37 AGGREGATES MANAGER May 2015 Supply by Therese Dunphy, Editor-in-Chief tdunphy@randallreilly.com JUST ROLL WITH IT Conveyor components keep aggregates rolling smoothly throughout your operation. Its Dodge CEMA conveyor pulleys have been operating the world's most demanding material handling applications for more than 100 years, says Baldor Electric Co. An extensive range of pulleys can be provided with high-quality lagging designed to ensure maximum belt and pulley life in severe duty applications. Standard Dodge Heavy-Duty Drum pulleys meet or exceed CEMA application standards for use with conveyor belts rated to 800 pounds per inch of belt width. Baldor Electric Co. | www.baldor.com Martin Engineering says its new conveyor belt cleaner was engineered to con- tain a smaller total volume of urethane, while maximizing the useable area. By minimizing the non-consumable portion of the blade, the heavy-duty primary belt cleaner is said to deliver the same performance and durability of its pre- decessor, but at a lower purchase price. It is manufactured with the company's Constant Angle Radial Pressure technology to maintain an efficient cleaning angle throughout its service life. It also features a no-tool replacement process that can be safely performed by one person in less than 5 minutes. Martin Engineering | www.martin-eng.com Severe-duty conveyor pulleys New design lowers belt cleaner cost The wobbler from Hewitt-Robins is a training idler designed to solve com- mon conveyor belt training problems. Its unique design, a steel roll cen- tered on a 2.36-inch ball bearing, pivots when the conveyor belt moves off-center and guides it back to allow for efficient conveyor operation. The wobbler is available with a steel roll or with a 1/4-inch ure- thane cover for sticky material or adverse weather conditions. With the urethane cover, the trainer is said to eliminate material build-up on the idler's surface. Wobblers are stabilized by two simple brackets and have no framework on which material can build up. Motion Industries | www.motionindustries.com Wobbler keeps belts on track
