1. Product Overview
ZOOMRY spiral idler rollers are self-cleaning return-side idlers for bulk material conveyor systems. A welded steel helix on the roller shell directs sticky carryback toward the roller edges during rotation — helping maintain a more consistent roller profile in coal, clay, wet ash, and sticky mineral applications. Available in roller diameters from 76mm to 219mm and lengths from 190mm to 3,500mm.
For a detailed explanation of the self-cleaning mechanism and comparison with rubber disc return rollers, see our steel spiral return roller flagship page.
The spiral return roller helps maintain a consistent roller profile by directing carryback toward the roller edges.
2. Key Features
Welded Steel Helix Surface — Directs sticky carryback toward the roller edges during rotation, helping reduce buildup near the belt center in coal and clay return-side applications.
Labyrinth Seal Arrangement — Non-contact labyrinth seal design helps protect the bearing assembly from dust and moisture ingress while maintaining low rotational resistance.
High-Precision ERW Roller Pipe — Q235 carbon steel pipe with excellent roundness and straightness for well-balanced rotation and reduced vibration.
C3-Clearance Deep-Groove Ball Bearings — C3 clearance can be selected to accommodate operating temperature and fit conditions. Bearing protection is supported by the roller's external labyrinth seal arrangement. Bearing options: SKF, FAG, NSK, LYC, HRB.
Multiple Surface / Spiral Options — Painted, rubber-coated, welded steel spiral, or galvanized configuration available to match operating environment and material conditions.
