Troughed Idlers

The troughed idlers manufactured by Zoomry Heavy Industry are mainly used to support the conveyor belt and the bulk material being transported. The design of the troughed idlers creates a “trough” shape on the conveyor belt, effectively preventing material spillage and ensuring smooth material transport. We offer troughed idlers in various configurations, including three-roll, five-roll, and six-roll types, to meet different conveyor belt designs and operational requirements, ensuring efficient and stable material handling.

■ Application

Troughed idlers are widely used in various conveyor systems, particularly for handling large quantities of bulk materials. In industries such as mining, steel, coal, power, fertilizer, grain, chemicals, and construction materials, troughed idlers help ensure the stable operation of belt conveyors, reducing material waste. They are also commonly used in large conveyor systems and overland conveyors, helping to maintain material stability, prevent spillage, and increase conveying efficiency.  

Additionally, troughed idlers can be used in self-cleaning systems to prevent material buildup on the conveyor belt, reducing wear and extending equipment life. With multiple angle configurations such as 20°, 35°, and 45°, troughed idlers can be adjusted according to the material characteristics and operating conditions to ensure the belt remains in optimal working condition.

■ Features

● High Load Capacity: Made from high-quality steel or stainless steel materials, our troughed idlers provide strong load-bearing capacity and are designed to withstand heavy loads in harsh environments.  

● Strong Wear Resistance: Featuring advanced sealing designs and durable materials, troughed idlers are highly wear-resistant, reducing wear caused by friction.  

● Multiple Angle Options: We offer troughed idlers in a variety of angles, including 20°, 35°, and 45°, to accommodate different material handling requirements.  

● Energy-Efficient: The design of the troughed idlers optimizes the conveyor belt's running path, reducing friction and energy loss, thus enhancing conveyor efficiency and lowering energy consumption.  

● Extended Equipment Lifespan: By reducing belt misalignment and wear, troughed idlers help extend the life of the belt conveyor, reducing maintenance frequency and costs.

■ Product Types

● Carrying Belt Troughed Idler (3 Rollers)

This three-roll type is suitable for general carrying belt conveyor systems, providing even support to ensure smooth operation of the belt.

● Carrying Belt Troughed Idler (5 Rollers)

The five-roll type is ideal for heavy-duty conveyor systems, capable of bearing heavier loads and preventing belt misalignment to ensure stable material transport.

● Carrying Belt Troughed Idler (6 Rollers)

The six-roll type is designed for ultra-heavy-duty and high-load conveyor systems, offering stronger support and greater stability for efficient material handling.

● Return Belt Troughed Idler (2 Rollers)

This type of troughed idler is used in the return section of the conveyor belt to reduce friction and wear, ensuring smooth return of the conveyor belt to the starting point.

● Impact Troughed Idler (3 Rollers)

Impact troughed idlers are used in areas with high impact forces, helping to absorb the impact of the material and reducing damage to the conveyor belt, thereby extending equipment lifespan.
