For Immediate Release

Morris, MN, February 10, 2009 – Superior Industries, a leading manufacturer of conveyor systems and components, announced today that the company’s new wing pulley was awarded a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This patented pulley design is sold under Superior Industries’ Federally Registered Trademark “Chevron® wing pulley”.

The innovative v-shape design helps to shed and deflect material resulting in reduced wing bending and extended belt life. Additionally, the design aids belt tracking and maintains a sound level that measures 50 decibels quieter than standard wing pulleys. Superior’s Chevron wing pulley is sold in both CEMA and super duty specifications.

Headquartered in Morris, Minnesota, Superior Industries designs and fabricates a full line of conveying equipment, telescoping conveyors, feed systems, conveyor idlers, pulleys, as well as other conveyor components.
