Steering Frames

Responsive, long-lasting steering frames

Megaroller’s unique Multisteer conveyor belt steering frames are the key to effective conveyor belt management. Designed to reduce movement on the belt and prevent misalignment, Megaroller Multisteer Steering Frames extend the longevity of conveyor belts and minimize idler damage.

Highly-responsive and Durable:

Megaroller Multisteer Steering Frames are produced using highest quality mild steel tubing, using the latest technologies, according to strict manufacturing standards for superior performance and longevity. Using Megaroller’s unique and innovative design, Multisteer frames are highly-responsive to the movement and weight of the load on the belt to reduce misalignment of the conveyor belt. By automatically adjusting the frame to compensate for the side movement of the belt, the belt is trained without the need for assistance from maintenance staff. The Multisteer frames use a multiple pivoting mechanism mounted at a specific angle between the upper frame and the lower frame. The frame is fitted with Megaroller Impact rollers, which are mounted in a strategic configuration. The pivot mechanism is sensitive and reactive to weight distribution, ensuring that weight is distributed evenly on the belt. The pivot mechanism also allows the upper frame to swivel downward at the side where the belt carries more weight and at the same time the mechanism urges the upper frame to move forward in the direction of the belt travel, forcing the frame on the opposite side of the
pivot to move backward. These actions guide the conveyor belt to the centre position, thereby preventing material spillage as well as conveyor belt, idler and structural damage caused by misaligned conveyor belts. This will help prevent the need to replace a total conveyor belt due to only showing wear on a small strip of the belt. Multisteer conveyor belt steering systems are available in all standard conveyor belt sizes in accordance with SANS 1313-1:2012.

Main advantages are:

  • Designed and tested to operate in the hostile environments
    of the mining industry
  • Prevents belt misalignment without the need for side guide
    rollers which are often the cause of belt edge damage
  • Require no maintenance as the multiple pivot mechanism is
    greased and sealed for life
  • Made from high quality materials for a long lifespan
  • Reduces damage to conveyor belts caused by misalignment
  • Ensure even, centered distribution of weight on the belt
  • Prevents structural damage to rollers
  • Prevents material spillage
