PPI Conveyor Pulleys Built for Demanding Applications
When conveyor systems operate under demanding conditions, pulley performance can have a direct impact on belt life, maintenance requirements and overall system reliability. Weimer Bearing & Transmission offers PPI conveyor pulley solutions engineered for challenging bulk material handling applications, including the Plate Constructed Herringbone Wing Pulley and Mine Duty Drum Pulley.
Designed for applications where conventional pulley designs may struggle with material buildup, abrasion, heavy loading or frequent starts and stops, these PPI pulley innovations provide enhanced durability and reliable performance.
PPI Plate Constructed Herringbone Wing Pulley
The PPI Plate Constructed Herringbone Wing Pulley is designed for applications where conventional wing pulleys experience excessive material lodging and wing folding. Its heavier plate construction, extreme wing angles and reinforced center design provide a rugged solution for conveyor systems.
Wing angles of up to 45° use the rotation of the pulley to help eject material toward the sides of the conveyor rather than allowing it to recirculate around the pulley. The design also provides multiple points of belt contact while maintaining wider gaps between the wings, helping reduce the potential for material entrapment.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Up to 45° wing angles help expel material and resist wing folding
- Wider gaps help reduce material entrapment
- Radius crown design helps reduce stress on the belt while providing belt-tracking capabilities
- Center reinforcement ring increases wing strength
- Heavy-duty wing thickness from 1/2" to 1"
- Available in diameters from 6" to 60"
- Face widths available from 12" to 78"
- Pre-cut lug holes make lifting easier
- Available with XT hubs and bushings
- Designed for applications where conventional wing pulleys may experience excessive buildup or folding
PPI Mine Duty Drum Pulley
For applications requiring additional strength and reliability, the PPI Mine Duty Drum Pulley is engineered with heavier rims and end discs. It is intended for conveyor applications where increased service life and additional safety factor are important.
The Mine Duty Drum Pulley is particularly well suited for conveyors experiencing frequent starts and stops with a loaded belt, as well as applications where increased reliability is desired.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Minimum 150% greater end disc strength compared with Heavy Duty Drum pulleys
- Minimum 300% greater rim strength compared with Heavy Duty Drum pulleys
- Additional capacity for rim wrap factor
- Increased rim thickness for improved abrasion protection
- Manufactured to CEMA standards
- Designed for frequent starts with a loaded belt
- Available in diameters from 12" to 60"
- Face widths available up to 78"
