Conveyor return idler

As one of the most crucial components of a conveyor system, conveyor return idlers also come with a price tag. They are integral part of enabling the conveyor belt to run smoothly and efficiently. These idlers can be found on the return side of the conveyor belt, which is the side that returns back to the point where the belt started. This text will elaborate on the specifications with which one should go through to select the conveyor return idlers of a few specification along with maintenance tips to ensure the conveyor system works effectively.   

Return idlers are used to support the return side of a conveyor belt. Their primary role is to help maintain the tension on the belt and keep it oriented. This is critical as a loose belt will prematurely wear out the belt. “The idlers prevent the belt from damaging or ultimately wearing out too soon,” lui said. They do this by helping to return the belt to the drive pulley, which is the part that actually causes the belt to move. The idlers keep the belt from sagging or rolling to one side. This way, they keep the belt centered and the belt tracks perfectly without any problems.

The correct selection of conveyor return idlers is very crucial for the overall productivity of the conveyor system. And you want to ensure that the idlers can take the load, speed, and size of the conveyor belt. Using the wrong idler type can result in slip or misalignment of the belt. It could cause numerous problems like downtime and increase maintenance costs. Hence, it is necessary that the suitable conveyor return idlers be used according to your requirements and the feature of your conveyor system.
