Conveyor Belt Cleaning
Material-Shedding Idlers for Sticky Applications
Wet, sticky material can cling to traditional steel or rubber rolls causing the idlers to double or even triple in size with caked on fugitive material. This significantly reduces the life of the roll and often caused mistracking too.
What you'll learn:
- Applications where scrapers don't clean belts
- Extending idler life 8-10x with Urathon® Return Rolls
- Benefits of using idlers manufactured with polyurethane
