Frequently asked questions

Why are guide rollers essential for alignment?

Guide rollers are strategically positioned along the conveyor at key points including turns, transitions, and loading zones.

Their placement prevents the belt from rubbing against the conveyor frame, thereby avoiding edge damage.

This setup improves the overall conveyor efficiency and safety by reducing spillage and uneven wear.

How do you measure guide rollers to ensure the belt is properly aligned?

Roller Diameter: Ensure the roller&#;s outer diameter aligns with the conveyor&#;s specifications to provide adequate contact with the belt edges.

Face Length: Measure the contact surface length of the roller, which influences the steering force applied to the belt.

Mounting Bracket Dimensions: Check the size and bolt hole spacing of the brackets to ensure they fit securely to the conveyor frame.

Clearance from Belt: Aim for approximately a 1-inch gap between the roller and the belt when centered without interference.
