Spiral Idlers Key Specifications

Roller Diameter

89mm and 108mm spiral rollers with continuous rubber spiral for active outward displacement of fibrous carryback.

Spiral Pitch

Optimized spiral pitch of 60-100mm for effective displacement of lightweight mineral fiber and glass wool residue.

Rubber Profile

12-18mm raised spiral rubber profile that channels fibrous carryback outward from belt center to edges for gravity shedding.

Bearing Type

6204 sealed bearings with multi-lip seals designed for continuous exposure to fine mineral fiber and glass dust.

Spiral Direction

Left-hand and right-hand spiral options, typically paired in opposing configurations for balanced material discharge.

Chemical Compatibility

Rubber compound resistant to phenolic and formaldehyde binder chemicals found in insulation production environments.

Industrial Applications

Mineral Wool Return Belt Cleaning
Actively spiraling mineral wool fiber residue off return belts to prevent buildup-induced mistracking on production conveyors.
Binder-Contaminated Belt Returns
Displacing sticky binder-coated fiber residue from return belts downstream of resin application and curing zones.
Glass Fiber Return Conveyors
Moving fine glass fiber carryback outward on return belts in fiberglass insulation forming and trimming conveyor systems.
