Heritage Cooperative’s Success: Reducing Downtime with High-Performance Conveyor Upgrades

Location Kenton, Ohio
Industry Agriculture

The Challenge

Heritage Cooperative's Kenton, Ohio-based Agronomy Center faced corrosion and material buildup issues within their conveyor systems, leading to belt mis-tracking, premature component failure, and costly maintenance downtime.

To continue operating at peak efficiency, they needed to minimize downtime and improve the wear life of critical conveyor components, especially in moisture-prone and corrosive areas.

The Solution

To address these challenges, Heritage Cooperative partnered with Superior to upgrade their material handling systems. The facility installed corrosion-resistant Moxie® Idler Rolls and stainless-steel frames, which reduced rust and material buildup.

 

Superior also provided Chevron® Wing Pulleys and custom-engineered drive assemblies for key systems, ensuring smooth belt operation, reduced vibration, and extended wear life. The combination of high-performance components tailored to their site helped prevent costly breakdowns.

 
We need solid, cost-effective solutions when upgrading our conveyor components, and that’s what we get from Superior.

The Results

With the implementation of Superior’s innovative conveyor components, Heritage Cooperative saw significant improvements in uptime and maintenance efficiency.

The Moxie Rolls eliminated rust and buildup, while the Chevron Wing Pulleys solved belt-tracking issues. The custom Core Systems Desgin drive assemblies delivered maximum uptime, reducing the need for frequent repairs and minimizing downtime.

As a result, the facility achieved longer wear life, reduced maintenance costs, and increased productivity across its material handling operation.
