Precision Pulley & Idler (PPI) debuted Precision Composite Rollers, fully load-capable conveyor idlers engineered to deliver performance without compromise.
Exhibiting in Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center during last week’s ConExpo-Con/Agg, PPI says PCR provides significant weight reduction, reducing strain on maintenance personnel and conveyor structures while delivering exceptional durability in harsh, demanding environments.
Designed to withstand corrosion, wear and abrasion, PCR also extends product life and reduces noise from belt contact compared to steel rolls. It’s available in six material options.
According to PPI, PCR can be customized to meet the most challenging applications. Features include Retro Roll capability for simplified upgrades and Spinweld construction for enhanced strength and long-term reliability.
“This summer, our Corning, Iowa, factory is planned to begin producing PCR rolls in addition to current availability from the South African operation,” says Tim Wolf, vice president of engineering at PPI.
