What is the purpose of a bulk material conveyor roller?

Idlers are essential components of conveyor systems that efficiently transport materials such as sand, gravel, cement or iron ore. They support the weight of the bulk material and enable a smooth flow of material over long distances. Their robust construction means they are specially designed for use in demanding environments where heavy loads are moved.

What is a gravity roller or conveyor roller?

A gravity roller or conveyor roller is used when goods need to be moved without a drive. The movement is achieved by a gradient and the resulting pressure of the goods being transported. Gravity rollers play a central role in material handling and logistics systems as they enable goods to be transported smoothly and efficiently. These rollers offer an energy-efficient solution and are ideal for applications where materials such as sand, cement or gravel are moved with minimal energy expenditure.

What are bulk material rollers used for?

Idlers are used to transport bulk materials quickly and efficiently from one point to another. They support the weight of the materials and ensure a smooth movement that optimizes the flow of materials. They are used in particular in gravel works, cement factories or in the extraction of raw materials such as iron ore.

Why are support rollers or conveyor rollers important?

Bulk material conveyor rollers are crucial for transporting large quantities of materials safely and efficiently. They reduce the physical effort required of employees, speed up production processes and ensure that loads are evenly distributed on the conveyor belt. This extends the service life of the conveyor system and increases operational reliability.

How many types of idlers are there on conveyor belts?

The variety of support rollers is large and ranges from rollers for light applications to those for heavy loads. Depending on the intended use, support rollers can be made of stainless steel for hygienic requirements, such as in the food industry, or of thick-walled steel for robust operating conditions. The design of the support rollers is adapted to the specific requirements in order to ensure optimal results under different conditions.

What are support rollers or conveyor rollers used for?

Idlers are used in numerous areas of application such as production, logistics or gravel works. They support the weight of the material being conveyed and enable it to be transported smoothly. The load is distributed evenly across the conveyor belt, which stabilizes the movement. This is particularly important to ensure the continuous flow of material in industrial applications.

How do bulk material rollers work?

Bulk material conveyor rollers consist of a robust tube, an axle and ball bearings that enable smooth rotation. This design ensures that the bulk material is transported safely and evenly over the conveyor belt. They are specifically designed to function reliably under high loads and difficult conditions.

What types of support rollers or conveyor rollers are there?

Support rollers can be individually adapted to the customer's requirements. There are rollers with differently designed bearing bases made of sheet metal, steel or plastic. The tubes can also be made of different materials such as plastic or steel and can be coated cylindrically or conically as required. A distinction is also made between driven and non-driven rollers and between light, medium and heavy support rollers, which opens up a wide range of possible applications.
