Motorized conveyor-pulley technology for portable aggregate equipment
Motorised conveyor pulleys contain all the traditional conveyor-belt drive components inside the pulley. Light-duty airport check in, grocery stores and food-processing conveyors, which require compactness, elimination of guarding and component containment, have been using them for years. Portable aggregate-processing equipment require these features, but with higher belt pulls and severe duty beyond the capacity of traditional components in a limited space. New materials, design technologies and automation, converging with safety issues, higher energy and operating costs, have created a pressing need for motorised conveyor pulleys. The challenge is to integrate new technologies and traditional components into a reliable, compact conveyor-belt drive system. Aggregate duty enhancements to a motorised conveyor pulley might include a high-performance seal material, seal guard or flinger, synthetic oil, 13-mm minimum thickness and 60 durometer diamond pattern lagging for extended service life. Convergence of industrial-duty needs with the evolution of technology and materials have made it possible to create a robust industrial belt-conveyor drive. The attributes of compactness, safety, power density and reliability in hostile environments are especially suited for drives in portable aggregate-processing equipment.
