Impact Beds

Impact Beds: Essential Protection for Conveyor Belts at Heavy Load Zones

An Impact Bed is a engineered support system installed at conveyor loading points (transfer chutes) to absorb the force of falling material and protect the belt from damage. Replacing traditional rigid idlers, its closely spaced rubber or UHMW-PE slider bars and impact-absorbing structure cushion the belt, preventing tears, gouges, and premature wear caused by heavy or sharp-edged bulk materials.

Core Advantages:

Belt Protection: Absorbs impact energy to prevent belt damage from heavy, sharp, or large lumps.

Spillage Control: Provides continuous support to seal the belt edges, reducing material leakage.

Improved Belt Tracking: Supports the belt across its full width, promoting better alignment.

Reduced Maintenance: Minimizes damage to idlers and belt, lowering replacement costs and downtime.

Low Friction: Smooth slider bars reduce belt drag and wear.

Ideal for protecting belts under crusher discharges, screening plant feeds, ship/truck loading points, and any high-impact transfer zone in mining, quarry, and bulk terminal operations.
