Embedded ceramic surface for wear resistance and anti-slip performance in heavy-duty applications.
Overview
The ceramic lagged idler features a roller surface embedded with ceramic elements, designed for heavy-duty, abrasive, and wet environments.
Its ceramic coating significantly increases friction and wear resistance, making it ideal for key conveyor systems in mining, port, steel, and cement industries.

More Details For Our Customers
Structure Composition
This idler is composed of a steel roller body, ceramic lagging layer, precision bearings, dust seals, and a steel shaft. The ceramic lagging consists of sintered ceramic tiles bonded onto a rubber layer and firmly affixed to the roller shell through specialized manufacturing techniques.
Custom Options & Parameters
Ceramic lagged idlers are designed for harsh applications involving high wear, moisture, and corrosion. Multiple customization options are available:
Roller Diameter & Length: Standard diameters range from φ89 to φ159mm, with lengths tailored to belt width (e.g. 650mm, 800mm, 1000mm).
Ceramic Tile Type: Dot-type studs, strip-type ceramics, or full-wrap designs are available to suit anti-slip and abrasion resistance needs.
Ceramic Material & Hardness: Made from alumina or zirconia ceramics with Mohs hardness ≥9 to ensure superior durability.
Roller Shell & Coating: Available in carbon steel or stainless steel, with surface treatments like powder coating, hot-dip galvanizing, or electroplating for corrosion resistance.
Sealing & Bearing Options: High-protection sealing systems (e.g. triple labyrinth seals) and precision bearings (e.g. 6205, 6306) can be configured for enhanced performance.
Manufacturing & Quality Control
Our ceramic lagged idlers are produced using dedicated manufacturing techniques and strict quality control to ensure stable performance under severe conditions.
Premium Materials: Roller shells use high-strength steel tubes; ceramic tiles are made from high-purity alumina or zirconia and bonded with high-strength adhesives under heat and pressure.
Automated Precision Processing: CNC turning, automated welding, and robotic coating systems ensure precise dimensions and surface protection.
Ceramic Embedding Quality Check: All tiles are pre-screened for size and surface pre-treated before application. Finished rollers are inspected for bonding integrity and surface flatness.
Dynamic & Static Balance Testing: Each roller is tested for balance to minimize vibration and ensure smooth operation.
Comprehensive Performance Testing: Every unit is checked for rotation smoothness, sealing integrity, waterproofing, and load-bearing performance before delivery.
FAQ or Maintenance Tips
