Flexible rollers consist of a flexible metal core coated with vulcanized neoprene rubber, to which rubber rings are applied, usually black neoprene for its excellent abrasion resistance. Upon request, white rubber rings can be used, which are ideal for transporting food products.
The core of the roller is a highly flexible steel cable, at the ends of which 2 ball bearings or, alternatively, 4 bearings can be mounted, depending on the type. These bearings, which are carefully protected, are inserted into hook bearing housings made of cast iron.
The conveyor belt adheres completely to the roller, forming a regular trough with an angle of inclination between 20° and 45°, determined by the distance between the rings that constrain the attachment hooks.
Flexible rollers are an efficient solution for conveyor belt systems designed for light to medium loads and low speeds, even in harsh environments. They are lightweight, easy to install, impact resistant, durable to abrasion, and equipped with a self-cleaning function.
