Two-piece Split-Spools for Line-shaft conveyors (shaft driven conveyors)
quickly replaces standard, one-piece line-shaft spool pulleys. Eliminates
the need to disassemble the conveyor to replace spools. Saves hours
of labor and conveyor downtime. Red spools are standard size. Green spools
are speed-up size. Both fit TGW Ermanco's spool connectors.
Two parts fit together precisely, so there are virtually no bumps
that can abrade line-shaft belts. High concentricity provides
very efficient rotation, which reduces rolling resistance, thereby
saving energy and extending drive belt life.
Alignment notches on each split spool allow installation
by feel alone, so part can be quickly installed behind frames or
guards -- even in the dark. Tight snap-fit means no screws to tighten or
lose. Always remains closed unless you open it.
Will not fall off shaft.
New Split
Speed-up Spool (Green) has the same foot print on the
shaft as regular spools, i.e.1.23" (31mm) long, so there is no need
to change spacers when replacing regular spools.
It is a drop-in replacement. Increases roller speed by 44%. Colored
bright green for safety – lets
you see at a glance which conveyor zones are moving faster.

To open the spool (i.e., separate the two halves), place both
thumbs in hole in one end, then rotate wrists -- like you would
to split a peach. If spool is on shaft, slide a small screw driver under one
edge and lift. Spool will pop open.
Our plastic split spool is made from Delrin® 500P. Operates
at higher temperatures and wears longer than most other plastics.
Quiet operation -- will not squeak. Works on both 1" and 25mm shafts.
Reasonably priced.
For the best in two piece Split Spools (half spools), Speedup Spools and
pulleys for lineshaft and shaft driven conveyors, insist on Dura-Belt.
New Split
Spools with extra high drive: We learned the hard
way that Delrin can shrink after sitting in inventory for a few
months if it is not molded correctly. Two such production lots
shrank slightly, causing the spools to fit fairly tightly on the
shaft. Some of these were unwittingly shipped to customers. Many
were returned as defective, but some were praised because of the extra drive
they provided – about 50% more. We have several thousand in
stock. If you would like split spools or split speedup spools with extra
drive, please specify “extra drive” with your order. If
there is enough demand, it will become a new product. (Use them
where you would use keyed spools -- not on sections where accumulation
regularly occurs, as they could overheat and melt.)
