The conveyor guide rollers are small rollers that form a continuous sliding edge on the conveyor. Although it is often found at the edge of conveyor belts, it is easily overlooked and treated as a non-essential piece of machinery. However, these rollers play an important role in ensuring the smooth transport of the product on the conveyor. Conveyor guide rollers come in different standard sizes 50mm or 70mm long with inner diameters starting from 3mm to 10mm.

Conveyor guide rollers are typically found at the end of a conveyor belt to form a tight radius for the conveyor to run around. Due to the small outside and inside diameters, the conveyor guide rollers can fit snugly on the metal shaft and lie side by side forming a long roller. One industry that uses conveyor guide rollers for manufacturing is the food and packaging industry. Since the industry relies on slippery and sliding motion without the support of conveyor guide rollers, the products being transported are more prone to breakage due to non-fluid momentum and product imbalance.

  • Rollers are composed of the following main parts: Tubes, shafts, bearings.
  • Pipe: Made of SS400 steel, diameter D50
  • Shaft: Made of SS400 steel, diameter D20
  • Bearing: Bearing code B6204ZZ

After processing the details, the roller will be galvanized to help the roller shine and prevent rust.
 

Advantages of Intech Conveyor Roller


Intech Conveyor Rollers not only provide tight deflection radii for the conveyor system, but also fully benefit from being manufactured from the highest quality materials. The material is free of chemicals and lubricants to ensure no contaminants are transferred to the food/product. The Intech Conveyor Roller is also FDA compliant making it a suitable component for use in food environments.

In addition, the plastic used by Intech is known for its self-lubricating properties that reduce costs by up to 40% and simplify work during maintenance and servicing. Self-lubricating guide rollers require no lubricant, so component changes are easier and less messy.
 

Application of guide roller


In the process of conveyor running, the problem of conveyor belt deviation is often encountered, so people need to use blocking rollers, also known as guide rollers to be able to adjust the running direction of the conveyor.
