Inverted "V" Tracking System

 

The Inverted “V” Tracking System is a convenient and easy solution to your return tracking needs! The Inverted “V” Returns are used in conjunction with regular return rolls on either side of it to make up the tracking system. The regular return rolls on either side are one CEMA rating higher than the belt. The inverted V’s put pressure down directly on the belt and then the next regular return roll ahead of it will track the belt straight with NO moving parts! The only parts that move on this tracking system are the rolls spinning. All you do is set them up one time and let them run!

 

Guide Rolls

 

All of Rite Idler's guide rolls are custom-designed for specific applications and are machined out of solid steel billets. More steel means a longer life for our rolls. Our CNC capabilities allow our guide rolls to be custom-designed as required for different guiding requirements.

 

Retractable Idlers

 

The Retractable Idler allows for the center roll and both wing rolls to be easily and quickly changed. One side slides out to give you access to one wing roll. The other side slides out to give you access to both the center and wing roll. This allows the rolls to get clear of the belt, making it easy to change ALL rolls.

 

Removable End Bracket (Split End Brackets)

 

Removable End Brackets are a more economical solution to easily remove both of the wing rolls. Undo the bolts on the end bracket and the top half of the bracket will lift out of the way. This will allow for the easy removal of the wing roll. It is a much more economical solution than the retractable design for removing wing rolls, however it does not allow for the removal of the center roll.

 

Rubber Rolls

 

At Rite Idler there are a variety of different Rubber Rolls to choose from depending on what is needed for your conveyor system. Rubber can be used for abrasion resistance, belt cleaning or to lesson the stress on an idler. Non-castellated rubber rolls are used for wear resistance. Pure Gum Rolls are a soft rubber roll used on the return side of the conveyor to clean the belt. Our Castellated Rolls are used for abrasion resistance as well as the prevention of material build up on rolls used on the return side of a conveyor. Rubber Impact Rolls are used in impact areas in order to lessen the stress on the conveyor belt in the impact area as material is being dropped onto the belt. No matter what your rubber roll needs are, we can help you make the Rite choice!

 

Ceramic

 

Ceramic Rolls are used in very abrasive situations. Our Rite Idler ceramic rolls are made by taking our regular rolls and coating them with an epoxy which has ceramic embedded within it.

 

HDPE

 

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) covered rolls are used for abrasion & corrosion resistance.We utilize our standard steel roll with a 1/2” HDPE sleeve pressed onto it.

 

Urethane

 

Urethane Rolls are also an excellent choice for abrasion resistance. We use our standard steel rolls with a 1/2” urethane sleeve pressed onto it.

 

Galvanized Frames

 

Frames can experience corrosion due to the materials traveling on the conveyor belt, and even from the environment that the conveyor is in. Marine and salt water environments are a prime example of this. For this reason we offer the option of having any of our frames galvanized. At Rite Idler we accomplish this using hot dipped galvanizing. For more severe applications, alternate coatings are available.
