Martin Engineering introduces new return roller Martin Engineering has introduced a new return roller for its conveyor system technologies. The new design is a trackmounted, pivoting, return-side idler that allows service and replacement from one side of the conveyor. The Evo Return Roller’s track-mounted assembly utilizes one-pin
quick change functionality to make service fast and easy. As a result, the roll can be replaced by one person in less time, reducing the risk of injuries. Evo Return Rollers help improve safety and prevent injuries by minimizing suspension and heavy lifting, while reducing the time and resources needed for service or replacement. The return roller also features an integrated fine adjustment to completely square the belt. Return rollers can be employed anywhere there is belt sag on the return side of the conveyor, or in situations where there are seizing issues that require frequent roll replacement.
