The success of management in any industrial company depends on certain specific factors. Streamlining the logistics process for optimal production in the shortest possible time is one of them. This is achieved by moving raw materials and finished items in the most effective way. To this end, transportation systems turn out to be the ideal modes, particularly in projects related to infrastructure and mega-industries. In fact, these systems could be called the vital veins of industrial activities, moreover, the sphere of socio-economic development.

Thus, the manufacturers of these systems hold the key to the march of progress. They design and manufacture the conveyor belts according to the needs of the users and also in line with the standards prescribed by the designated quality and safety agencies. These belts are widely used in mining, power, cement, fertilizer and steel plants, various production lines in factories, airports, railway stations, freight yards, ports, warehouses, barns, etc. Considering these facts, it can be rightly said that the technology and industry dedicated to the manufacture of these systems are of great importance.

Mastering the art of conceptualizing, manufacturing, and commissioning bulk and light-quantity material handling systems, leading manufacturers and suppliers of these systems offer the following products and services:

  • Crushing and screening
  • sampling station
  • Stacking and recovery
  • bagging system
  • Overland conveyor belts
  • Pipeline conveyors between the mines and the processing plant
  • Tippers for unloading wagons
  • Caterpillar hopper and dump hopper

Manufacturing these systems involves numerous components and related engineering, such as steel tubing for idlers, pulleys, and rollers. Rollers, although not driven, are considered the heart of a conveyor. It is on these machines that the tape moves at the regulated speed.

Equipment has a direct relationship to the durability of a belt system. They minimize belt float and return belt damage that would otherwise result from material buildup. They protect the belt against abrasives during the operation of a system. Here are some main types of these rollers:

  • flat transport
  • flat impact
  • return spiral
  • Disc
  • live shaft
  • self-aligned return
  • roll back
  • self-cleaning return
  • Transition
  • Wreath

Quality rollers are expected to be weather resistant, even corrosion resistant, for the smooth operation of a conveyor belt system. The rollers synchronize both the vertical and horizontal movement of a conveyor belt. Idler and roller manufacturers’ products and services are contracted by turnkey consultants in the execution of material handling systems for major projects.
