An Idler or Roller is a crucial component of a conveyor system, used to support the conveyor belt and the materials being transported. They ensure smooth belt movement and maintain alignment, contributing to the efficiency and longevity of the system.

• Support the conveyor belt and maintain its shape, preventing sagging or stretching.
• Provide the necessary tension for the conveyor belt to operate effectively.
• Carrying idlers support the loaded section of the belt, ensuring the material is transported smoothly.
• Align the belt and keep it on track to avoid slippage or misalignment.
• Training idlers correct misaligned belts by providing guidance.
• Minimize friction between the moving belt and the support structure, reducing wear and tear.
• Impact idlers absorb the shock of material being dropped onto the belt, preventing damage.
• Troughing idlers shape the belt into a "U" profile to contain bulk materials during transportation.
• Return idlers support the return side of the belt, keeping it flat and free of debris.
• Some rollers incorporate scrapers or cleaning devices to remove material adhering to the belt.

• Carrying Idlers support the loaded belt during transport and are positioned along the carrying side.
• Return Idlers support the empty belt on its return path and are located beneath the carrying side.
• Impact Idlers absorb impact at loading points to reduce belt wear.
• Troughing Idlers form a trough for bulk material handling.
• Flat Idlers are single horizontal rollers for light-duty applications.
• Self-Aligning Idlers adjust to the belt's movement to maintain alignment.
• Transition Idlers transition the belt from a trough to a flat surface at the start or end.

• Steel Rollers are durable, suited for heavy-duty applications, and resistant to abrasion and impact.
• Plastic Rollers are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for food processing or corrosive environments.
• Rubber-Covered Rollers reduce noise and vibration, ideal for delicate or fragile materials.
• Drive Rollers provide the friction needed to move the conveyor belt, used in powered conveyor systems.
• Guide Rollers assist in keeping the belt aligned and stable, used with training or self-aligning idlers.

• Load Capacity: Ensure the roller can handle the material weight.
• Belt Speed: Match the roller design with operational speed to avoid overheating or wear.
• Environment: Consider factors like temperature, humidity, and exposure to corrosive materials.
• Noise Levels: Rubber-coated or polymer rollers are quieter for sensitive environments.
• Maintenance Needs: Choose rollers with minimal maintenance requirements for long-term efficiency.

Idlers and rollers are critical components in conveyor systems used across various industries for transporting materials. They support and guide the conveyor belt, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
