Disc rollers with sleeves are key components in belt conveyor systems, as they perform a dual function: on the one hand, they support and shape the lower belt tie rod during the return stroke, and on the other hand, they actively contribute to automatic belt cleaning by removing excess material that tends to accumulate over time. This action helps prevent premature wear, jams and malfunctions, which has a direct impact on operational continuity and overall plant efficiency. Proper roller operation results in reduced downtime, less need for maintenance work, and a longer life span for the entire conveyor system.
In terms of construction, the rollers are made from a strong, powder-coated steel tube that provides resistance to corrosion and external agents. Rubber or polyurethane discs are mounted on this tube, materials specially chosen to offer high elasticity, abrasion resistance and long life even in harsh environments. The discs are separated by plastic spacer sleeves, which ensure proper positioning and alignment of the system, preventing deformation or displacement that could impair belt operation.
Overall, disc rollers with sleeves are an effective and reliable solution for improving the performance of conveyor belts, ensuring consistent cleanliness, increased operational efficiency and significantly reduced maintenance costs.
