There are many types of rollers used in conveyor belts, each suitable for different industries, sites, and materials.


1. Drive Roller: 

A drive roller is typically installed at the head of a conveyor belt. It is driven by a motor to drive the conveyor belt, thereby conveying materials. Drive rollers have high torque and power, fully capable of providing sufficient power. They are primarily suitable for long-distance, high-speed conveying routes.


2. Curve Roller: 

A curve roller is primarily installed at the curve of a conveyor belt, primarily used to guide the conveyor belt through curved conveyance. Curve rollers are typically composed of multiple rollers with gradually increasing diameters to ensure conveyor belt stability. Precisely designed and installed, curve rollers ensure smooth conveyor belt operation around curves.


3. Support Roller: 

A support roller is installed at the bottom of the conveyor belt, primarily supporting the conveyor belt and the material load. Support rollers are typically spaced apart to share the weight of the material and the tension of the conveyor belt, preventing deflection or wear from excessive belt loads.


4. Asymmetric Rollers: 

Asymmetric rollers are specially designed rollers with different diameters at both ends. This design creates a certain amount of friction during conveyor belt operation, thereby providing better material transfer. Asymmetric rollers are only suitable for applications where a certain amount of friction is required.


5. Buffer Rollers: 

Buffer rollers are primarily installed beneath the conveyor belt to mitigate the impact of materials. Typically made of soft material, they effectively absorb and mitigate material impact, thereby protecting the life of the conveyor belt and roller.


Belt conveyor rollers include drive rollers, curve rollers, support rollers, asymmetric rollers, and buffer rollers. Each type of roller has specific functions and applications. Choosing the appropriate roller type can improve conveyor efficiency and reliability, better meeting material handling requirements and specific manufacturer needs, ultimately achieving greater transport efficiency.
