The idler is like the supporting part of the entire belt conveyor. Without it, it is impossible to complete a normal transportation. It is very important. Then there are many types of idlers and a large number.

The idler is like the supporting part of the entire belt conveyor. Without it, it is impossible to complete a normal transportation. It is very important. Then there are many types of idlers and a large number. The idler alone accounts for 35% of a belt conveyor, then the following editor will classify the types of idlers according to the material and use, let's take a look together, I hope it can help you!
1. According to the material, it can be divided into plastic idlers, ceramic idlers, rubber idlers, and metal idlers.
1. Plastic roller: It has the characteristics of dustproof, waterproof and anti-corrosion, and at the same time has low power consumption, low noise and long service life.
2. Ceramic roller: It has the characteristics of insulation, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and not easy to stick, but its impact resistance is poor.
3. Rubber roller: light in weight and good in shock absorption, but has high friction, is not resistant to corrosion, and is easy to age.
4. Metal idler roller: it has good impact resistance and is not easy to deform, but it cannot be vibrated repeatedly. easy to break.
Second, according to the use, it can be divided into trough idlers, parallel idlers, buffer idlers, comb and spiral idlers.
1. Trough type idler roller: It is mainly used to carry the branch to convey bulk materials, and it is also a relatively common type of idler roller.
2. Parallel rollers: Parallel upper rollers are mainly used to carry the branch to convey the finished items, and the parallel lower rollers are mainly used to support the conveyor belt on the return branch.
3. Buffer roller: it is installed under the receiving section of the conveyor, which can effectively reduce the impact on the conveyor belt and prolong the service life of the conveyor belt.
4. Comb type and spiral type idlers: mainly used to clean up the sticky material on the conveyor belt and keep the surface of the conveyor belt clean.
The above is the whole content of sorting out the classification of idlers for everyone, welcome to add discussion!
