Spanish term

Estaciones de rodillos

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
From an instruction manual for a conveyor belt to be used in quarries:

"**Estaciones de rodillos** con orificios para tornillos de amarre rasgados que facilitan el centrado de la banda."

Roller stations? Roller groups?

Spanish from Spain for British English audience.

Any help much appreciated.

Roller stations

This seems to be the term used (see link below for photos)

Also: [0020] FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic side view of a conveyor belt supported by roller stations;

[0021] FIG. 2 is an end view of a station in section on plane II-II of FIG. 2; and

[0022] FIG. 3 is a corresponding side view seen looking along arrow III of FIG. 2.

[0023] The conveyor 1 shown in FIG. 1 is intended, for example, for transporting minerals taken from a quarry. It comprises a conveyor belt 3 forming a loop and engaged at its ends around two reversing rollers 5 and 7. Of those two rollers, one roller 5 is motor driven for driving the belt 3, thereby defining the upstream end of the belt 3. The loop is thus made up of a top segment 8 for transporting minerals, and a return bottom segment 8'.
