Re: Conveyor Belt treads idler & Sprocket help

Buy some rollers that are made for the job.

Steel rollers are usually used for this application, although nylon rollers will work also for lower tensions. A slightly convex roller is usually used on one end, so that the belt stays centered automatically.
