Superior Industries unveiled a revised design of its conveyor impact cradle.
The new arrangement includes larger pad cartridges to enhance durability and a reinforced point of connection between the pads and the cradle frame.
According to Superior, the new conveyor impact cradle is a modern redesign of the traditional impact bed. While both products absorb the force of falling material to prevent damage to conveyor belts, Superior says its impact cradle is engineered to address common shortcomings associated with the design of traditional impact beds.
Superior’s design, for example, features a curved bed that fully supports belting, leaving no gaps to trap fugitive material. Also, Superior says pads are easy to slide on or off the cradle frame in tight, hard-to-access transition zones.
Additionally, the company says no special tools are required for its impact cradle. And Superior’s one-piece pads are made from a special urethane to reduce friction and enhance cushioning.
Superior’s impact cradle is available in two more pre-engineered models: medium and heavy duty. These are available in addition to the standard model, which was first introduced in 2017.
