The Challenge

Aggregate operations, such as Rogers Group at its Gallatin Quarry, face significant challenges with belt protection under harsh conditions. Premature bearing contamination, caused by dust and moisture, often leads to idler lockup, belt damage, and excessive maintenance costs, impacting both productivity and profitability.

“Once we switched over to the Superior rollers, and saw how robust they are, we decided to stick with them. They really work well, and we’re getting great results.”

Chad Daigle
Plant Supervisor

The Solution

Superior Industries redesigned the idler bearing seal, improving contamination resistance through extensive testing. The newly developed SpinGuard® Titanium™ Seals feature advanced sealing technologies for wet and dusty environments, prolonging idler and belt life. This innovative new seal design tackles moisture, dust, and heavy wear applications.

The Results

By implementing Titanium Seals, operators at the Gallatin Quarry have significantly reduced idler failure rates, extended equipment life, and improved uptime. The new seals helped them reduce costly maintenance while protecting the belt.
