Conveying Parts Conveyor Drum Pulleys

Power That Keeps Pulling

Drum pulleys deliver the driving force that keeps conveyors moving. Superior builds them for strength and longevity, with heavy-duty construction that handles high tension and constant torque without flexing or slipping.

Each pulley is made to match your application—drive, tail, bend, or take-up—with options for ceramic lagging, crown profiles, and custom diameters. It’s dependable power that keeps your belt tight and your production steady.
