with a Rugged Build
Feature: High-quality rubber discs mounted on a heavy-duty steel frame with advanced labyrinth seals.
Advantage: The robust construction handles the abrasive return strand, while the seals keep bearings safe from contaminants.
Benefit: Delivers a long, reliable service life even in the harshest mining and cement plant environments, providing an excellent return on investment.
A Highly Cost-Effective Upgrade
Feature: Simple, proven design that prevents more expensive problems.
Advantage: Avoids the high costs associated with belt damage, excessive spillage cleanup, and emergency downtime.
Benefit: A small investment in disc idlers protects against much larger, unplanned capital expenditures, making it one of the most cost-effective improvements you can make.
