A simple, robust steel frame used to support the conveyor belt on its return path beneath the carrying line.
The **Flat or Return Idler Frame** is a conveyor component designed to support a single, horizontal roller (the return idler) that carries the empty conveyor belt back from the discharge point to the tail pulley. Unlike the troughing frames, this structure maintains the belt in a flat profile, as it is only carrying the weight of the belt itself and any residual material. Constructed from durable, welded steel, this frame ensures the belt maintains proper alignment and prevents sagging along the return run, which is crucial for overall system stability and belt life. The notched ends facilitate quick installation and replacement of the return idler roller.
