Self-Cleaning Idlers Key Specifications

Roller Diameter

108mm and 127mm rollers with helical rubber cleaning elements designed for continuous self-cleaning action.

Cleaning Element Design

Helical rubber wiper blades vulcanized to roller surface, creating a continuous cleaning action as the roller rotates.

Rubber Compound

Abrasion-resistant SBR rubber compound rated for contact with iron ore fines, sinter dust, and coal particles.

Bearing Type

6205 and 6305 bearings with triple-lip seals for extended service life in heavily contaminated steel plant atmospheres.

Roller Length

Available in lengths from 600mm to 2000mm for belt widths commonly used in steel plant material handling systems.

Rotation Speed

Effective cleaning at belt speeds from 1.5 to 5.0 m/s, covering the typical speed range of steel plant conveyors.

Industrial Applications

Wet Ore Conveyor Returns
Cleaning return belts on conveyors handling moisture-laden iron ore from washing plants where material adhesion is severe.
Sinter Mix Return Belts
Removing sticky sinter mix residue from return belts to prevent buildup-induced mistracking on sinter plant feed conveyors.
Pellet Plant Conveyors
Shedding green pellet dust and fines from return belts in iron ore pelletizing plants to maintain clean belt operation.
