Overview
What is Three-roll tracking frame?
The three-roll tracking frame is used to keep the conveyor belt centred. It consists of three carrying rollers with rubber rings, articulated links carrying the rollers, side mounting brackets and a carrier body adjustable in length. Its technical data is determined for your line; during a site survey, our team assesses the current condition of the conveyor system on site.
Belt tracking keeps the conveyor belt running properly and the conveyed material moving in a regular flow. On misaligned belts, wear increases, maintenance and repairs become more frequent and a risk of workplace accidents arises. On the return strand, mistracking (the belt running off to one side) damages the belt edges; correct alignment reduces this damage and the maintenance it causes.
