Industrial Applications

These spiral idlers are installed on return belt runs of iron ore handling, sinter plant, and coal handling conveyors in steel plants, actively displacing carryback material to reduce buildup, mistracking, and unscheduled maintenance downtime.
Application 1

Iron Ore Fines Return Cleaning

Actively displacing fine iron ore particles from return belts on high-capacity ore handling conveyors in beneficiation plants.
Application 2

Sinter Return Belt Maintenance

Cleaning sticky sinter residue from return belts where conventional scrapers cannot fully remove adhered material.
Application 3

Coal Dust Removal on Returns

Spiraling coal dust and fines off return belts in coal handling systems feeding coke oven batteries and boilers.
