The Challenge

In a highly competitive industry, material handling operations face increasing demands for efficiency and reduced downtime. Conventional wing pulleys, though widely used, often lead to issues like material buildup, wing bending, belt damage, and noise, which compromise productivity.

Many operations, such as Stony Valley Contracting, sought an alternative to traditional wing pulleys that could better handle the heavy loads, reduce maintenance, and improve belt protection in demanding environments.

"We’ve cut our downtime considerably since we don’t have any material buildup. These pulleys stay clean, they’re quiet, and they last longer!”

The Solution

Superior Industries introduced them to the Chevron® Wing Pulley, a V-shaped design that deflects material more effectively than traditional pulleys, minimizing material buildup, wing bending, and belt damage. The Chevron Pulley operates more quietly and with less vibration, significantly extending the life of conveyor belts and reducing maintenance downtime.

Stony Valley Contracting upgraded to the Chevron Wing Pulley and reported improved performance and durability, with fewer belt-tracking problems and quieter operation.
