Valmec | Highcon

The Next-Generation Conveyor Roller for Enhanced Load Capacity, Stability, and Cost Efficiency

Key Features:

• Semicircular Shape: The shape of the Valmec allows the belt to better conform to the trough, reducing sharp bends and enabling the use of thicker belts or belts with higher transverse rigidity
• Improved Stability: The system ensures greater stability for both the belt and the material being conveyed, thanks to its self-aligning geometry and the ability to tension the belt with a steel rope device.
• Efficiency in New Installations: In new setups, the Valmec allows the use of a narrower belt compared to traditional 30° trough conveyors, lowering the cost of mechanical parts, pulleys, and structural frames.
• Space and Weight Optimization: Compared to traditional systems, the Valmec significantly reduces weight and overall dimensions, eliminating roller supports (transoms) by mounting directly onto the supporting frame.

Advantages Over Traditional Systems:

• Higher Load Capacity: The Valmec increases load capacity (m³/h) compared to traditional 3 or 5 roller trough systems:
• Up to 35% more capacity than traditional 3-roll 30° troughs.
• 20% more capacity than traditional 3-roll 45° troughs
• 8% more capacity than traditional 5-roll 60° troughs.
• Increased Distance Between Idler Stations: The Valmec allows the distance between idler stations to be increased by a factor of 2 to 3 compared to traditional roller systems.

Easy Installation and Compatibility:

• Easy Adaptation: The Valmec is compatible with existing support frames, reducing installation costs and easily adjusting the inclination to suit different operational needs.
• Cost Reduction: Whether for new or retrofit installations, the Valmec system offers an excellent cost-benefit ratio, improving performance while keeping operational costs low.
