Original Press Release:
New Stabilizing Return Roller Kits From Flexco Firm and Flatten Conveyor Belts to Aid Cleaning
DOWNERS GROVE, IL (USA), MAY 29, 2002 -- Flexco's expanding line of Eliminator® Conveyor Belt Cleaner Accessories is adding two alternatives for holding return side belts flat and stable so secondary belt cleaners can work at peak efficiency. The new Stabilizing Return Roller (SRR) and Stabilizing Roller Bracket Kit (SRBK) both position a hold-down roller on top of the return side belt, typically located 6" to 8" (150mm to 200mm) before or after the cleaner blades, to eliminate the problems of incomplete or inconsistent cleaning that result from flapping, cupped or low-tensioned belts.
The SRR provides a complete assembly, including a 5" CEMA D roller and a set of mounting brackets that install easily on any conveyor structure, require only a 5" x 6" (125mm x 150mm) space, and allow both horizontal and vertical adjustment. The roller is made of Exalon, an abrasion-resistant, non-corroding material with a low coefficient of friction, non-adhesive properties that minimize material buildup, and 20-30% less weight than steel rollers. The standard SRR is available for belt widths from 24" to 60" (450mm to 1500mm), and a heavy-duty model, furnished with a 6" CEMA E Exalon roller, fits belt widths from 54" to 72" (1350mm to 1800mm).
The SRBK, intended for use with return rollers supplied from the user's on-site inventory, provides universal mounting brackets featuring a versatile roller retaining design that will accept the hex-head, round or square end caps of all commercially available CEMA C or CEMA D return rollers. A heavy-duty model accepts CEMA E return rollers.
