Flexible rollers consist of a flexible metal core coated with vulcanized neoprene rubber, onto which rubber rings are applied, generally in black neoprene for its excellent abrasion resistance. Upon request, white rubber rings can be used, which are ideal for transporting food products.
The heart 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 supports made of cast iron.
The conveyor belt adheres completely to the roller, forming a regular trough with an inclination angle between 20° and 45°, determined by the distance between the rings that secure the attachment hooks.
Flexible rollers are an efficient solution for conveyor belt systems intended for light or medium loads and low speeds, even in harsh environments. They are lightweight, easy to assemble, impact-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and equipped with a self-cleaning function.
