Impact Idlers Key Specifications

Rubber Disc Cushioning

Multiple rubber rings (60-70 Shore A hardness) mounted on steel shaft to absorb impact energy from ROM coal lumps up to 300 mm at loading points.

Impact Rating

Designed for drop heights of 1.5 m to 3.5 m at wagon tippler and crusher discharge chutes in coal handling plant installations.

Roller Diameter

108 mm to 159 mm overall diameter including rubber rings, with steel core tube of 63.5 mm to 89 mm for structural strength.

Troughing Angle

20° and 30° troughing sets at loading zones to match adjacent carrying idler geometry while providing impact absorption.

Rubber Ring Material

Natural rubber or SBR compound rings with high resilience and tear resistance, replaceable individually without removing the roller.

Frame Construction

Reinforced heavy-gauge steel frames with shock-absorbing mounting to distribute impact loads across the conveyor structure.

Industrial Applications

Wagon Tippler Discharge Point
Impact idlers at wagon tippler loading zones absorb the force of ROM coal lumps dropping from 2-3 m height onto the receiving conveyor belt.
Crusher House Discharge Chute
Below primary and secondary coal crushers, impact idlers protect the belt from crushed coal falling through transfer chutes at high velocity.
Reclaim Hopper Loading Point
Impact idlers under coal stockyard reclaim hoppers cushion the belt against coal lump impact during reclaim operations for boiler feeding.
