INDUSTRIES SERVED: Logistics & Warehousing, Material Handling, Mining

As a dedicated China manufacturer and supplier of industrial PU components, we specialize in the production of high-performance Polyurethane Idler Rollers. Our facility utilizes advanced hot-casting techniques and premium prepolymers to create rollers that deliver superior durability and precise dimensional stability. Unlike standard rubber alternatives, our urethane rollers offer a unique balance of hardness and elasticity, ensuring they protect your conveyor belts while withstanding extreme wear. We pride ourselves on strict quality control, ensuring every roller meets rigorous technical standards before shipment.

These idlers are extensively used in automated logistics, glass processing machinery, mining conveyance, and packaging lines. Whether you are an end-user needing a replacement or an OEM looking for a reliable partner, our rollers are designed to reduce downtime and maintenance costs in material handling systems, elevators, and assembly line equipment.

Application of Polyurethane Idler Rollers

- Support belt conveyors in mining for transporting coal, ore, and gravel smoothly.

- Facilitate quiet operation in warehouse sorting lines and AGV transport systems.

- Withstand saltwater corrosion in port container handling and bulk cargo transport.

- Handle grain, fertilizer, and feed gently in agricultural conveyor systems.

- Reduce friction for production line conveyors in automotive and electronics factories.

- Adapt to high-temperature environments in cement and building material transport.

- Resist chemical exposure in pharmaceutical and chemical industry material handling.

Advantages of Polyurethane Idler Rollers

- Superior abrasion resistance extends service life 3x longer than rubber or metal idlers.

- Low-noise operation (≤65dB) improves workplace comfort and meets safety standards.

- Strong core-coating bond prevents delamination in high-impact and heavy-load use.

- Wide temperature tolerance (-40℃~120℃) adapts to extreme industrial environments.

- Low friction design reduces conveyor energy consumption by 15–20% .

- Corrosion and chemical resistance suits harsh port, mining, and chemical settings.

Case Studies: How Polyurethane Idler Rollers Solved Client Challenges

Case 1: Mining Conveyor Wear Reduction

An Australian mining client faced monthly idler replacements due to ore abrasion. We supplied 150mm-diameter, Shore A 90 polyurethane idlers with stainless steel cores. Post-installation, idler life extended to 12 months, cutting annual replacement costs by 80%.

Case 2: Warehouse Noise Reduction

A German logistics firm needed quieter sorting lines to meet workplace standards. Our low-noise (≤60dB) polyurethane idlers reduced overall facility noise by 25%, improving worker comfort and avoiding regulatory fines.

Selection Guide of Polyurethane Idler Rollers

- Choose diameter based on conveyor load: 30–80mm for light loads; 100–200mm for heavy mining use.

- Opt for Shore A 60–75 for low friction; Shore A 85–95 for high-wear, heavy-duty scenarios.

- Select stainless steel core for corrosive environments (ports, chemical plants).

- Prioritize anti-static coating if using in explosive areas (coal mines, chemical warehouses).

- Confirm conveyor length and mounting type for custom-cut idlers to ensure perfect fit.

- Test free samples to verify noise level and wear resistance for your specific application.

  • How long does it take to receive custom samples?

    Standard samples ship in 5 days; fully custom samples (special hardness/material) take 7–10 days.

  • Can you recoat my existing worn-out steel cores?

    Yes, we offer a cost-effective stripping and polyurethane recoating service to restore your rollers to like-new condition.

  • How long does it take to manufacture custom rollers?

    Standard lead time is 2-3 weeks. However, for urgent requests, we can expedite the process.

  • Are replacement bearings included?

    We can supply the rollers with bearings pre-installed or just the urethane-covered core, depending on your needs.
