Hebei BAO provides a comprehensive range of high-quality Conveyor Idlers designed for supporting the conveyor belt and the conveyed material throughout the system. Our idlers are essential for maintaining the belt’s shape, ensuring smooth and reliable operation, and minimizing belt damage. Constructed with precision bearings, robust shells, and effective sealing systems, our idlers offer low rolling resistance, superior dust and moisture protection, and long service life, contributing significantly to energy efficiency and reduced maintenance costs in bulk material handling.
Key Features
- Low Rolling Resistance

- Heavy-Duty Shell Thickness
- Minimized Belt Wear
Product Classification and Features
A. Common Idler
The Common Idler is the standard workhorse of any conveyor system. It is primarily used on the return side to support the empty belt and on the carrying side as part of the Troughing Idler Set. They are built for general applications, providing reliable support and smooth rotation with minimal friction.
B. Comb Idler
The Comb Idler features a series of elastic rings, resembling a comb, typically mounted on the return side. Its main function is to prevent material adhesion to the return side of the belt, effectively cleaning the belt surface as it passes. This reduces material buildup on components and improves belt tracking.
C. Self-Aligning Idler
The Self-Aligning Idler (also known as Training Idler) is crucial for correcting belt misalignment. When the belt drifts sideways, the friction and pivot mechanism of the self-aligning idler automatically steers the belt back to the center of the conveyor frame, preventing belt edge damage and spillage.
D. Spiral Idler
The Spiral Idler is a variant of the Comb Idler, also used mainly on the return side. It features a rubberized spiral groove that runs along the entire length of the roller. This design provides a more continuous self-cleaning action on the belt surface, particularly effective with wet or sticky materials.
E. Troughing Idler Set
The Troughing Idler Set consists of three or five rollers mounted at a fixed angle (typically 35° or 45°) to create a trough shape on the carrying side. This configuration maximizes material containment and increases the overall carrying capacity of the conveyor belt.

FAQs
1. Why should I choose an Idler with low Rolling Resistance?
Low Rolling Resistance (typically less than3.5 N) is crucial because it significantly reduces the power consumption of the entire conveyor system, leading to substantial energy cost savings over time.
2. What is the purpose of the Comb Idler and the Spiral Idler?
Both the Comb Idler and the Spiral Idler are primarily used on the return side. Their patterned surfaces provide a self-cleaning action to prevent material buildup on the return belt and components.
3. What key information is required to select the correct Idler Set?
You need to specify the Belt Width (e.g., 650 mm to 2000 mm), the required Idller Diameter, the Troughing Angle (35° or 45°), and the nature of the material (e.g., light-duty, heavy-duty, or impact).
