The Easy Maintenance Retractable Idler (EMRI) allows for simple, speedy and safe access (manually) to all rollers from outside of the conveyor guaranteeing roller change out in a matter of minutes.
The wing roller support frames can be released from their operational position and lowered utilising an inbuilt handle. Once the wing support frames have been lowered, the wing rollers can easily be removed. With the wing support frames lowered and wing rollers removed, two operators can work together to retract the idler frame and allow access to the central roller for maintenance. This design can accommodate three and four roller idlers.
