HEAVY-DUTY ROLLER

Heavy-duty rollers: Key components of a belt conveyor system

The conveyor consists of an endless belt that rests on support rollers, enabling the objects placed on it to be moved.

There are several belt types to suit the different needs of each industry. Depending on the type of product and its weight, you need to choose top-quality rollers that guarantee optimum performance over time. A heavy-duty conveyor belt roller is a rotating cylinder that supports and steers the conveyor belt in heavy material conveying systems. These rollers are designed to withstand heavy loads, reducing wear and extending conveyor life.

The benefits of a heavy-duty roller for your conveyor belt

The choice of rollers on a belt conveyor is essential to ensure optimum performance and extended equipment life.

– Load capacity :
A roller’s load capacity varies according to its design and manufacturing materials. Nevertheless, heavy-duty rollers must offer a higher load capacity than other types of roller, enabling larger quantities of product to be transported without difficulty.

– Manufacturing materials :
Heavy-duty rollers are made of steel to ensure robustness and durability.

– Diameter and length :
The diameter and length of the heavy-duty rollers are also important to ensure optimum load distribution on the conveyor. A wide range of sizes enables us to adapt to the specific needs of each application.

Benefits of the heavy-duty roller

– Sturdiness: heavy-duty rollers guarantee effective support for even the heaviest products, making them easier to transport through industrial facilities.
– Reduced friction points: thanks to their robust, heavy-duty design, heavy-duty rollers minimize friction between belt and rollers, reducing wear and extending roller life.
– Long service life: heavy-duty rollers generally have a longer service life than other types of roller, due to their design, which focuses on robustness and resistance.
– Low maintenance requirements: with a higher load capacity and greater wear resistance, heavy-duty rollers require less maintenance, reducing operating costs and improving productivity.
