Heat Treatment
Heat-treated guide rollers, while optional, are recommended for demanding applications due to their superior durability, wear resistance, and ability to handle heavy loads. These properties lead to a longer service life and reduced maintenance costs.
| Feature | Heat Treated (Hard) | Soft Rollers |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Very High | High |
| Wear Resistance | Very Good | Good |
| Service Life | Est. 10 years | Est. 3 years |
| Dust Covers | Optional (+$10) | Optional (+$10) |
| Best For | Abrasive/Heavy-Duty | Light/Medium-Duty |
Mechanical Dust Cover
Mechanical dust covers prevent debris and dust from entering the inner bearing core which could lead to damaging the leading edge of the belt – we highly recommend them.
Note for installation: Dust covers are typically only needed when the guide roller is mounted above the belt (steel spindle / shaft pointing upwards), as gravity may allow contaminants to enter the bearing core.
Benefits
Keep the conveyor belt in alignment: Prevent your conveyor belt from moving off course, causing material spillage, safety hazards, and unnecessary belt damage.
Outlasts rubber, UHMW, nylons, plastics, and polyurethane: Cheaper side guide rollers last months compared to a quality steel guide roller which can last years
Secure the belt edge: The guide rollers mitigate belt oscillation and heave, eliminate risks of belt entrapment and climb-over, and absorb lateral belt loads to prevent edge curl.
Made for surface & underground mining, cement, aggregate, and corrosive rock salts: Trusted by international mining companies to operate in the harshest environments and applications.
Installations
- Near the tail and drive pulleys
- At loading and unloading zones where material is fed onto or discharged from the belt
- Before and after transition points or direction changes in the conveyor path
- In long straight sections and inclined/declined sections of the conveyor
- Areas of high belt tension
- On the carry (top) side and return (bottom) side of long conveyors over 200 ft long or with high speeds
- Where the conveyor experiences pronounced belt run-off tendency and considerable transverse forces (e.g. side loading, diverter bars, multiple redirections in belt path)
- Behind the loading point if there is a long slack side
