Conveyor Idler Rolls

Conveyor idler rolls are integral components of belt conveying systems as they provide load support and control of the belt troughing profile. Between 10-20 per cent of the overall rolling losses of a belt conveyor can be caused by the idler rolls of a belt conveyor system. Therefore, care must be taken to choose the best idler roll design for the respective purpose.
