Plastic Tapered Sleeve Conveyor Roller For Turning Conveyor Line, Achieving 90-Degree Steering

The Plastic Tapered Sleeve Conveyor Roller is a specialized conical drum designed to achieve smooth direction changes in turning conveyor lines. By creating different linear speeds at both ends of the tapered roller, products naturally move along curved conveyor sections. This design allows stable 90-degree steering without additional guide mechanisms, improving conveying efficiency and reducing system complexity.

The roller features modular PP plastic tapered sleeves with 50mm spacing. This modular design allows flexibility for conveyor widths ranging from 250mm to 850mm, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial conveying applications. The plastic sleeves also reduce noise and improve product handling, especially for cartons, plastic bins, and packaged goods.

A steel drum tube provides structural strength and long-term durability in continuous operations. The conical shape helps distribute product weight evenly across multiple rollers, improving conveying stability and reducing product movement during turning. For optimal performance, the drum length is typically selected based on the conveyed material size, usually adding approximately 50mm to the product length to ensure stable contact.

The roller also offers corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, making it suitable for clean environments and general industrial use. The standard 3.6° taper provides an inner turning radius of approximately 800mm, allowing compact conveyor system layouts and efficient space utilization.

1. What is a Plastic Tapered Sleeve Conveyor Roller used for?

It is used in turning conveyor lines to guide products smoothly through curved sections or 90-degree direction changes.

2. How does the roller achieve 90-degree steering?

The tapered design creates different linear speeds across the roller surface, allowing products to move naturally along curved conveyor paths.

3. What materials are used in this roller?

The roller uses a steel drum tube with modular PP plastic tapered sleeves for durability and smooth conveying.

4. Is this roller suitable for anti-static environments?

This standard model is not anti-static and is designed for general industrial environments at room temperature.
