The DTII Belt Conveyor Taper Roller, also known as a conical or self-aligning roller, is a specialized component of the DTII conveyor system, an advanced evolution of the TD75 standard, widely used in mining, coal, cement, and other heavy industries. Positioned on the carrying or return side of the conveyor, taper rollers feature a conical shape that helps prevent belt deviation by guiding the belt back to its center, ensuring proper alignment.
These rollers are critical for maintaining conveyor stability, especially in high-tension or long-distance systems handling materials like coal, ore, or aggregates. Built to withstand harsh mining environments, DTII taper rollers reduce belt wear, minimize downtime, and enhance operational efficiency. This page explains what taper rollers do, where they’re used, how to install them, what users say, and answers common questions, all in plain language to help you decide if they’re right for your conveyor system.

Suits long-distance conveyors, like a 5 km system in Shanxi, ensuring stable belt tracking.
Cement Plants
Maintains belt alignment when handling sticky cement or clinker, reducing maintenance.
Corrosion-resistant coatings withstand abrasive environments.
Ports and Terminals
Ensures belt alignment during loading/unloading of coal, grain, or aggregates.
Rust-resistant coatings are ideal for salty coastal conditions.
Construction
Corrects belt deviation in systems carrying gravel, sand, or aggregates on job sites.
Works with mobile or fixed conveyors for flexible setups.
Power Plants
Maintains alignment in systems handling coal or ash, preventing spillage.
Designed for dusty, high-tension environments.

Installing DTII Taper Rollers is straightforward with these steps:
Verify Specifications
Ensure the roller’s diameter, length, taper angle, and frame design match your conveyor’s belt and alignment requirements.
Confirm the frame can support the roller’s weight and belt tension.
Position the Rollers
Install taper rollers on the carrying or return side, typically in pairs or sets, spaced 1-3 meters apart based on belt width and load.
Use sturdy frames to secure the rollers, ensuring they align with the belt’s trough angle (20°, 35°, or 45°).
Align the Rollers
Set rollers at a slight angle to the belt’s centerline to enable self-aligning action.
Use a laser level or string line to align rollers with adjacent idlers for consistent tracking.
Inspect Bearings and Seals
Verify bearings are lubricated with lithium soap grease and triple labyrinth seals are intact.
Avoid disturbing seals to maintain dust and water resistance.
Adjust Belt Tension
Set tension to keep the belt taut without overloading the rollers. Use:[ T = \frac{P_p \cdot 1000}{v} ] where (T) is tension (Newtons), (P_p) is power (kilowatts), and (v) is belt speed (meters/second) [].
Test the System
Run the conveyor at low speed with no load to check roller performance, alignment correction, and belt tracking.
Adjust roller positions if the belt drifts or shows uneven wear.
Use trained technicians to meet safety and industry standards.
Document installation details for maintenance records.
