The purpose of the “INBI” self-centering idler is to keep the conveyor belt always centered, correcting defects that would prevent its working correctly. The idler is made up of a steel tube with a fixed shaft running through it, on which there is a central hinge joint which allows regular deviation of the tube. The INBI self-centering idler is covered with soft rubber which keeps it clean and also offers excellent adherence. Both aspects determine the efficiency of the system.  To prevent entry of foreign bodies which could affect the efficiency of the operation, the interior is protected by rubber stoppers.

Operation:

With the belt operating  and lined up, the idler is held transversely at an angle of 90 degrees. The mass is balanced at both sides of the idler. When the belt goes off center, the idler comes into action; it is inclined over the loaded part, restoring the balance in this way and correcting the belt to its proper position.
This action can be repeated indefinately, due to the internal mechanism and the position of the shaft with relation to the belt, which must be with the flat part at an angle of less than 45 degrees, whichever way the belt is travelling.

Assembly:

The idlers must be placed below the belt so that they exert a slight upward pressure. The distance between the tail drum and the self-centering idler should be one third the length between the drum shafts of the conveyor belt (but with a minimum of 2 meters from the tail drum shaft).

For conveyor belts of less that 30 meters, a single idler will be sufficient. For very long installations, the distance between the first self centering idler -S- and the next should be approximately 25 meters to guarantee optimum results.

Flexible Cable Roller

Flexible Idlers:

Flexible troughing idlers are essentially comprised of a metal cored, high tensile steel cable with 180 KG/mm² tensile strength and 6,600KG breaking strength. The metal core is pre-formed and un-lubricated. It is neoprene covered to adapt it to the discs which are the part attached to the actual conveyor belt.

Flexible Cable Roller
Easy Installation! Thanks to the simple system of hooks, they are easily fitted and disassembled, unlike conventional idlers. It is not even neccessary to stop the conveyor to fit them.	Self Cleaning! The relative movement of the discs prevents sticking or jamming. The materials transported never spill over, thus avoiding deterioration and wearing of the belt.
Greater Load Capacity! The angle of the trough (up to 45 degrees) is such that overflowing is avoided without the necessity of retaining elements.	Endurance! Greater resistance to abrasion and chemical agents. They absorb the shock of great blocks directly or with the help of side shock absorbers.
Reduction in the number of idlers! Two idlers for every three meters of belt, an average far below that of conventional systems.

Further Advantages:

• Longer lasting Idler
• It can bear temperatures of -35C to +100C
• Fewer Breakdowns (Only 2 bearings)
• It weighs six times (6X) less than a conventional station
• It is self-cleaning
• It centers the load.
