Troughing idlers
Troughs are the most common idlers used on the carry side of the conveyor.
Extending their life expectancy can be a challenge. Our proven seal design and low maintenance rollers lead to less downtime and increased profits.
Metso Outotec’s troughing idlers come in 20°, 35°, and 45° and meet all CEMA dimensional requirements.
Impact idlers
Damaged conveyor belts can result in downtime and high replacement costs.
Our impact idlers are designed to be used in impact areas where belt damage is common.
Impact rolls are designed with rubber tires which absorb impact forces minimizing belt damage.
Picking table idlers
When conducting visual or magnetic inspections, conveyed materials that are not properly flattened can cause issues.
Metso Outotec’s picking table idlers spread the material out by using a longer centre roll and short concentrator rolls angled at 20° making inspection or tramp iron detection easier and more reliable.
Flat belt idlers
In feeder applications, wide coverage is needed.
Metso Outotec provides a flat belt idler with a single roll placed horizontally supported on each end.
It has a rise bracket to provide the widest coverage while metering material flow.
Self-training idlers
Material spillage can occur when conveyor belts become misaligned. Strategically placing self-training idlers along the conveyor keep the belt running true.
Metso Outotec’s self-trainers are like troughing idlers, but with the ability to pivot at the centre and are guided by edge rollers which in turn align the belt.
Live shaft idlers
High belt tensions can cause idlers to fail. Live shaft idlers are designed to handle higher allowable loads than flat belt idlers.
Live shafts are comprised of a single roll with a pillow block bearing at each end.
