HDPE Conveyor Roller
Made by African AutomationAfrican Automation's HDPE rollers are specifically designed for applications where noise reduction is critical. Each roller integrates the robust construction of our standard welded steel body with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sleeve, offering excellent non-stick properties.
At belt speeds below 3 m/s, the running belt is barely audible. These rollers are engineered to be strong yet lightweight, making them ideal for high-tonnage applications and conveyor belt systems wider than 1600mm.
Key Specifications:
- Diameters: Available from 127mm to 300mm
- Roll Lengths: 150mm to 2200mm
- Total Indicator Runout (TIR): Typically less than 0.3mm at roll ends
- Noise Levels: Generally 5–10 dBA quieter than comparable steel rollers
- Bearing Sizes: 6306 to 6310
- Material: High-grade HDPE and UHMWPE
Key Benefits:
- Rust & Corrosion Proof: Ideal for coastal, chemical, and wet environments.
- Lightweight Construction: Easier handling and lower installation costs.
- Low Friction, Energy Efficient: Minimises wear on belts and reduces energy consumption.
- Quiet Operation: Significantly lowers noise levels.
Industries: Mining, Fertilizer & Salt Handling, Food Processing, Cement & Aggregates, Port & Marine Terminals.
