New longer lasting AR Chevron® pulley available from Superior Industries

Posted on 5 Jun 2014

Superior Industries offers a brand new, longer lasting model of its popular Chevron Pulleys. Manufactured with special high tensile steel, the new AR Chevron Pulley model is designed for conveyor owners who require extra high performance and guaranteed uptime at their material handling operations. Superior says its new AR Chevron Pulleys are available in Mine Duty and Super Duty models, in diameters of 254-mm to 1,067-mm and face widths of 305-mm to 1,905-mm. Superior encourages bulk handlers requiring sizes that exceed these options to contact their local Superior distribution partner.

First introduced to the market in 2007, the Chevron Pulley is a V-shaped wing pulley designed to deflect fugitive material. As a result, the pulley lasts longer and better protects conveyor belts against punctures when compared to traditional wing pulleys. In addition, continuous pulley contact with the conveyor’s belting reduces a beating action caused by the pulleys wings and decreases pulley noise by 50 dB.
