Product Description

The comb-shaped idler is an important component of the belt conveyor. Here is a brief introduction to it:
 
Structural Features
 
The comb-shaped idler is composed of multiple short rollers arranged in a comb-like structure according to a certain pattern, and is usually installed below the conveyor belt. These short rollers are connected together by shafts or brackets to form an integral idler group. The surface of the short rollers is generally specially treated to have good wear resistance and smoothness, reducing the friction between the conveyor belt and the idler.
 
Working Principle
 
The comb-shaped idler is mainly used to support the conveyor belt and the materials on it. When the conveyor belt is in operation, the short rollers of the comb-shaped idler will rotate with the movement of the conveyor belt, providing continuous supporting force for the conveyor belt to keep the conveyor belt in a certain shape and tension, preventing excessive sagging or deformation of the conveyor belt due to the weight of the materials, and ensuring the smooth transportation of the materials.
 
Function
 
- Support materials: Bear the weight of the materials on the conveyor belt, enabling the materials to move stably on the conveyor belt and preventing the materials from scattering due to the sagging of the conveyor belt.
 
- Reduce friction: The design of the comb-shaped structure increases the contact area with the conveyor belt, distributes the pressure, reduces the unit pressure between the conveyor belt and the idler, thus reducing friction and prolonging the service life of the conveyor belt.
 
- Prevent deviation: The uniform support of the comb-shaped idler helps to maintain the running direction of the conveyor belt and, to a certain extent, prevents the conveyor belt from deviating, improving the stability and reliability of the conveying system.
 
Application Fields
 
Comb-shaped idlers are widely used in belt conveyor systems in industries such as mining, metallurgy, coal, ports, and power generation, and are suitable for the transportation of various bulk materials, such as ores, coal, sand, etc. In some occasions with high requirements for conveying accuracy and stability, the comb-shaped idler can also play an important role in ensuring the accurate transportation of materials and the smooth progress of the production process.
