Return idlers support the lower side of the conveyor belt as it makes the return trip from the discharge point back to the loading point. They help maintain proper tension in the conveyor belt, preventing sagging and ensuring smooth operation. Standard Return Idlers are available with a steel roll and 2 drop brackets.
It is used to support the belt under conveyor. The flat return is the most common idler on the return side of a conveyor. SKE Industries flat return idlers support the belt to prevent stretching, sagging, and failure. These idlers consist of a single steel roll mounted on two drop brackets.
It is a type of self-cleaning conveyor idler. The rubber disc returns are similar to the flat returns, but have rubber discs strategically placed along the roll, as opposed to a steel shell found on the flat returns. SKE Industries rubber disc returns assist by removing carryback.
The steel spiral return idler are used as support for the return side of belt.
V Return Idler comprise two idler rollers and a support frame. Aligning high tension fabric or cable belts can be problematic. SKE Industries v-return idlers provide a truer tracking belt and a longer life than standard flat returns. They consist of two rolls in a V-shaped profile of either 10° or 15°.
It is used to prevent deviation of belt under conveyor. Belt, structure, and component damage can all occur when conveyor belts become misaligned. Self-training return idlers eliminate this concern by ensuring the belt is tracking true. SKE Industries self-trainers are like flat return idlers, but with the ability to pivot at the center guided by edge rollers which in turn aligns the belt.
