Guide Idlers Key Specifications

Edge Roller Configuration

Vertical rubber-faced guide rollers mounted in pairs to provide bilateral belt edge restraint on coal handling plant conveyors.

Roller Diameter

63.5 mm to 101.6 mm vertical guide rollers with weather-resistant rubber lagging for outdoor CHP conveyor installations.

Lateral Force Capacity

2.5 kN per side lateral restraint for 1000-1800 mm wide belts on power plant coal conveyors operating at 2-4 m/s belt speed.

Bracket Design

Galvanized steel adjustable brackets with slotted mounting for field adjustment of guide roller position relative to belt edge.

Bearing Type

Sealed deep groove ball bearings rated for outdoor operation with coal dust and moisture exposure in CHP environments.

Installation Locations

Industrial Applications

Stacker-Reclaimer Boom Conveyors
Guide idlers on stacker boom conveyors maintain belt alignment during boom slewing and luffing movements in coal stockyard operations.
Shuttle Conveyor Belt Guidance
Movable shuttle conveyors in coal bunker filling systems require guide idlers at both ends to manage belt lateral movement during shuttle travel.
Post-Tippler Loading Zone
Guide idlers downstream of wagon tippler loading chutes contain belt drift caused by off-center and variable coal discharge patterns.
