What is a conveyor guide roller and what does it do? 

A conveyor guide roller is an accessory used on a conveyor, usually mounted on the side of the conveyor, to guide the direction of travel of the conveyor belt and to maintain its stability. The main function is to support the conveyor belt to move smoothly and maintain the right tension.

The guide rollers reduce belt swing and deflection, thus greatly increasing the efficiency and working safety of the conveyor. The side rollers also reduce friction and wear on the conveyor belt, extending its service life.

What industries use it?

Guide rollers are widely used in many industries, particularly in logistics, mining, construction, and metallurgy. In these industries, conveyors are essential pieces of transport equipment used to move materials from one place to another. As one of the components of the conveyor, the guide rollers play a vital role in the proper operation and safety of the conveyor.

Please list the specifications of the side rollers

When using side rollers, it is necessary to select the right type and number of side rollers according to parameters such as the type, width, and load of the conveyor belt to ensure stable operation and safety of the conveyor belt. The specifications of the guide rollers vary depending on the requirements of the application. Generally speaking, the material of the guide rollers should have good wear and corrosion resistance for long-term use. In addition, the shape and size of the guide rollers should be suitable for the width and thickness of the conveyor belt to ensure smooth and stable operation of the belt.

The structure of side rollers is generally divided into two types: T-shaped side rollers and U-shaped side rollers. Among them, T-shaped side rollers are suitable for light and medium-duty conveyor belts; U-shaped side rollers are ideal for heavy and super heavy-duty conveyor belts.
