Frequently Asked Questions

Conveyor idlers are the rollers that support and guide the conveyor belt along its path. They maintain belt alignment, absorb impact, and carry heavy loads through constant motion. Idlers are essential to system performance—if one fails, the whole line can stall.

We supply a complete range of idler types, including:

  • Troughing Idlers – cradle the belt to keep material centered and reduce spillage.
  • Impact Idlers – absorb shock at loading zones to protect your belt.
  • Return Idlers – support the return side of the belt for smooth tracking.
  • Training Idlers – automatically correct belt alignment to prevent drift.

Each style is available in multiple diameters and bearing configurations to match your equipment and operating conditions.

Check regularly for signs of wear, misalignment, or vibration. Replacing worn parts helps prevent breakdowns and extend equipment life.
