Drum Pulleys

Winner’s Circle
Drum pulleys are one of the most versatile components of a conveyor system. Depending on their specifications, they can serve in a variety of roles or positions, including drive or head, return or tail, bend tensioning, snub tensioning and/or take-up pulleys, which increase or decrease the amount of slack in your conveyor belt.
Maximum pulley life is essential to cost-efficient material handling and high-capacity production. Importantly, a manufacturer’s approach to pulley design, manufacturing and proper application has a direct effect upon pulley reliability or potential pulley failure.

Next Generation Pulley
Prime Pulleys
Prime® Pulleys are the newest addition to Superior’s conveyor pulley portfolio. They combine the best of modern engineering practices with redefined manufacturing techniques.
It’s not too light — which can be a disadvantage of CEMA Duty drum pulleys — but it’s not too heavy either. Frankly, Mine Duty model drums can be overkill sometimes. In many applications, Superior’s new Prime Pulley is just right.
How do you know if the Prime Pulley is right for you?
