Troughing Idler ConveyorsWhat is a Troughing (or Troughed) Idler Conveyor?
On this type of conveyor, the belt rides on rollers for reduced friction, often shaped to curve the edges of the belt up (to make a "trough") to prevent spillage over the sides of the belt. Remcon can fabricate custom heavy-duty troughing idler conveyors specifically designed for your application. Remcon's specialty of building slider bed conveyors can often be applied to design a slider bed style conveyor that can be easier to maintain and less expensive than a troughing idler conveyor. But, in some circumstances, a troughing idler conveyor is a better choice, or is simply the preferred choice of the end user. We can work with you to design the optimal conveyor to suit your needs. |
