Maintenance-free and lubrication-free knife edge rollers

Knife edge rollers are special rollers for belt conveyors in conveyor technology to precisely guide conveyor belts with tight belt deflection. iglidur, the material used, offers high wear resistance in dynamic applications. Whether you require individual or catalogue dimensions, you will find the right knife edge rollers for your application.

Advantages of our rollers for rolling knife edges

• For particularly tight belt deflection
• Free from maintenance and lubrication
• Suitable for direct contact with food
• No product contamination from lubricants
• Durable and wear-resistant
• Hygienic design without ball or needle rollers
• Resistant to temperatures and chemicals
• Easy to clean
• Cost-effective

Application in food processing

It is not only raw baked goods that present machine builders in the food sector with considerable challenges. If two conveyor belts or knife edges are joined together with a butt joint, the radii of the rollers create a gap between the two belts. The risk: sensitive products, such as raw pasta, can slip into it.

To transfer these products safely from one belt to another, the belt deflection of the conveyor belts and the gap between the belts must be kept as small as possible.
