Impact Beds: Protection from Heavy Loads 

In industries that handle particularly heavy or abrasive bulk materials such as minerals, coal, or cement, conveyor systems are constantly exposed to extreme mechanical stress and require additional conveyor accessories to ensure reliable operation and extended belt life.

Impact bars, when arranged together, form what is known as an impact bed—a protective structure designed to be installed directly beneath conveyor loading zones, which are particularly vulnerable to wear, tearing, and misalignment. The impact bed provides a complete, stable and supportive surface that protect the conveyor belt from damage while minimizing the risk of material spillage and misalignment. By evenly distributing impact forces across the belt, it ensures smooth, continuous operation and significantly reduces stress on the system.

Accessibility, Flexibility, and Long-Term Value

Our products are manufactured using premium-quality rubber and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The rubber layer offers excellent shock-absorbing properties, efficiently damping the energy generated by falling materials during loading operations. The HDPE top layer provides a smooth, low-friction surface allowing the belt to run efficiently while minimizing additional power consumption. This combination of resilience and efficiency ensures superior performance and long-term operational savings.

One of the main advantages of our impact bed system lies in its accessibility and flexibility. The use of high-quality materials ensures long service life while reducing the frequency and cost of maintenance interventions. Additionally, the supplied fixing belts allow for easy, quick, and safe installation and replacement on belt conveyors.

Custom-designed impact bars can also be manufactured for any belt width, inclination angle, or operational requirement. This adaptability enables straightforward conversion from older or traditional impact systems, ensuring compatibility and continuity across diverse conveyor configurations.

Main features

Effective Protection Against Belt Damage

Rulmeca impact bars are designed to protect belt conveyors at loading points by absorbing shocks and dispersing the impact energy generated by falling bulk materials. Equipped with high quality rubber cushions, the impact rollers minimize wear and stress on the conveyor structure, extending its service life. The rubber formulation is optimized for resistance to abrasion, temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure, providing long-lasting protection across a wide range of operating conditions, including harsh environments. The result is a robust, low-maintenance system that enhances overall conveyor longevity and efficiency.

HDPE Contact Surface: Low Friction and High Durability

Each impact bar is equipped with an abrasion-resistant HDPE sliding surface, featuring low friction and excellent corrosion resistance. This advanced material provides excellent corrosion resistance, minimizes wear on both the rollers and the conveyor belt and ensures smooth material flow. The HDPE surface improves system reliability by promoting uniform material movement and slowing down component wear. It provides suitable bars for bulk handling operations and works well in environments with moisture, dust, or chemicals.

Versatility and Ease of Maintenance

Beyond protection and durability, our product excels in versatility and ease of maintenance. They are compatible with a wide range of conveyor configurations, including various belt widths.

The supplied robust fixing bolts simplify installation, allowing rapid assembly or replacement. The modular design of the impact bars enables partial replacements or upgrades with ease, while the low-friction surface minimizes material buildup and simplifies cleaning. This combination of flexibility and user-friendly maintenance significantly reduces downtime and operational costs, providing a reliable and cost-efficient solution for bulk material handling applications.
