Troughing Idler Engineering Information

Idler Cubic Foot Capacity Per Lineal Foot of Belt
Belt Width 3-Roll 35° 3-Roll 20° 2-Roll 15° 2-Roll 25° 2-Roll 30° Maximum Spacing
12 inches — — .05 .08 .09 48 inches
18 inches .28 .14 .13 .19 .23 48 inches
24 inches .39 .21 .23 .35 .41 48 inches
30 inches .50 .29 .38 .56 .65 40 inches
36 inches .61 .36 — — — 40 inches
42 inches .72 .43 — — — 36 inches
48 inches .83 .51 — — — 36 inches
First 3-Roll Idler should be placed 1.5 x belt width from centerline of pulley.
First 2-Roll Idler should be placed 1 x belt width from centerline of pulley.
15 degree idlers should be used first and last as transition for conveyors using 25 and 30 degree 2-Roll Idlers.

Idler Capacity = Product Rate (cubic feet per minute)/Belt Speed (feet per minute x Safety Factor

Example: Product Rate = 5000 lbs. per hour
Belt Speed = 60 feet/minute		 Product weight per cubic foot = 30 lbs
Safety Factor = 2
5000/30 = 167 cubic feet per hour/60 minutes = 2.8 cubic feet per minute/60 FPM = .047 x SF(2) = .093 CuFt per Ft. of Belt
(The minimum requirement for this application would be 12" wide 2-roll 30 degree troughing idlers)
