Indoff’s Answer to Harsh Environments
Chemical Production, and Battery plants are infamous for the harsh operating conditions associated with battery production: corrosive acids, warm temperatures, moist atmospheres, high product volume, heavy loads and high impact loading.Several types of rollers have been tried, each having limiting factors:
1. All stainless steel rollers - high initial price, bearing maintenance
2. Carbon steel rollers - corrosion, bearing maintenance
3. PVC rollers - high breakage, roller and bearing maintenance
Indoff, Inc can supply a roller which counters traditional failure modes. The bearings are permanently lubricated ABEC-1 precision bearings in acid resistant, double labyrinth sealed plastic housings. The rollers are inert PVC with steel reinforcement. Shafts are dual spring loaded carbon steel for easy installation.
Tapered Roller Curves (Belt Driven) generally give good package conveying action. The Tapered Roller presents a true conveying surface on a curve giving the correct radial speed along the full length of each roller. The curve radius along with the taper on the roller which comes to a common focal point causes the package to leave the curve in much the same position in which it entered. For best results, there should be live rollers, a minimum of 65% of package length at the entry and at the discharge ends of the curve.
Ultrex accumulating sleeves are hard plastic sleeves that fit loosely over a roller. The main purpose of Ultrex accumulating sleeves is to allow powered conveyor rollers to accumulate product without causing damage to the rollers or the product.There is enough friction created between the conveyor roller and sleeves that products can be conveyed as normal even though the sleeves are not tightly fixed to the rollers. When products are stopped the sleeves are free to stop with the product which prevents damage to the product. The rollers continue to operate inside the accumulating sleeves. The smooth surface of the Sleeves slides freely over metal rollers without damaging the sleeve or the roller.

Bearings are sealed against dust and dirt for smooth operation. They are available in 3 styles: commercial, precision, and stainless steel.
