Conveyor Accessories
Part of the solution
The Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association (CEMA) classifies conveyor parts three ways: idlers, pulleys and accessories. However, we classify further so you can find the products you’re looking for more quickly.
For example, products like belt cleaners, load zone solutions and safety solutions. The rest of our conveyor parts that don’t fall into one of those categories are listed here.
Belt Covers
Also known as conveyor hoods, belt covers serve a number of purposes. For instance, conveyor owners may want to protect the material they handle from weather conditions like rain or wind.
Belt scales
Characterized by a unique, flush-mount design, owners and operators can avoid cutting or torching their conveyor frame for installation of Superior’s belt scale.
Belt speed sensors
Superior’s belt speed sensor monitors the speed of conveyor belting by producing electronic pulses interpreted by a PLC or sensor module.
Auto Greasers
Superior’s auto greaser consists of a reusable control unit, a lubricant canister filled with 4.4 ounces of grease and a protection cover.
