Idlers are vital to the conveying process. They support the belt and the conveyed material throughout its entire length, preventing it from stretching and eventually failing. Conveyor rollers are often required to operate in harsh environments such as dirt, dust, high humidity, and elevated high or low temperatures.
Impact idlers, also known as impact rollers or impact beds, are a specific type of conveyor belt idlers designed to handle the impact and shock of heavy and large-sized materials during loading and transfer processes.
They are used to support the conveyor belt in areas where the material may be dropped from a height, such as loading points, transfer points, and other critical locations along the conveyor route.
