Rubber Disc Return Idler

Product Introduction 

Rubber disc return idlers are an essential component of conveyor systems. 

Their primary function is to support and guide the conveyor belt on its return path. 

When the conveyor belt has transported materials to the discharge point, it needs to return to the loading area. 

Rubber disc return idlers for conveyor also help to prevent the belt from sagging or coming into contact with other parts of the conveyor structure on the return side. 

By maintaining the correct belt path, they reduce the risk of belt damage such as abrasion, which can occur if the belt rubs against sharp edges or other hard surfaces during the return process.

The Conveyor Rubber Disc Return Rollers ensure that the belt travels smoothly and is properly supported during this return journey.

Feature

The rubber discs are designed to have high durability to withstand the wear and tear caused by the continuous contact with the conveyor belt and the operating environment. 

The rubber material is selected for its abrasion resistance, ozone resistance, and resistance to other environmental factors such as chemicals and temperature variations. 

For example, in a conveyor system used in a chemical - processing plant, the rubber discs may need to be made of a rubber compound that can resist the corrosive effects of chemicals.

The axle and frame of the idlers are also made of materials with good strength and corrosion resistance. 

The frame is usually made of steel or aluminum with appropriate surface treatments (such as galvanizing or painting) to prevent rust. 

The seals around the bearings are designed to prevent the ingress of dust, water, and other contaminants that could damage the bearings and reduce the idler's overall durability.

Where Is It Used

Rubber disc return idlers are widely used in various industries. In mining operations, they are used in conveyor systems that transport ores and minerals. The ability to handle the heavy loads and the shock - absorbing characteristics make them suitable for this environment. In the construction industry, they are used in conveyor systems for transporting building materials such as sand, gravel, and cement.
