    Composite idler rolls made from glass fibers and polyurethane resin offer several advantages over traditional steel, PVC, and HDPE rolls. They have high abrasion and corrosion resistance which leads to fewer roll changes and reduced replacement costs. The composite rolls also experience minimal expansion and contraction in different temperatures. Additionally, they are approximately 30% lighter than steel rolls but maintain strength, resulting in energy savings and increased safety. The composite rolls are also static conductive and flame resistant, making them suitable for underground applications.

    Composite Idler Rolls

    Introduces

    Composite Idler Roll Advantages High Abrasion Resistance High Corrosion Resistance Limited Expansion / Contraction Lighter Weight Conductive

    What are composite idler rolls?


    Utilizing RStandard Composite Roller Tubes provided by RS Technologies, FMC introduces a revolutionary idler roll made from a combination of glass fibers providing strength to the roll and Version polyurethane resin which acts as a bonding agent. Compared to traditional steel, PVC, and HDPE products, this improved idler roll exhibits lightweight, strong and durable qualities. The combined expertise of FMC and RS Technologies has resulted in an extremely versatile product suitable for material handling applications around the world.

    Advantages of Composite Roll tubing


    High Abrasion Resistance

    The unique combination of materials extends the service life of the conveyor system by reducing roll and belt wear.

    Fewer Change Outs, Less Belt Damage, Cost Savings

    High Corrosion Resistance


    FMC Composite Rolls are much more resistant to acidic environments than traditional roll materials, resulting in
    fewer change-outs and longer life cycles.

    Reduced Replacement Costs, Increased Efficiency, Time Savings

    Limited Expansion/Contraction

    In both cold and hot conditions, FMC Composite Rolls experience minimal expansion and contraction compared to traditional plastic rolls thereby reducing roll failure due to stress.

    Increased Bearing Life, Less Maintenance, Improved Line Efficiency

    Lighter Weight

    FMC Composite Rolls are approximately 30% lighter than steel without sacrificing strength. This results in significant energy savings when starting up or running the conveyor line, increased safety, and easier installation.

    Increased Efficiency & Safety, Energy Savings, Lighter Weight, Higher Load Capacity, Reduced Noise

    Static Conductive and Flame Resistant

    The FMC Composite Roll is static conductive per ISO-284:2003 and flame resistant per MSHA-IC-244, thus highly effective in underground applications.
