HUZHOU MAILONG MACHINERY CO., LTD.
Machine drumming rollers are found in conveyors and have complete applications in different areas such as in the shipping department, distribution warehouses, and assembly lines throughout the world.
A machine drumming roller can serve you for many years, provided there are thorough care and maintenance.
The drumming rollers in a conveyor can get damaged and dirty and eventually need to be replaced.
For a drumming roller, the replacement is relatively easy, and doing this will improve the conveying system's durability.
At other times, there may be needs to add drumming rollers to a conveyor system to aid the smooth movement of parts along the conveyor when replacing drumming rollers.
You can get a quality product from a reliable and trusted machine drumming roller manufacturer.
There are some information you need to know before placing an order for roller replacement. These are:
1. Retention system
Rollers are generally spring-loaded on either side or on both sides to fit into the frame.
Sometimes a pin can be passed through the shaft to achieve a similar aim instead of using springs.
2. Surface finish
Depending on the engine's nature, the surface finish for a conveyor's drumming rollers can be either Zinc (widespread type) or mild steel.
3. Axle configuration
Roller conveyors have different axle configurations depending on their diameter, whether small, medium, or large.
So you need to measure the existing drumming roller axles before making your order.
4. The diameter of the roller
You can measure the diameter of the machine drumming roller with a measuring tape.
However, using a more precise measuring instrument such as a micrometer screw gauge ensures the right diameter is measured. Standard sizes of the diameters are 1-3/8″ (1.4″), 1.9″, 2.5″ and 2-9/16″.
5. Drive system or grooves
Drumming rollers may have twin grooves for a drive system with O-Ring, pulleys for ribbed drives, or sprockets attached.
6. Centers
To estimate the drumming rollers' centers, you measure the center length from one drumming roller to another. Thus making it easy for you to know how many you need.
The nature of the machine drumming roller construction material is an essential key factor to consider when replacing rollers.
The most frequently used is galvanized steel because of its resistance to rusting and relatively low price.
Other materials are PVC coated rollers for an application that needs total freedom from any residue or stain (automobile industries) and stainless steel for food industries.
8. Between Frame (BF) Distance
Between -frame distance is the length of the frame that the roller will fit nicely into properly.
It is measured from one side to the other end in mm or inches. The common between- frame width are 10″, 15″, 16″, 21″, and 22″.
