Hold the Line
Belting is the most expensive component of a conveying system. Superior’s Self-Aligning Idlers ensure that your conveyor belts stay on track, minimizing the chance of severe belt damage.
Concave in shape, the idler’s side guide rollers restrain the belt from running up and over the conveyor. In order to lessen the wear on the belt, the side guide rollers are made with high-grade HDPE that reduces the friction between the idler and belt.

Real Stories, Proven Performance

The Missing Support in Your Load Zone
Between idlers, conveyor belts naturally sag under the weight of material. That sag creates a gap between the belt and the skirting, giving fines a clear path to escape. Operators tighten the skirting, add more rubber, or increase pressure against the belt, but the problem often persists because the belt simply isn’t supported well enough underneath.
The Sealing System solves the problem at its source. Cartridge pads mounted to standard idler frames support the belt through the load zone, preventing sag, and helping maintain a consistent seal against the skirting. With the belt properly supported, the skirting can do its job, keeping material on the belt and dust inside the transfer point.
