The handling rollers: Key components of a belt conveyor system

Belt conveyors are indispensable in many industries, from mining to food processing. They enable fast, efficient transport of bulk materials. Handling rollers play an important role in the performance and durability of these conveyor systems.

Characteristics of handling rollers

Conveyor rollers have several characteristics within a belt conveyor:

– Conveyor belt support :
carrier rollers form the solid base that supports the belt and the loads conveyed, while reducing belt tension and wear.

– Belt guidance :
handling rollers ensure a stable, straight path for the conveyor belt, avoiding lateral deviations and friction with other conveyor elements.

– Friction reduction :
Thanks to their low coefficient of friction and the quality of their bearings, conveyor rollers help to reduce rolling resistance and energy losses, thus improving the overall efficiency of the conveyor belt.

Selection criteria for conveyor belt rollers

To choose the best handling rollers for your belt conveyor, you need to take several factors into account:

– Load capacity: it’s important to check that the chosen rollers can bear the weight of the products to be transported, taking into account any load peaks.

– Roll diameter and length: these dimensions must be adapted to the widths and lengths of the belt conveyors, and to the format of the products conveyed (thickness, winding radius).

– Materials and coatings: these depend on the chemical, mechanical and environmental constraints (corrosion, temperature, humidity) to which the handling rollers will be exposed.

– Rotational speed: the selection of ball bearings or other types of rollers must take into account the linear speeds required to ensure smooth, quiet operation.

– Applicable standards and certifications: in some sectors, it is necessary to comply with specific regulations concerning contact with foodstuffs and sensitive substances.

To optimize the operation and durability of your belt conveyor, choosing the right combinations of conveyor rollers is crucial. Taking the above selection criteria into account will help you improve the overall efficiency of your transport process and reduce maintenance costs.
