A troughing roller is a type of conveyor belt roller that is designed to support and guide the conveyor belt along its path.
It typically has a cylindrical shape with a series of tapered ends, which allows it to fit snugly into the trough of the conveyor belt. Troughing rollers are often used in heavy-duty applications, such as mining and construction, where the conveyor belt may be carrying heavy loads or traveling over rough terrain. They can be made from a variety of materials, such as steel or rubber, depending on the specific application requirements.
The main function of the troughing roller is to ensure that the conveyor belt stays centered and does not become misaligned, which can cause damage to the belt or other components of the conveyor system.
