Meet the Titanium™ Idler Seal

25% longer
Idler Life

More than 80% of premature idler failures come down to the bearing. And every failure means more than a replacement roll, it means added labor, downtime and lost production. (There's also that ear-piercing bearing squeal that can haunt your sleep).


That’s why Superior went after the problem at its first line of defense: the idler roll seal.

FROM THE FIELD
"After a 3-million tons year and six days
a week, we haven’t replaced a single
Superior idler."
~ BRIAN @ VULCAN
"Titanium Seals are delivering longer roll life in our wettest, grittiest applications."
– Kevin @ Heidelberg

HOW WE TESTED

Why did one idler
bearing seal keep winning?

Our testing showed Titanium™ Bearing Seals outperformed the other idlers. But why?

We asked our chief engineer to break down what’s actually happening inside an idler, how contaminants find their way toward the bearing, and what we did differently with the Titanium™ Seal.

 

Paul D. Schmidgall describes the seal design and why it matters.

Testing results

Every seal claims to keep contamination out.
We wanted proof.

So Superior engineers put the Titanium™ Seal and seven other popular rolls through controlled testing built to recreate what idlers face in the field: dust, dirt, moisture and other harsh conditions.

We didn’t just run one test. We tested again, and again, and again. And the same seal kept coming out on top.

How much are failed idlers costing you?

The cost of a failed idler goes well beyond the replacement part. First, there’s the idler itself. Then there’s the labor, maintenance time, and lost production required to change it.

Multiply that across all of your conveyors, and extending idler life starts to matter pretty quickly.

So, what does it really cost to replace an idler?
