The Next-Generation Conveyor Roller for Enhanced Load Capacity, Stability, and Cost Efficiency

A version called "VALMEC," designed for particularly critical applications, uses 6 rollers, with the two central rollers mounted on the same V-shaped shaft.
This allows for precise guidance of the belt on varied paths, including changes in elevation and curves.

Key Features:
- Semicircular Shape: The shape of the Valmec allows the belt to better conform to the trough, reducing sharp bends and enabling the use of thicker belts or belts with higher transverse rigidity.
- Improved Stability: The system ensures greater stability for both the belt and the material being conveyed, thanks to its self-aligning geometry and the ability to tension the belt with a steel rope device.
- Efficiency in New Installations: In new setups, the Valmec allows the use of a narrower belt compared to traditional 30° trough conveyors, lowering the cost of mechanical parts, pulleys, and structural frames.
- Space and Weight Optimization: Compared to traditional systems, the Valmec significantly reduces weight and overall dimensions, eliminating roller supports (transoms) by mounting directly onto the supporting frame.

Advantages Over Traditional Systems:
- Higher Load Capacity: The Valmec increases load capacity (m³/h) compared to traditional 3 or 5 roller trough systems:
  - Up to 35% more capacity than traditional 3-roll 30° troughs.
  - 20% more capacity than traditional 3-roll 45° troughs.
  - 8% more capacity than traditional 5-roll 60° troughs.
- Increased Distance Between Idler Stations: The Valmec allows the distance between idler stations to be increased by a factor of 2 to 3 compared to traditional roller systems.

Easy Installation and Compatibility:
- Easy Adaptation: The Valmec is compatible with existing support frames, reducing installation costs and easily adjusting the inclination to suit different operational needs.
- Cost Reduction: Whether for new or retrofit installations, the Valmec system offers an excellent cost-benefit ratio, improving performance while keeping operational costs low.

With Valmec, bulk material handling can be optimized, increasing productivity while reducing costs, all while maintaining high levels of stability and reliability in the conveyor system.
