Reliable materials for conveyor belt splicing and repair
ASGCO offers a comprehensive line of conveyor belt splicing materials designed for a variety of applications, including hot repairs, hot vulcanized splices and cold bond splices. According to the company, it stocks a full range of materials operators need – hot vulcanizing cement, uncured rubber tie gum, uncured cover material, release paper, breaker fabric, cleaning solvent and cold bond adhesives. ASGCO says its splice materials deliver excellent adhesion and dependable performance, providing technicians with reliable, readily available solutions for their splicing needs.
Roller design enhances conveyor cleaning, performance
The urethane beater return roller offers longevity and consistent performance, according to Luff Industries. The roller’s design ensures effective cleaning to keep conveying systems free from debris, buildup and contaminants. The roller is designed to seamlessly fit into standard brackets, offering easy installation and integration into existing setups.
Vibratory feeders for efficient bulk material handling
The Jeffrey Rader electromagnetic vibratory feeder offers high-capacity, precision feeding in bulk material handling. According to TerraSource Global, the feeder is engineered for efficiency and delivers consistent, high-frequency vibration using sub-resonant tuning that adapts as deck liners wear. With no moving parts, TerraSource says the feeder provides operators with a solution that is virtually maintenance free – and one that leads to fewer unexpected shutdowns. The feeder is designed with a rebuildable power unit, an easy-access rear cover and vibration-absorbing suspension or support springs.
Self-cleaning electromagnets protect downstream equipment
Self-cleaning electromagnets from Dings Co. Magnetic Group are designed with several features that make the protection of downstream processing equipment from tramp metal more efficient and dependable. According to Dings, its electromagnets are designed with a unique anodized aluminum electromagnetic coil. Because of the design, Dings electromagnets don’t require an external oil expansion tank or piping that requires maintenance. Instead, all necessary cooling oil can be contained in the magnet box itself. Additionally, the company’s self-cleaning electromagnets are equipped with a multi-ply rubber self-cleaning belt featuring 1-in. hot vulcanized cleats. The belt continuously travels across the face of the magnet, discharging tramp iron automatically.
Belt cleaner designed for tough belts
The chevron conveyor belt cleaner from Argonics is designed for hard-to-clean chevron, cleated or raised rib belts, providing efficient carryback removal. The polyurethane fingers are designed to remove material without damaging belts. The cleaner’s modular blade design allows for toolless replacements, reducing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency. Its powder-coated steel components hold up in harsh environments, Argonics says, making the belt cleaner a reliable solution for a variety of industries. The chevron belt cleaner is suitable for both mechanically spliced and vulcanized belts.
Control material better in surge tunnels
The EMF two-mass electromechanical vibrating feeder tackles tough, heavy-duty applications with precision, according to Deister Machine Co. The EMF feeder allows producers to gain greater control over feed and flow while delivering higher feed rates. Featuring a unique drive system, Deister says the EMF feeder is commonly used in surge tunnels, excelling at starting and stopping while under a burden load. The feeder delivers a consistent material feed, the company adds, and a more uniform product flow through the plant.
Power transmission components to explore
New cooling systems boost drive performance
SEW-EURODRIVE now offers external oil cooling and supply systems for heavy industry gearing (HIG). The HIG drive systems are built and configured in Wellford, South Carolina, offering lead times as short as six weeks. According to the company, the systems are engineered to support today’s torque-dense gearboxes where thermal limitations often determine gearbox size. SEW-Eurodrive’s cooling and supply systems can be tailored to a producer’s specific requirements. They include modular, sensor-ready features to support system reliability and monitoring.
Aiming to simplify bearing installation
The Crossloc locking system from COC BEARINGS features an adapter-locking design offering 360-degree clamping that resists vibration without damaging the shaft. In contrast, COC Bearings says conventional locknut systems are difficult to install correctly and often lead to improper mounting. With Crossloc, the company says anyone can install a bearing easily and reliably, reducing the risk of installation errors while extending bearing life.
