1. Troughing idler frames

2. Impact idler frames

Impact idler frames are specifically designed to handle heavy-duty applications where materials are dropped onto the conveyor belt from a substantial height. These frames are equipped with rubber or urethane discs or rings, which absorb the impact forces and protect the belt from damage. Impact idler frames are commonly used in industries handling bulk materials such as mining, construction, and recycling.

3. Self-aligning idler frames

Self-aligning idler frames are used to ensure proper alignment of the conveyor belt. They are designed with a central pivot that allows the idler frame to respond to belt misalignment. Self-aligning idler frames can rotate on the central pivot, adjusting the position of the idler rollers to maintain proper alignment. These frames are particularly useful in conveyor systems with long belts or those prone to misalignment due to uneven loading or belt stretching.

5. V-return idler frames

V-return idler frames, as the name suggests, are used in return applications where the conveyor belt reverses direction. These frames are designed with two sets of idler rollers arranged in a V-shape, providing support and guidance for the returning belt. V-return idler frames are commonly used in belt conveyor systems where space is limited, as they can accommodate the return belt within a compact footprint.

6. Training idler frames

Training idler frames are used to enhance belt tracking and reduce the risk of belt damage due to misalignment. These frames are equipped with adjustable idler rollers that apply pressure to the belt, guiding it back to the center of the conveyor. Training idler frames are particularly beneficial in applications where belts tend to wander off the intended path, such as long-distance conveyors or those dealing with unevenly distributed loads.

7. Rubber disc idler frames

Rubber disc idler frames are designed to provide additional shock absorption and impact resistance. They feature rubber discs mounted on the idler rollers, which cushion the impact forces and protect the conveyor belt from damage. Rubber disc idler frames are commonly used in applications handling abrasive or sharp-edged materials that can cause significant wear and tear on the belt.

8. Spiral idler frames

Spiral idler frames are unique in their design, featuring a spiral-shaped configuration of idler rollers. This spiral arrangement allows the idler frames to provide improved belt support and facilitate better material containment. Spiral idler frames are suitable for applications requiring high belt loading, such as heavy-duty mining or bulk handling operations.
