Conveyor Belt Guide Station

A conveyor belt training idler is used to keep the belt of a belt conveyor aligned with the conveyor axis. The page states that lateral belt deviation can cause material spillage and belt damage, and classifies the training idler as conveyor equipment. It also lists factors that can increase lateral deviation, including increased inclination, wider roller spacing, off-centre loading, material build-up, high belt speed and poor belt tracking on the rollers.
