Simple, robust, and easy-to-install tracking for safe operation
IPCO guide rollers for conveyors form a spring-loaded tracking system. The conveyor belt guide is designed for simplicity and provides a robust and safe way of maintaining the position of a belt within acceptable side movements. There are no electronics and few moving parts, enabling simple installation.
The system can be used on the upper and lower belt strands. Its purpose is to prevent excessive transversal movement of the belt, which could otherwise result in edge damage.
Typical applications include:
Less-complex conveyor applications
Belts operating in extreme environments
Long conveyors where it is important to maintain the position of the belt to help the active tracking systems at the end stations
Changing conditions, e.g. temperature changes, uneven flow, or when product is loaded onto the belt differently from time to time.
When to install
Due to its intrinsic simplicity, the SLGR system is easily mounted to an existing conveyor frame with little modification.

How it works
When the belt moves sideways and comes in contact with the rollers, the arm with rollers moves outwards. The spring gradually increases the resistance applied to the belt and the sideways movement of the belt will eventually be stopped.
A steel belt should never be forced into position, so spring loaded guide rollers are the recommended solution. Fixed belt guides are best avoided due to the risk of belt edge damage.
