The Types of Rollers for Belt Conveyors

The types of drive rollers for belt conveyors mainly include the following:

  Drive Pulley: It is the component that transmits power in a belt conveyor, connected to the motor and reducer, located at the upper part of the belt conveyor, and consists of the main shaft roller bearing and bearing housing.

  Redirecting Pulley: Also known as a guide roller, it mainly controls the direction of the conveyor's transportation, and its structural composition is the same as that of the conveying roller.

  Idlers: Used to support the conveyor belt, divided into upper and lower idlers.

  Upper idler rollers: Located on the upper part of the conveyor belt, they are typically composed of three rollers combined together to support the upper conveyor belt, assist in transporting materials, and prevent materials from rolling off the belt.

  Lower idler roller: Located at the lower part of the conveyor belt, it supports the lower conveyor belt. Function, properties, and composition are the same as the upper support roller.
