Hold the Line
Belting is the most expensive component of a conveying system. Superior’s Self-Aligning Idlers ensure that your conveyor belts stay on track, minimizing the chance of severe belt damage.
Concave in shape, the idler’s side guide rollers restrain the belt from running up and over the conveyor. In order to lessen the wear on the belt, the side guide rollers are made with high-grade HDPE that reduces the friction between the idler and belt.

Real Stories, Proven Performance

Built to Spin Clean
Wing pulleys live in the dirtiest spots of a conveyor circuit, where fugitive material can cause damage fast. Superior’s Chevron® Pulley takes that challenge head-on with a v-shaped design that keeps the belt centered, sheds material efficiently, and reduces vibration for longer component life.
Whether you choose the Chevron Pulley or a traditional straight-wing style, every pulley is built with thick rims, solid welds, and precise balance. The result is smooth rotation, longer belt life, and reliable performance in the harshest conditions.
Models
Advantages
Deflect Fugitive Material
Sheds material out and away from the pulley, preventing it from trapping between wings.
Resists Wing Bending
By design, traditional pulleys have always had wing bending issues. By design, the Chevron Pulley does not.
Longer Lasting Belts
When there’s no fugitive material to puncture belting or bent wings to cause mistracking, conveyor belts last a lot longer!
Less Noise & Vibration
Steady, continuous contact between the pulley and belt reduces noise and vibration by as much as 50 dB per pulley.
The Wing That Changed Conveying
This animation highlights the five biggest benefits that made the Chevron Pulley a breakthrough in conveyor performance.
While the clip features a capped-wing model (still available for select applications), today’s Chevron Pulley has evolved, with a full-width wearable wing and optional AR steel construction that extend life even further.
