Flat Idlers

Flat idlers are commonly used components in belt conveyors. Their main design purpose is to support the conveyor belt and provide stable support during material transportation, ensuring the belt operates smoothly under optimal conditions. Zoomry’s flat idlers, made with high-quality materials, precise manufacturing processes, and excellent durability, effectively reduce equipment failure and increase production efficiency.

■ Application Scenarios

Flat idlers are widely used in various belt conveyor systems, especially in applications requiring stable support for materials and the conveyor belt. They are suitable for many industrial environments, particularly in ports, mines, metallurgy, power plants, cement plants, chemical industries, and grain silos, where they play an essential role.

● Ports and Terminals: In ports and terminals, flat idlers are mainly used to support the transport of bulk materials, capable of bearing large loads, ensuring the transportation system runs efficiently and stably.

● Mines: In mining, belt conveyors handle bulk materials that require significant support. Flat idlers provide stable support for the conveyor belt, effectively preventing stoppages caused by belt misalignment or equipment failures.

● Cement Plants: During cement production, material transportation requires idlers to be wear-resistant. Flat idlers reduce failures caused by frequent belt wear, extending the service life of the equipment.

● Power Industry: Material transportation in power plants often involves high temperatures and heavy loads. The use of flat idlers ensures the conveyor belt remains stable, reducing system downtime.

● Chemical Plants and Fertilizer Factories: In fertilizer and chemical production, flat idlers help maintain accurate belt alignment, preventing production losses caused by belt misalignment.

● Grain Silos and Sand Plants: In grain silos, storage facilities, and sand plants, flat idlers not only need to be wear-resistant but also need strong load-bearing capacity to ensure stable material transport.

■ Product Features

● High Load Capacity: Zoomry’s flat idlers are made from high-strength steel, enabling them to effectively carry heavy loads and ensure stable conveyor belt system operation.

● Strong Wear Resistance: The idler surface undergoes special treatments to provide excellent wear resistance, reducing wear over time and extending the equipment's lifespan.

● Corrosion Resistance: In corrosive environments, flat idlers are made with anti-corrosion materials or surface treatments to withstand chemicals, moisture, and other corrosive substances.

● Easy Installation and Maintenance: The simple design of flat idlers requires no additional adjustments during installation and is easy to replace and maintain, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

● Adaptability to Various Work Environments: Flat idlers perform reliably in a wide range of environments, including high and low temperatures, humid or dry conditions, ensuring the dependability of the conveyor system.

■ Product Types

● Flat Carrying Idler

The flat carrying idler is primarily used on the carrying side of the conveyor belt. Typically consisting of a single idler, it supports the conveyor belt and the material on it, suitable for flat belt conveyor systems.

● Flat Return Idler

The flat return idler is used on the return side of the conveyor belt, typically consisting of a single idler that effectively supports the return belt, ensuring stable conveyor operation.

● Trough-Type Flat Idler

The trough-type flat idler is a special type of flat idler for belt conveyors, designed for trough conveyors. It provides better support for the belt through the combination of multiple idlers.

● Flat Self-Aligning Idler

The flat self-aligning idler automatically adjusts the alignment of the conveyor belt, preventing equipment damage caused by belt misalignment. It is suitable for conveyor systems requiring self-aligning functionality.

● Flat Friction Self-Aligning Idler

The flat friction self-aligning idler, designed with friction rollers, offers more precise alignment adjustment, suitable for high-precision conveyor systems.
