Enhanced conveyor impact cradle from Superior
New and improved impact cradle arrangement plus addition of medium and heavy-duty models
SUPERIOR Industries Inc., US-based manufacturers and global suppliers of bulk material processing and handling systems, have unveiled a revised design of their popular conveyor impact cradle. The new and improved arrangement includes larger pad cartridges to enhance durability and a reinforced point of connection between the pads and cradle frame.
According to Superior’s engineers, the conveyor impact cradle is a modern redesign of the traditional impact bed. While both products absorb the force of falling material to prevent damage to conveyor belts, the impact cradle is specifically engineered to address common shortcomings associated with the design of traditional impact beds.
For example, the curved cradle fully supports belting, leaving no gaps to trap fugitive material; the pads are easy to slide on or off the cradle frame in tight, hard-to-access transition zones; no special tools required, which speeds installation and maintenance; and the one-piece pads are made from a special urethane to reduce friction and enhance cushioning.
In addition to these redesigned features, Superior’s impact cradle is now available in two more pre-engineered models – medium- and heavy-duty – as well as to the standard model which was first introduced to conveyor owners in 2017.
