Spacing rationality of conveyor belt roller depends on various factors include the property of materials, transportation speed, width of conveyor belt and the transportation environment. The following are some common consideration factors and advice.

  1. Material property: Size, shape and particle size of materials will affect the selection of the roller spacing. For relatively large, irregularly shape material. A larger roller spacing might be more suitable to avoid materials stuck or accumulation. For small particle material, smaller roller spacing could ensure the stable material transportation.

  2. Transportation speed, transportation speed will affect the selection of roller spacing. Relatively high transportation speed generally needs small roller spacing to make sure the stability and the balance during the transportation. Lower transportation speed could think a larger roller spacing.

  3.Conveyor belt width: Width of the conveyor belt is one of the important factors to determine the roller spacing. Generally speaking, same width of conveyor belt, with a larger roller spacing could improve the ventilation of the materials and reduce the accumulation and adhesion of materials. But, larger roller spacing might lead to the instability and jumping of the materials, hence it needs to choose the appropriate roller spacing based on the actual situation.

  4.Transportation ambient: Condition of Transportation ambient need to be considered. Such as humid, corrosive, or high-temperature environment will have an impact on the roller and conveyor belts. Thus it might to choose a smaller roller spacing for maintenance and upkeep.
