Description

Taper self aligning idler is a type of self-aligning idler that uses the shape of the rollers themselves to guide the conveyor belt. It includes carrier taper self aligning idler and return taper  self aligning idler.

Specification

♦ For Belt Width: 400-2800mm

♦ Trough angles: 10°-45° or adjustable

♦ Surface Treatment: Electrostatic Powder Coating, Galvanization.

♦ Standard: DIN, CEMA, JIS, AS, SANS-SABS, GOST, AFNOR etc.

♦ Frame material:Q235 equal to S235JR,Q345 or according to customer's requirements.

♦ Frame type:Angle Iron, Channel Steel, Steel Pipe

Features

♦ Gentle Belt Guiding: The tapered design provides a smooth and gentle method of belt tracking, which is beneficial for more sensitive or lightweight belts.

♦ Reduces Belt Edge Stress: Because the corrective action is based on the roller's shape rather than direct friction on the belt edge, it can be less stressful on the belt.

♦ Effective for Both Load and Return Sides: Tapered idlers can be installed on both the carrying (load) side and the return side of the conveyor to ensure proper alignment throughout the entire belt circuit.

♦ Simple and Reliable: The design is relatively simple and has proven to be a reliable method for belt alignment.

Applications

♦ Load and Return Sides: They are commonly used on both sides of the conveyor. On the return side, they help ensure the belt is properly aligned before it reaches the loading point.

♦ Medium-Duty Applications: Tapered idlers are well-suited for a wide range of general-purpose and medium-duty conveying applications.

♦ Systems with Varying Loads: They can adapt to changes in load and belt tension.

♦ Wide Range of Industries: Like friction idlers, they are used in mining, agriculture, package handling, and other industries where belt alignment is crucial.

♦ Effective Belt Training: Friction idlers are very effective at keeping the belt centered, especially on conveyors where drift is a persistent problem.

♦ Reduced Belt Damage: By preventing the belt from rubbing against the conveyor structure, they significantly reduce wear and tear on the belt edges, extending its lifespan.

♦ Improved Safety: They prevent material spillage and the safety hazards that come with a misaligned belt.

♦ Automatic Operation: They provide a continuous, automatic solution to belt alignment, reducing the need for manual adjustments.

♦ Reversible Conveyors: Friction idlers are particularly useful on reversible belts, where other types of self-aligning idlers might not function correctly.

♦ Long Conveyors: On long conveyor systems, where even minor misalignment can become a major issue over distance.

♦ High-Speed or High-Load Conveyors: In applications where the forces on the belt are significant, making alignment more challenging.

♦ General Use: They are widely used in mining, aggregate, and other bulk material handling industries to maintain proper belt tracking.
