Conveyor idler developments with larger idlers rollers
Presents the latest research on energy efficient conveying, undertaken as part of the MRIWA Project (M10549), by deep diving on idler diameter and its impacts on primary conveyor losses (Indentation Rolling Resistance, Rim drag), L10 bearing life and composite shell abrasion characteristics.
In this presentation, you will learn:
- The impacts of idler roller diameter on conveyor, indentation rolling resistance losses, rim drag losses, L10 bearing life and shell abrasion allowances
- The recent updates to IRR testing in AS1333 (2024)
- Product suite of the Big Roller™ low level module and the Big Roller™ idler range for both new green field projects and brownfields retrofits.
