Abstract
The design and technological features of forming the end zone of conveyor roller shells are considered. It is shown that conventional welded and non-formed tubular shells are characterized by increased stress concentration and reduced operational reliability. A design solution for the shell end based on hot rotary forming of a tubular blank is proposed. A technological scheme for forming a flanged end with a closed radius profile without welding is developed. It is established that the proposed solution reduces stress concentration in the end zone and increases the service life of belt conveyor rollers. The obtained results can be used in the design and modernization of rollers operated in mining enterprises
