3-Roll Pneumatic Tracker Keeps Light-Duty Conveyor Belts Centered
When a conveyor belt drifts off centerline during normal operation, it wears out early, damages the conveyor structure, and causes unscheduled downtime and repair labor. Those costs add up fast on parcel handling and food processing lines that run long shifts. Flexco's 3-Roll Pneumatic Tracker is a self-adjusting pneumatic belt tracker for light-duty conveyors. It keeps the belt aligned continuously, monitoring belt position in real time and correcting drift automatically, with no manual adjustment and no need to stop the line.
Paddles positioned along the belt detect its position. When the belt moves too far off centerline and actuates a paddle, three auto-tilting rollers pivot to guide it back to center. The three rollers form a wider wrap angle for stronger belt contact. A bi-directional pneumatic cylinder narrows the tracking window to hold the belt tightly centered. Because correction is continuous, small tracking issues are handled before they lead to belt wear, structural damage, or downtime.
The tracker is built from washdown-rated stainless steel for environments with strict hygiene requirements. It comes in six sizes for belts from 24 to 60 in. (610 to 1,524 mm) wide, with roller lengths from 32 to 62 in. (813 to 1,575 mm).
