ABSTRACT:
An impact slider-type idler for use in the transition section of a bulk material conveyor supports the belt against the impact of material to be conveyed in the transition section and, at the same time, guides the belt from the tail pulley of the conveyor into the desired troughing angle. The slider of this invention employs a plurality of support members extending transversely of the direction of movement of the belt, in side-by-side relation. The support members are formed with T-shaped supports along the upper surface, which supports are inclined to define an increment of change in the troughing angle. Each of the support members carries on the T-shaped supports polymeric segments or blocks which extend transversely of the belt. The angle formed by each section progressively supports the belt between the flat condition as it leaves the tail pulley to a fully troughted position as it exits the transition zone.
