DTII Belt Conveyor V Type Comb Idler for Mining Machinery

DTII Belt Conveyor V Type Comb Idler for Mining Machinery

The DTII Belt Conveyor V Type Comb Idler is a specialized component in the DTII conveyor system, an advanced iteration of the TD75 standard, widely used in mining, coal, ports, and other heavy industries. These idlers feature a V-shaped configuration with comb-like bars or teeth, typically placed on the return side (underside) of the conveyor to support the empty belt.

The V shape ensures belt alignment, while the comb design allows sticky or loose material to fall through gaps, preventing buildup and reducing belt wear. Built to withstand harsh mining conditions, these idlers promote smooth operation, minimize maintenance, and enhance conveyor efficiency. This page explains what V type comb idlers 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.

Installation Guidelines:

Installing DTII V Type Comb Idlers is straightforward with these steps:

1. Verify Specifications

   • Ensure the idler’s bar diameter, length, V angle (10°, 15°), comb spacing, and frame design match your conveyor’s belt and return side requirements.

   • Confirm the frame can support the idler’s weight and belt tension.

2. Position the Idlers

   • Install on the return side of the conveyor, typically spaced 6-10 feet apart based on belt width and tension.

   • Use V-shaped frames to secure the comb idlers, ensuring proper belt cradling.

3. Align the Idlers

   • Set idlers perpendicular to the belt to ensure even support and prevent mistracking.

   • Use a laser level or string line to align the frame with adjacent idlers for consistent tracking.

4. 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.

5. Adjust Belt Tension

   • Set tension to keep the return belt taut without overloading the idlers. 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).

6. Test the System

   • Run the conveyor at low speed with no load to check idler performance, belt alignment, and material pass-through.

   • Adjust the frame or idler position if the belt sags or drifts.
