Better Belt Tracking with Superior’s Navigator® Return Trainer

Conveyor component designed to center the belt and provide alignment.

There’s nothing more frustrating than an uncooperative, mistracked conveyor belt. Misalignment in just one spot can create havoc on an entire system. To beat the battle of the belt Superior introduces you to their Navigator return trainer; an economic, maintenance-friendly solution designed for continuous alignment.


Designed free of any frame work which is prone to material buildup.

The internal bearings stay protected from any material buildup.

Producer Perspective: Killeen Crushed Stone; Killeen, Texas

To automatically eliminate belt mistracking on the side conveyor of its mobile, track-mounted cone crushing plant, Killeen Crushed Stone uses a Navigator return trainer. Plant Superintendent Pat Sharp says they placed the return trainer at the point where the conveyor angles.

“Bottom-line, this solution has made a believer out of me. We have no mistracking problems at all. It has paid for itself many times over in the reduction of maintenance labor and downtime,” he says.

“Without the Navigator return trainer, we would have to adjust the conveyor belt after each travel of the tracks, and after each transport of the plant to a new location. Now we have no adjustments at all. It’s been worth its weight in gold,” he says.


At this quarry in Ohio, the maintenance department dealt frequently with belt mistracking. In some spots, the belts were tearing or wearing away return idler brackets.
