Belt Positioners, Trackers, and Trainers

The FLEXCO® line of belt trainers use a combination of friction and tension to correct alignment issues and avoid forces that can damage your belt and your structure. Our unique “Pivot and Tilt” technology is used in many of our designs to respond and compensate immediately to belt misalignment.

Belt Positioners

The Belt Positioner™ is the simple, reliable solution for problem belts that consistently mistrack to one side of the conveyor. The Belt Positioner works on the return side belt using simple angled rollers mounted in a fixed position to quickly and continuously funnel the belt into the correct path. This is the “quick fix” solution for belt tracking problems caused by conveyor misalignment mishaps and ground shifts, and can be used on temporary systems.

Features & Benefits

  • Compatible with mechanically fastened, vulcanized and reversing belts
  • No belt edge damage – idler rollers make smooth contact with the return side belts’s bottom cover
  • Maximum Belt Tension:
    1. Small, Medium and Large: 900 PIW (155 N/mm)
    2. Extra-large: 1200 PIW (210 N/mm)
  • Belt speeds up to 1000 fpm (5 m/sec)
  • Belt widths from 18″ – 96″ (450 – 2400 mm)
Installation

Return side installation

The PTEZ™ Belt Trainer provides FLEXCO® yet another high-performance tracking idler at an economical price point. Employing our unique “pivot and tilt” feature using our patented PTEZ™ mechanism, the unit responds and compensates immediately to belt misalignment using the tapered end roller profile to engage the training action. This ensures that the belt stays away from the structure and the material stays on the belt without the use of sensor or edge rollers. As a result, the PTEZ may be used in nearly any application to provide tracking and prevent damage to the belt or structure.
