Rubber Disc Return Idler

A rubber disc return idler is a specialized type of conveyor idler designed to support the return side of the conveyor belt. It features rubber discs or rings mounted on the roller surface, which provide additional friction and effectively reduce material buildup. The rubber discs ensure that the conveyor belt operates smoothly and efficiently, especially when handling sticky materials. Zoomry Heavy Industry produces rubber disc return idlers using high-quality materials and precision manufacturing techniques, ensuring optimal performance even in challenging working conditions.  

■ Applications

Rubber disc return idlers are widely used in conveyor systems, particularly in environments prone to material carryback issues. Below are the main application areas:  

● Mining

In mining operations, conveyor systems are tasked with transporting large quantities of ores, coal, and other bulk materials. These materials often adhere to the conveyor belt, leading to decreased efficiency and potential belt damage. Rubber disc return idlers effectively remove sticky materials, ensuring stable operation of the conveyor system.  

● Aggregate Processing

In aggregate production, such as sand and gravel processing, the return side of the conveyor belt often faces material residue issues. The non-stick surface and self-cleaning capabilities of rubber disc return idlers prevent material buildup, extending the service life of conveyor equipment.  

● Bulk Material Handling

Large-scale bulk material handling often involves continuous high-load operations, where material buildup or equipment damage can pose significant challenges. Rubber disc return idlers mitigate these issues, offering enhanced stability and reliability for conveyor systems.  

● Thermal Power Generation

Thermal power plants rely on efficient transportation of coal and ash, many of which are sticky materials. Rubber disc return idlers help reduce material accumulation on the return side of the belt, ensuring long-term smooth operation of the conveyor system.  

● Cement Production

The cement industry requires the transportation of large amounts of powdered materials, which can easily adhere to conveyor belts. Rubber disc return idlers effectively remove these materials through friction, preventing equipment failures and improving operational efficiency.  

● Metallurgy and Steel Production

Conveyors in metallurgy often transport fine powders or byproducts of smelting, which can place significant stress on the conveyor system. Rubber disc return idlers alleviate this stress through their high-efficiency cleaning design, enhancing system reliability.  

● Agriculture and Food Processing

In agriculture and food industries, conveyors frequently handle moist or sticky materials. Rubber disc return idlers, with their unique design, minimize material residue on the belt, ensuring smooth and continuous production processes.  

■ Features

● Superior Anti-Stick Performance

The rubber discs on the roller surface are designed to resist sticking, effectively preventing sticky materials from adhering to the return side of the conveyor belt. This keeps the belt clean and improves system efficiency.  

● Self-Cleaning Capability

The rubber discs clean off adhered materials during contact with the belt, reducing material buildup on the rollers and minimizing maintenance efforts.  

● Efficient Sealing Design

The idlers use a labyrinth sealing system that prevents dust and moisture from entering the bearing, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.  

● High Durability

Manufactured with premium steel and sealed ball bearings, Zoomry's rubber disc return idlers offer excellent impact resistance and stable performance even in harsh working environments.  

● Low Maintenance Cost

With a maintenance-free design and high-quality materials, these idlers significantly reduce downtime and overall maintenance costs for users.  

● Adaptability to Various Environments

Whether in high temperatures, humid conditions, or dusty environments, rubber disc return idlers provide efficient and reliable solutions for diverse operational needs.  

■ Product Types

● Standard Rubber Disc Return Idler

Designed for general conveyor systems, it effectively removes material adhered to the conveyor belt, ensuring the belt remains clean.  

● Corrosion-Resistant Rubber Disc Return Idler

Using specialized corrosion-resistant materials or surface treatments, these idlers are ideal for chemical and marine environments.  

● Self-Aligning Rubber Disc Return Idler

These idlers automatically correct conveyor belt alignment, preventing belt misalignment and damage, especially suitable for heavy-load operations.  

● High-Temperature Rubber Disc Return Idler

Made with heat-resistant materials and specialized bearings, these idlers operate reliably in high-temperature environments, making them ideal for thermal power and metallurgy industries.
