Impact Idlers – Choose from our wide selection of idler stylers with the addition of rubber discs built to absorb impact and dissipate shock loads to bearings, idler frames and conveyor structure.

Troughing idlers – Troughing idlers typically contain 3 rolls with wing roll inclinations of 20, 35 or 45 degrees

  • Unequal Troughing Idlers – Unequal Troughing Idlers are typically chosen for their lower profile design. This idler lays out the material and allows for easy sorting and separation
  • Channel Inset Troughing Idlers – This low profile design is often used on portable equipment or between frame mounting vertical clearances are minimal
  • Self-aligning Troughing Idlers – Training Idlers assist in training the belt and protect belt edges from damage caused by misalignment. Available in bi-directional design
  • Carrier and Return Idlers – Return idlers support and carry the empty belt on the return side

PPI Grain idler –  Designed to protect the lightweight belting that is typically used in the grain industry, PPI’s Grain Idler incorporates an offset center roll design. By offsetting the center roll relative to the wing rolls it eliminates the pinch point, protecting the most expensive piece of the conveyor system, the belt.

Ehrsam Replacements – IBT has worked extensively with PPI in developing the Ehrsam Style Retro idlers now being offered.
