Prime® Pulley
Prime Pulleys are the newest addition to Superior’s conveyor pulley portfolio. They combine the best of modern engineering practices with redefined manufacturing techniques.
NEXT GENERATION Pulley
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?
FIVE Benefits of the Prime Pulley
Fewer Welds
An integral hub is machined from a solid piece of steel and eliminates welded joints.
Cost Savings
Are you upgrading to big-ticket, extra heavy-duty construction when you don’t need to?
Less Inventory
It’s a single model capable of performing in multiple applications.
Reduced Weight
This is the result of modern engineering, which positions the weight where it should be.
USA Steel
We still use steel manufactured in America and we still think it’s better!
Protect Your Rights!
Chevron® Wing Pulleys fend off fugitive material.
