Hi! my name is Billy, I am a troughing idler. My very important job involves managing the shape of the conveyor belt. You might consider me as a "personal trainer" except as soon as that stupid conveyor belt leaves me he's back to old tricks, taking the shape of a ordinary flat surface conveyor belt. That's why I have so many relatives, we work as a team to improve our employers conveying efficiency by maximizing the load volume capacity of the conveyor belt. On a personal note, you should know I'm regreaseable. |

My name is Joe, I'm Billy's third cousin. My job is fairly simple, all I gotta do is help support the weight of the empty (return) conveyor belt. Without me, the belt stretches till he drags the ground. Billy might make the belt conveyor more productive but I keep the belt ALIVE! |

Joe's the name, supports my game. I support the belt like uncle Billy except I have a flat personality. They use me when a flat conveying surface is preferred. Unlike Joe, who only has to support the weight of the belt, I support the belt and its load. |

They call me Big Daddy, my boy Billy does a great job in shaping the belt and carrying the load but they need me under the feed. My body is designed for impact. With the advantage of added strength and a cushioned surface, my life expectancy is much longer than a plain old troughing idler positioned under the feed end. |

I'm Mickey, and I ain't sticky. My brother in law Joe does the same job except he relies on a clean belt return surface, while I am forced to do the dirty work. What's worse, the conveyor belt cleaner and scraper clan are trying to eliminate my job. |
