Superior Industries, said it has made the most significant redesign to its conveyor idlers in decades. This update is backed by a substantial $4.5 million investment in cutting-edge idler manufacturing equipment at its American production locations.
“Tens of thousands of Superior idlers are installed on our own conveyors every year, so roll performance really, really matters,” said Jason Adams, president of Superior.
“The new idler exceeds our own high performance standards and we’re excited for other conveyor owners and operators to benefit from this upgrade,” added Adams.
According to Superior Industries, a uniquely vertically-integrated manufacturer of conveying equipment and components, these are the key innovations of the new idler design:
• Ironclad Weld Joint at Tube to End Disc
• Flush end disc prevents material entrapment between roll and frame
• Weld bead is securely housed within the roll’s structure, ensuring
added durability
• Modern, robotic welding for greater weld penetration and extreme consistency
• Revamped Designs of Idler Bearing Seals
• A decade of rigorous testing results in an unmatched bearing protection system
• Lifespan of standard bearing seals surpasses all other models tested
• Premium Titanium® Seal provides extended longevity for demanding applications
• Major Upgrade to Idler Manufacturing
