I'm building a new 17' long section of a aggregate conveyor that has 2 troughing roller and one head pulley.
My question is, should the head pulley be on the same plane as the flat roller that is part of the troughing rollers.
or maybe another way to say the same thing... if I were to run a string across the top several of the center rollers, when the string comes across the head pulley they would all be on the same plane.
I've built several slider bed belt conveyors over the years and usually keep the head and tail pulleys about a 1/16" higher than the bed itself.
However, on troughing rollers you have the low center roller and the 2 angled rollers.... so I'm not sure if it would be common to have the head or tail pulley a little higher than the low center roller's
