Polyurethane Idler roller are a key component widely used in conveying equipment, mainly for supporting and transmitting belts or conveyor belts, and their surface covering layer is made of polyurethane material. The following is a detailed introduction to polyurethane idlers:

First, the core characteristics of polyurethane rollers
1. Wear resistance 
Polyurethane material has excellent wear resistance and can significantly extend the service life of rollers, especially in high-speed and high-load conditions.

2.  Corrosion resistance 
Strong resistance to water, oil, chemicals and other corrosive media, suitable for wet, dusty or chemical environment (such as mines, chemical plants).

3. ** Shock absorption and noise reduction **
Polyurethane has a high elastic modulus, which can effectively absorb shock and vibration, reduce operating noise, and improve equipment stability.

4. ** Anti-adhesion **
Smooth and hydrophobic surface, reduce material adhesion, suitable for conveying powder, particles or wet materials (such as grain, coal).

5. ** Wide temperature adaptability **
Operating temperature range (usually -30 ° C to +80 ° C), can maintain performance in cold or high temperature environments.

2. Typical application scenarios **
- ** Mining industry ** : Used for ore, coal and other heavy duty, high wear transmission lines.
- ** Food processing ** : in line with food grade hygiene standards, to avoid pollution, common in beverage, candy production lines.
- ** Logistics warehousing ** : Automatic sorting system, express conveyor belt in the light load high-speed scene.
- ** Agriculture ** : conveying parts of grain harvesting and drying equipment.
- ** Port terminal ** : Rollers resistant to salt spray corrosion in bulk cargo handling equipment.

### ** Three, compared with the advantages of traditional rollers **
| ** Type ** | ** Metal idlers ** | ** Rubber idlers ** | ** polyurethane idlers ** |
|----------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|----------------------------|
| ** wear resistance ** | medium (easy to rust and wear) | good (but easy to age) | ** excellent * (life extension 2-3 times) |
| ** Noise ** | high (metal friction) | low | ** Very low ** (elastic vibration absorption) |
| ** Maintenance cost ** | high (frequently replaced) | medium | ** low ** (long maintenance period) |
| ** Environmental adaptability ** | poor (moisture and corrosion) | general (not resistant to oil/chemicals) | ** strong ** (corrosion and stick resistance) |

### ** Four, purchase and use precautions **
1. ** Load matching **
According to the conveyor belt weight, material type to select the appropriate bearing capacity of the roller specifications (such as diameter, wall thickness).

2. ** Installation accuracy **
Ensure that the roller line is perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt to avoid off-wear or off-track.

3. ** Regular maintenance **
Check whether the surface is cracked and deformed, clean the adhesion in time, and the bearing part needs regular lubrication.

4. ** Storage conditions **
Avoid direct sunlight or high temperature environment to prevent aging of polyurethane materials.

### ** Five, Frequently Asked Questions **
- **Q: Can polyurethane idlers replace steel idlers? **
A: It can be replaced in most scenarios, especially those that pay attention to noise reduction and corrosion resistance, but the strength needs to be evaluated in super-heavy load conditions.

- **Q: How to determine whether the polyurethane layer needs to be replaced? **
A: If the surface has deep cracks, local peeling or diameter wear of more than 5%, it is recommended to replace.

- **Q: Do you support custom sizes? **
A: Yes, different lengths, diameters and hardness can be customized according to the conveyor model (usually Shore hardness 80A-95A).
