New Split
Spool for Line-shaft conveyors (shaft driven conveyors) quickly
replaces standard, one-piece line-shaft spools. Eliminates
the need to disassemble the conveyor to replace spools. Saves hours
of labor and conveyor downtime.
Parts fit together precisely, so there are virtually no bumps
or gaps that can abrade line-shaft belts. High concentricity provides
very efficient rotation, which reduces rolling resistance, thereby
saving energy and extending drive belt life.
Can be installed in two ways:
1. Clutch action
-- like standard one-piece spools.
Automatically slips when boxes jam or accumulate. Prevents damage
to drive belts. Safety
feature – also prevents injury to workers if hands or clothing
get caught in belts or rollers.
2. Locked to
shaft with Adhesive. Provides positive
drive on curves or merges. Eliminates the need for expensive keyed
shafts
and keyed spools. (The two part adhesive is not included. Please
specify
"adhesive" if you want it included at an extra cost.
It can be removed by softening it with a soldering iron or mini
butane torch.)
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.
To open the spool (separate the halves), place both thumbs in
hole in one end, then rotate wrists -- like you would split a peach.
Spool
will pop
open. If spool is on conveyor, slide a small screw driver under one
edge and pop open.
Our plastic split spools are 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 Split Spools for lineshaft and shaft driven conveyors,
insist on Dura-Belt.
