Introducing the K-Shield Dynamax® Impact Idler, a game-changer for heavy-duty mining applications.
Designed by Kinder Australia, this innovation is tailored for high-capacity conveyors with no limits on belt speed or width.
The innovation journey started in Western Australia’s mining hub, where a client faced frequent failures at the load zone, risking $1.5 million per hour of downtime.
Traditional solutions failed, demanding a revolutionary approach to extend idler service life. Kinder Australia’s engineers crafted the K-Shield Dynamax® Impact Idler.
This dual trough roll configuration matches existing profiles, maximising loading capacity. Suspended on anti-vibration mounts, it absorbs impact efficiently, ensuring durability and reliability.
The idler boasts a torsion spring element and sway bar suspension with polyurethane bushes for stability.
Its heavy-duty frame can be custom-designed for specific applications, and the dual roll idler is available in various configurations.
This innovation increases conveyor belt life, reduces maintenance, and lowers total ownership costs.
The idler frame’s jack-down feature simplifies roller replacement, enhancing operational efficiency.
The K-Shield Dynamax® Impact Idler eliminated unscheduled shutdowns, extended service intervals, and increased conveyor belt life by 30 percent, transforming a monthly headache into an 18-month success story.
