Rubber Disc Idlers Key Specifications

Disc Diameter

108mm, 127mm, and 152mm rubber discs with individual rotation capability to shed carryback material from iron ore and sinter.

Disc Material

Natural rubber or SBR compound discs with 50-60 Shore A hardness, resistant to abrasive iron fines and moderate heat.

Disc Spacing

Discs spaced at 30-50mm intervals on the shaft, creating gaps that allow carryback to fall away under gravity.

Bearing Type

6205 sealed bearings with labyrinth seals protecting against fine iron ore dust penetration into bearing housings.

Shaft Diameter

25mm and 30mm precision-ground steel shafts supporting disc assemblies for belt widths from 600mm to 1600mm.

Operating Temperature

Rated for continuous operation up to 65 degrees C, suitable for return runs near sinter coolers and hot material zones.

Industrial Applications

Sinter Fines Carryback Management
Preventing sinter fines from accumulating on return belts, reducing belt mistracking and idler damage on sinter plant conveyors.
Iron Ore Return Belt Cleaning
Shedding sticky iron ore carryback on return idler positions downstream of belt scrapers on ore handling conveyors.
Coal Handling Plant Returns
Managing moist coal fines buildup on return belts in captive coal handling plants feeding coke ovens and power generation units.
