Superior’s Chevron Pulley further upgraded for more performance
Newly redesigned Chevron Pulley now available in abrasion-resistant steel for enhanced durability
SUPERIOR Industries Inc., the US-based manufacturers and global suppliers of bulk material processing and handling systems, have announced that their newly redesigned Chevron Pulley is now available in abrasion-resistant (AR) steel.
According to the conveyor components manufacturer, the use of AR steel in the manufacturing of conveyor pulleys enhances their durability, especially in applications handling aggressively wearing bulk materials. This reduces maintenance costs, improves operational efficiency, and ensures consistent performance in demanding environments.
In another recent design update, Superior removed the rounded cap on the wings for standard CEMA and Mine Duty models. Now, the entire wing is a wearable feature, which significantly increases the lifespan of the Chevron Pulley in all applications. The rounded wing caps are still optional for Mine Duty models.
Superior’s 2007 invention of the V-shaped Chevron Pulley revolutionized wing performance, offering benefits such as material deflection, reducing trapped material, minimizing belting damage, lowering noise, and being gentler on belt splices and clips compared with traditional straight wing pulleys.
