Abstract
A guide roller for centering conveyor belts for a conveyor assembly. The roller has a securing end for attachment to the conveyor assembly and a substantially cylindrical body adapted to receive a conveyor belt thereon and having a first end, a second end and an undercut portion positioned substantially between the first end and the second end, which is adapted to receive and secure therein a belt edge of a conveyor belt. The first end and second have a greater diameter than that of the undercut portion, so that the belt edge of the belt is secured without lateral movement of the belt.
