Centering Idler DTII Groove Conveyor System

Centering Idler DTII Groove

Idler is an important part of belt conveyor, which has many kinds and large quantity. It accounts for 35% of the total cost of a belt conveyor and bears more than 70% of the resistance, so the quality of the idler is particularly important.

The role of idler is to support the weight of conveyor belt and material. The operation of idler must be flexible and reliable. Reducing the friction between conveyor belt and idler plays a key role in the service life of conveyor belt which accounts for more than 25% of the total cost of conveyor. Although the idler is a small part in the belt conveyor and its structure is not complex, it is not easy to make high quality idler.

There are several criteria to judge whether the idler is good or bad: the radial runout of the idler; the flexibility of the idler; the axial displacement.

Characteristics of parallel idler

The parallel idler has very high wear resistance, very low friction coefficient, and is not easy to wear the belt; it has excellent self-lubricating property, no need to inject oil, and is not easy to be stuck when it is used under bad conditions; it has anti-static, anti combustion, anti-aging, acid, alkali and organic solvent corrosion resistance; it can withstand repeated impact and vibration; the service temperature range is - 40 ℃ -90 ℃; excellent mechanical properties, light weight, easy installation, no maintenance; stable operation, long life and other characteristics.
