Idlers are an important part of conveyor systems and are used to move the transported goods. They are usually made of metal and consist of a roller and a bearing. However, the storage floors can be made of different materials, such as plastic or sheet steel.
Plastic storage floors are usually made of polyamide or polypropylene. They are characterized by their high corrosion resistance and are therefore particularly suitable for use in damp environments. They are also lighter than sheet steel storage floors and are therefore easier to assemble. However, plastic storage floors also have their limitations and are not suitable for use in areas with heavy loads.
Sheet steel storage floors are made of sheet steel and are characterized by their robustness and resilience. They are particularly suitable for use in heavily stressed areas, such as in heavy industry. Sheet steel storage floors have a higher load-bearing capacity than plastic storage floors and can therefore also transport heavier loads.
The most obvious difference between conveyor rollers with plastic bearing bases and conveyor rollers with sheet steel bearing bases is the material of the bearing bases. Plastic storage floors are lighter than sheet steel storage floors and are therefore easier to assemble. In addition, they are more resistant to corrosion and can therefore also be used in humid environments. Conveyor rollers with sheet steel bearing floors, on the other hand, are more robust and can carry higher loads. They are therefore particularly suitable for use in industrial applications where heavy loads have to be transported.
Another difference is the type of reel body. Idlers with plastic bearing bases can have a plastic roller body, while idlers with sheet steel bearing bases often have a roller body made of galvanized steel. This makes them even more stable and resistant to mechanical loads. Which variant you choose depends on various factors: the intended use, the goods to be transported and the environmental conditions on site. In any case, the right bearings should be selected - because this is the only way to guarantee smooth operation and a long service life. Irrespective of this, modern conveyor roller systems today offer numerous advantages: they enable fast assembly times thanks to pre-assembled components, they ensure less wear and tear thanks to optimized materials, and last but not least they also reduce energy costs thanks to their high efficiency when transporting goods on conveyor systems of all kinds.

Tape stations are used in a wide range of industries. They play a critical role in the efficient movement of bulk materials, ores, coal, gravel, sand, grain and other materials. Conveyor stations are used in mines, quarries, power plants, warehouses and many other facilities to effectively transport materials. These systems are the backbone of numerous production processes and enable…
The exact number of pieces, the choice between 2-part and 3-part belt stations, the belt width, the roll diameter, the roll length, the trough, the profile of the threshold, the lintel, the type of fastening and the material of the belt station are crucial steps in order to to ensure exact fit and functionality. This results in a conveyor system that not only works reliably and efficiently,...
