Conveyor rollers for bulk materials are used in belt conveyors for transporting coal, ore, sand and similar materials. They reduce friction and belt wear, ensuring smooth and continuous conveyor operation.
Main types of rollers for belt conveyors:
- Carrying rollers – support the belt on the carrying side, ensuring stable movement of the load.
- Return rollers – support the belt on the return (idle) side, reducing belt sag.
- Impact rollers – installed in loading areas to absorb shock loads.
- Guide rollers – prevent the belt from drifting off its path.
- Tracking rollers – help maintain straight belt alignment.
- Self-cleaning rollers – clean the belt from material residues in the idle area.
