Application-Specific Idler Seals
SpinGuard® Seal Technology
Superior’s patented next-generation SpinGuard Idler Seals offer greater protection in applications known to expose idler bearings to fugitive material prematurely.
Application-specific seal configurations have 5+ years of trial and error testing in lab and field settings. Production lead times for idlers outfitted with these special seals are competitive to idlers with traditional seals.
Extend Conveyor Idler Life
Even in Extreme Operating Conditions
When Superior initially developed its new Titanium Seals, they were tested at this plant, and after a six-month period, the operation switched to the new idler seals going forward.
Four NEW Application-Specific Idler Seal Options
conveying idlers
Wet
APPLICATIONS:
Wash or dredge processes.
Frequent washdowns.
BENEFITS:
Special double contact seal defends bearing from moisture penetration.
DRY
APPLICATIONS:
Crushing and screening producing dust with minimal fines.
BENEFITS:
Oiled and contact seals protect bearing from dry particles and grit.
ECO
APPLICATIONS:
Overland or long distance material handling sites.
BENEFITS:
Seal reduces drag and roll resistance for less horsepower at startup /operation.
TITANIUM™
APPLICATIONS:
Washed sand, fines removal or dredging. Most extreme conditions.
BENEFITS:
Combination of design characteristics from wet and dry seals for ultimate bearing protection
STANDARD SEAL – NEWLY Re-Designed
APPLICATIONS: Traditional material handling not described above. Typically 80-90% of applications.
BENEFITS: While testing our application specific models, we redesigned our standard for the best bearing protection yet.
