What You'll Learn

• Idlers designed to shake refuge material from belting 
• Clamp on urethane thumpers for existing steel rolls
• Spiral-shaped rolls for conveyors from wet screens or screws

Key Insights

• Beater rolls can be mounted on the return side for better cleaning.
• Clamp-on thumpers allow for adjustable vibration to enhance cleaning.
• Spiral Urathon Rolls discharge material outward, preventing accumulation.
