That looks like it's just ABS pipe and fittings. Have you tried your local hardware store or plumbing supply store?

OK, the rollers seem to be plastic pipe, and the yellow stuff is Urethane Round Belting, available from many sources such as www.mcmaster.com (but probably not Home Depot or Lowes)

Yup, that's exactly what we used: http://www.mcmaster.com/#urethane-round-belts/=g7gn1m

That's the link for the page. Good luck!
