Conveyor Idler & Return Discs for the Material Handling Industry
In the material handling industry, conveyor systems are at the heart of moving goods efficiently. Over time, continuous belt contact, abrasive materials, and heavy loads can cause excessive wear to conveyor rollers and belts. Conveyor idlers and return discs play a vital role in protecting these systems, ensuring smoother operation and longer equipment life.
At Clifton Rubber, we produce high-quality rubber conveyor idlers and return discs designed for exceptional wear resistance and performance in demanding environments.

What Are Conveyor Idler & Return Discs?
Conveyor idler discs and return discs are circular rubber components fitted to conveyor rollers to:

- Prevent material build-up on rollers.
- Absorb impact from heavy or abrasive loads.
- Extend the life of both rollers and belts.
Manufactured from premium-grade rubber compounds, our discs are engineered to perform under heavy-duty, continuous operation.
