Product Description
The return side of a conveyor system often bears heavy loads of carry-back, fine dust and sticky materials that can cling to the underside of the belt, build up on rollers and bearings, and lead to misalignment, roller failure and belt edge wear. The YIQI Rubber Disc Return Roller is designed specifically to meet these challenges. It uses a series of rubber discs mounted on a shaft to provide self-cleaning action, minimise build-up, safeguard bearings and extend the maintenance interval for your return path system.
Unlike standard smooth rollers or even simple groove rollers, the disc-type return roller offers a more aggressive shedding surface that prevents sticky fines from accumulating. It is ideal for conveyors handling cement dust, coal fines, clay-rich materials, moist or humid environments, and recycling applications where fines and condensate present a maintenance headache.

Installation and Maintenance
Easy Installation
The comb roller is designed to fit standard dimensions, making it easy to install and adapt to various conveyor systems, saving installation time.
Strong Environmental Adaptability
The comb roller is built to perform well in harsh environments, such as high temperatures, moisture, and dust, making it ideal for mining, steel mills, and power plants.
Low Maintenance Costs
The high-quality materials used in the rubber disc and bearings reduce wear and the frequency of maintenance. Regularly checking the rubber disc for wear and lubricating the bearings ensures long-term performance.
Self-Cleaning Design
The self-cleaning feature of the rubber disc minimizes material buildup, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance. This ensures a more consistent performance and extends the service life of the roller.
Rubber disc return Roller Application
The Comb Roller is used extensively in various conveyor systems, especially in industries that require efficient transportation of heavy or abrasive materials. Its applications include:
Mining Industry: Used for transporting materials such as ores, coal, and aggregates. The roller absorbs shock and reduces wear, ensuring smooth conveyor system operation.
Steel Industry: Ideal for conveying heavy materials like steel, iron ore, and slag, reducing noise, protecting the system, and improving overall system reliability.
Power Generation Industry: Used to transport coal, ash, and other heavy materials, ensuring stable support for the return side of the conveyor and preventing system damage.
Chemical Industry: Ideal for conveying materials such as fertilizers, powders, and granules. The comb roller ensures smooth transport while minimizing dust and contamination.
Logistics Industry: Used in high-speed material handling systems, the comb roller helps absorb shock, reduce noise, and improve operational efficiency.

FAQ
Q: How do rubber disc rollers differ from smooth rollers?
A: The disc shape reduces surface area contact, shakes off fines and avoids build-up that smooth rollers accumulate.
Q: Can these rollers handle high belt speeds?
A: Yes. For speeds up to ~4 m/s they are effective; for higher speeds we recommend custom designs with stronger bearings and larger diameter shafts.
Q: Are they suitable for outdoor use?
A: Absolutely. The design includes sealed bearings, heavy-duty frames and hardware for outdoor and dusty environments.
Q: How often should I expect to replace the disc sleeves?
A: It depends on abrasiveness; with moderate carry-back many users achieve 24-36 months between replacements.
Q: Can these rollers be retrofitted?
A: Yes. YIQI supplies retrofit kits and drawings for easy integration into existing return paths.
