Kinder K-Wrapper dewatering idler

It has been estimated that the maintenance costs to keep rotating machinery such as conveyors working effectively can account for 30-50% of total operating costs. This figure does not include the lost production time accrued in downtime for stoppages to fix the conveyor and install replacement parts.

The Kinder & Co K-Wrapper dewatering idler is a preventive maintenance tool engineered to extract excess water on conveyor belts surfaces which, if left moist, can lead to belt misalignment as well as the conveyed material slipping or spilling from the belt. Uncontrolled loss of product can lead to a major safety hazard.

The dewatering idler is made from long-lasting and corrosion-proof polyurethane and has a low tension effect on belt cleaning. The belt-friendly product is available for all belt widths and is suitable for reversing conveyors, as well as high-speed conveyors. Once installed and swapped into place with a current idler, the device requires no reactive maintenance.
