PRODUCTS & FEATURES
The Guidler is a cast iron conveyor guide idler engineered to provide positive belt edge guidance and improved tracking performance in bulk material handling systems. We offer four (4) different sizes of the Guilder to support a wide range of conveyor widths and speeds.
Key Features of the Guidler- Solid cast iron roller body for durability and wear resistance
- Up to 4" of belt contact to ensure belt edge guidance and tracking
- Shaft design allows up to 5/8" of axial movement to accommodate belt heave and oscillation
- Operates reliably in harsh conveyor environments
- Compact body height for tight conveyor clearances
- Precision-machined bearing seats for smooth, maintenance free, reliable rotation
- Heavy-duty shaft for stable mounting and long service life
Type R Guidler is designed to support conveyors 16-18" with belts up to
1/2" thickness.
Type K, E and I Guilders have a machined center flat to accommodate
thicker belts and to maximize belt entrapment.
