AGGREGATES MANAGER May 2015 38 According to Thayer Scale, its single idler 'Quarry King' Conveyor Belt Scale was designed for outdoor conveyor weighing of aggregates and fines where rugged construction and spill-proof suspension design are the most important attributes. The new pipestem single idler suspension system incorporates built-in storage means for its calibration weight (no test chains are required). Thayer Scale says the combination of its rocking flexure fulcrums and suspension sys- tem provides an important advantage for operations concerned about dust build-up and spillage. The idlers can be used on troughed belt idlers ranging from 18 to 48 inches in width, operating at speeds up to 600 feet per minute and inclines of up to 18 degrees.

It features grease-purged Viton seals to prevent leakage and trap abrasives before they can groove the shaft or enter the gear drive. The TA bushing design cuts instal- lation and removal time, the manufacturer says, and is positioned on the conveyor side of the gear unit, which positions the sheave closer to the bearings to reduce overhung load and increase bearing life.
