Carrying Idlers Key Specifications

Roller Diameter

89mm, 108mm, and 127mm diameter rollers to suit varying belt widths and load capacities in steel plant conveyor systems.

Trough Angle

Available in 20°, 30°, 35°, and 45° trough configurations optimized for bulk handling of iron ore and sinter fines.

Bearing Type

Heavy-duty 6204, 6205, 6305, and 6306 deep groove ball bearings with high-temperature grease for sustained operation near furnaces.

Shell Thickness

3.2mm to 6.0mm ERW steel tubes with optional wear-resistant coatings to withstand abrasive iron ore and slag materials.

Sealing System

Triple labyrinth seals with dust-proof and heat-resistant design preventing ingress of fine iron particles and furnace dust.

Load Capacity

Rated for belt widths from 600mm to 1800mm, supporting bulk densities up to 2.5 t/m³ typical of steel plant raw materials.

Industrial Applications

Iron Ore Transfer Conveyors
Transporting crushed iron ore from stockyard to blast furnace feed bins across long-distance overland conveyors operating 24/7.
Sinter Plant Feed Lines
Handling hot sinter mix and return fines on inclined conveyors with high ambient temperatures and heavy particulate exposure.
Sponge Iron (DRI) Handling
Conveying hot direct reduced iron from rotary kilns to cooling drums, requiring idlers rated for elevated material temperatures.
