Broader pulley line

Superior Industries is widening its line of Chevron wing pulleys. The new units are designed for construction applications and can be used in light duty, portable conveyors that make infrequent starts and stops. The wing pulleys retain the firm's patented v-shape construction, which is said to help deflect material and prevent it from lodging.

2979 Superior Industries is widening its line of Chevron wing pulleys. The new units are designed for construction applications and can be used in light duty, portable conveyors that make infrequent starts and stops. The wing pulleys retain the firm's patented v-shape construction, which is said to help deflect material and prevent it from lodging. The company claims that the design performs better in tough applications than standard wing pulleys. Because the risk of material becoming trapped between the pulley wings is reduced, this also increases wing pulley life and cuts belt damage. Other benefits include much lower sound levels generated by the Chevron wing pulley. With the addition, Superior's Chevron wing pulleys are now available in CEMA rated construction with diameters from 254-508mm and face widths from 508mm to 1.6m, plus Super Duty styles with diameters from 305mm - 1.22m and face widths from 305mm - 1.98m.
