Trough Tracker

The Trough Tracker was specifacally developed to accommodate the load-carrying side of the belt. Obviously, due to the troughed nature uf this side of the belt, a different tracking configuraiton was required.

Wing rollers were incorporated into design to activate our standard cenrtal pivot system. The activating wing rolls are set tot have a maximum effective contact between the belt edge and the wing roller of 25°-55° (instead of the usual 90°), and are compatible with all troughed belts from 15°-45°. These wing rolls are set to miss the edge of the existing troughed conveyor by between 5mm-10mm on either side. As the belt moves off-centre the belt slides up the wing roll this causes the TT Tracker to pivot on its internal pivot and steer the belt back to centre with minimum force. 

The unique aspect of TT Trough Tracker is that the centre roll does all the steering and not the wing rolls, as this is where the most effecitve steering forces are exerted.
