Lorbrand carry a large range of rollers to suit most conveying applications. This
enables the customer to receive the most cost-effective solution. Installations include
coal, gold, platinum, diamond and copper mines, shiploading terminals and long
high capacity conveyors throughout the world. The centrifical self-cleaning action of
the seals ensure that bearings are able to achieve the design life. The grease-free
sealing system results in much lower friction values than conventional designs.

Primary Sealing
The secret to the success of the primary sealing area lies
in the fact that dirt, which enters, is ALLOWED TO
ESCAPE. The reinforced plastic seal collects dirt and
flings it radially outward due to centrifugal force (3 - 9
times gravitational). Most roll manufacturers fail to realize
that dirt WILL penetrate the primary sealing area and that
the only way to expel this dirt is by centrifugal force. Most
primary seals are thus dirt-catchers!
Secondary Sealing
Dirt, which enters secondary sealing area, is again
propelled outwards by centrifugal force. All sealing
surfaces are clean and free from contact and do not
require packing with grease. The sealing arrangement is
so designed that water drains out of the seal when the
idler is stationary. Most secondary seals on the market are
of the labyrinth type and centrifugal force actually helps
keep dirt in the sealing area where it can work its way to
the bearing.
Bearing Sealing
Deep groove, greased for life bearings complete with
seals on both sides are recommended instead of cheaper
alternatives. The bearing seals form the final barrier
against dirt ingress especially rust particles, which are
formed due to condensation inside the shell tube.
Apart from the rubber discs, the same components and seals are used for the steel rollers.

Outside of our steel range of rollers we manufacture a complete range of idlers in the following configurations;

• Composite/HDPE
• Hollow Shaft - rolls between 700mm & 1700mm face (in any of the above variantions)

Choose series 25 with 6205-2RS bearings with either
Try a stepped shaft of 22 mm (d2)
101 or 127 diameter. A choice in the 127 diameter
roll, will result in two advantages: Load factor = 1.45
2. Lower power consumption due to low friction Choose series 20 rollers with 89 or 101 diameter tube.
Specify a 22 mm shaft for the return rollers.
