Drive roller

The driving roller is the driving wheel of the belt conveyor and the main component for transmitting power. The driving belt conveyor can be divided into single roller, double roller and multi-roller. Single roller is mostly used for conveyors with low power, such as ground transportation in coal mines and coal preparation plants. Underground belt conveyors generally use double rollers to make the conveyor structure compact.

The surface of the driving roller can be exposed steel surface or rubber, such as herringbone and diamond pattern rubber covering; exposed steel surface can be used for low power, small bandwidth and dry environment; the herringbone pattern rubber surface has a large friction coefficient, good anti-slip and drainage, but has directionality; the diamond rubber surface is used for belt conveyors running in both directions.
