Vertical Guide Rollers Frequent reliance on vertical guide rollers within conveyor systems often results in significant belt damage, particularly manifesting in worn-out belt edges and exposed belt plies. These guide rollers serve the crucial purpose of ensuring the belt remains on the carrying or return rollers when misaligned, rather than actively aligning or centering the belt. However, the force exerted by these guide rollers in their effort to keep the belt on the rollers can inadvertently cause damage to the belt edges. This continual pressure and friction gradually degrade the belt’s integrity over time, leading to increased maintenance needs and downtime. Balancing the necessity of guide rollers with minimizing their adverse impact on belt longevity poses a significant challenge in conveyor system design and operation.
