Founded in 2009, Baoke Machinery Co., Ltd, World class leader in supplying conveyor system components, either quality or quantity. Baoke design and manufacture the most reliable and cost-effective idlers & pulleys, we supply frames as well.
It is mainly used to support the return conveyor belt, keeping the conveyor belt in a certain shape and position during its return journey to the drive device, preventing the conveyor belt from sagging and deviating. The return idler hanger is usually composed of a hanger structure, idler set, etc. The hanger structure generally uses metal materials, having a certain strength and stability, and being able to bear the weight of the conveyor belt and materials. The idler set is installed on the hanger, and the idlers can rotate freely to reduce the friction between the conveyor belt and the idlers, lower the running resistance, and improve the service life of the conveyor belt. At the same time, the return idler hanger can also protect the conveyor belt, avoiding collision or friction with other components that may cause damage. Different types and specifications of belt conveyors are equipped with corresponding return idler hangers to meet different working conditions and conveying requirements.
Support for idlers: The main function of the idler hanger is to support the conveyor idlers. The idlers are mounted on the hanger and rotate freely to support the conveyor belt and facilitate material transport.
Adjustability: Some idler hangers are designed with adjustable features, such as height adjustment or tilt adjustment. This allows for fine-tuning of the idler position to optimize conveyor performance.
Load distribution: The idler hanger helps to distribute the weight of the conveyed materials and the idlers evenly across the conveyor structure. This helps to prevent excessive stress on specific areas and prolong the life of the conveyor system.
Vibration damping: In some cases, idler hangers may be equipped with vibration damping features to reduce noise and vibration generated by the conveyor system. This can improve the working environment and reduce wear and tear on the conveyor components.
By structural form
There are single - idler hangers, double - idler hangers, etc.; some hangers have an adjustable length to adapt to the arc - shaped structure in the belt return area.
By adjustment function
They are divided into fixed - type hangers (with a fixed position) and adjustable - type hangers (which can adjust the height and position of the idlers to make the conveyor belt better contact with the idlers).
