Return Idlers Key Specifications

Configuration

Flat single-roll and V-return (10° tilt) configurations to support belt return strand and minimize carryback accumulation.

Roller Diameter

63.5 mm to 108 mm diameter rollers in ERW steel, with extended-length single rolls for belt widths up to 1600 mm.

Anti-Clogging Design

Smooth polished shell surface with optional rubber lagging to prevent cement dust and fine powder adhesion on the return strand.

Seal System

Multi-stage labyrinth seals with external deflectors to prevent cement dust ingress into bearings on dusty return runs.

Spacing Recommendation

Return idler spacing of 2.5 m to 3.0 m for cement applications to prevent excessive belt sag and carryback accumulation.

Standards

Designed per CEMA B105.1 and IS 8598 with CEMA Class II-III ratings suitable for cement plant return strand loads.

Industrial Applications

Clinker Conveyor Return Strand
Return idlers on clinker transport conveyors must resist heat from residual clinker carryback and prevent material buildup on the return belt surface.
Raw Mill Feed Conveyor Return
V-return idlers on limestone and clay feed conveyors prevent belt misalignment caused by sticky raw material carryback during monsoon season.
Bag Filter Dust Collection Return
Return idlers on bag filter dust re-injection conveyors handle ultra-fine cement kiln dust that coats belt surfaces and accumulates on rollers.
