STEEL Roller

Megaroller’s new, patented Steel Rollers are designed to ensure accurate bearing alignment and to deliver easier rolling, enhanced efficiency, and less noise pollution. Rolling easily, with less friction, the Megaroller Steel Roller is long lasting, environmentally friendly, and offers amazing new benefits not available in steel rollers.

Easy Rolling, Longer Lasting Rollers

Cost-Effective and Long Lasting:

The Megaroller Steel Roller combines proven technology with innovation for superior bearing alignment, smoother rolling, improved energy efficiency and added protection. These rollers answer to the demand for cost effective, efficient and long-lasting rollers.
The bearing housings are mechanically fixed and not welded to prevent arching of the bearing housing and to ensure more accurately aligned bearings. Less stress on the bearing operation due to better alignment and improved impact absorption due to the bearing carrier all results in longer bearing life. The Megaroller Steel Roller’s easier-rolling bearings produce less friction and less noise.
Manufactured according to strict manufacturing standards, and leveraging Megaroller’s three decades of expertise, the Megaroller Steel Roller provides the same efficiency and durability for which the Megaroller HDPE and Hybrid rollers are renowned.
The optimized efficiency of the Megaroller Steel Roller makes it a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional steel rollers in bulk material handling and mining environments.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES:

Mechanically Fixed Bearing Housing (Patent number 2015/01170)

In the new generation Megaroller Steel Roller, the bearing housings are mechanically fixed instead of being welded into place. This ensures superior bearing alignment to deliver a more efficient and longer-lasting roller.

Cushioned Bearing Carriers
Megaroller’s cushioned bearing carrier made from high-quality Nylon offers vibration shock protection at the most crucial part of the roller – the bearing. It enhances the roller’s impact resistance and guards the bearing against vibration, one of the main causes of roller failure. This additional barrier is unique to Megaroller rollers and drastically enhances roller life.

Anti-seize Flinger
The outer half of the labyrinth seal of the new Megaroller Steel Roller has been increased to offer the additional benefit of creating an anti-seize flinger. Made from high-quality Nylon, this flinger is fixed to the shaft of the roller ensuring a static outer surface while the roller body turns. This feature ensures that no foreign object or piece of raw material can get wedged between the roller and the steel structure and cause the roller to seize prematurely. This ensures a more robust design and a longer-lasting roller.

Anti-Static
Our innovative Antistatic Technology comprising of a copper strip inside the roller that connects the outer shell to the shaft, are applied to the Megaroller Steel Rollers as a standard feature. Static electricity is earthed inside the roller to mitigate the risk of an open spark in methane-rich underground mines, which presents a major fire hazard in coal and gold mines.

Lubricated for Life:

Bearing lubrication is an important factor affecting the theoretical lifespan of any conveyor roller. Bearings are lubricated at the factory and placed inside the bearing housing with a back seal and the bearing carrier providing a protective barrier from both sides of the bearing. This eliminates the need to lubricate at the user level, prevents the risk of over or under-lubrication, and mitigates the risk of bearing failure due to lack of lubrication.

Our high-spec lubricant ticks all the boxes:

• Contains Anti-Rust Additives
• Contains Anti-Oxidant Additives
• Excellent Water Repellent Properties
• Mechanical Stability
• High Temperature
• Performance
• Operating Temperature from below 30°c to +200°c

MAin advantages:

  • Revolutionary design concept for steel rollers
  • Lower noise level
  • Longer lifespan than conventional steel rollers
  • Megaroller design and assembly eliminate bearing misalignment
  • Easier smooth rolling
  • Can operate at higher speeds
  • Extends the lifespan of bearings
  • Lowers maintenance costs
  • Competitive pricing
  • Better return on investment
  • Performs well in harsh weather and extreme applications

Available in:

Standard

Megaroller Steel Rollers are made from mild steel conveyor tubing for maximum strength. Megaroller’s new labyrinth seal design and flinger ensures that these rollers offer less rolling resistance, whilst still offering enhanced protection for harsh operating conditions.

Anti-Runback

Our Anti-Run-Back Technology can be applied to incline belts to prevent the belt from running back in the event of a “belt-snap”, Rollers are fitted with the patented Roller brake system, which ensures that the roller can only run in one direction.
