YeloRoll
Portsmouth, Virginia – The demands on conveying systems
multiply dramatically during the winter season, especially in those
climates where snow and ice are the norm. Conventional
conveyor rolls are made of steel, which causes numerous problems
when the snow flies.
Steel is a conductor. So temperatures on the outside of a
steel can roll are transferred inside. Any moisture that
builds up inside of a steel roller can cause some serious damage to
the roll, especially in the winter months.
Back on the outside, steel is easily etched by chemicals and
scratched by wayward aggregate. These surface blemishes are a
home for water and freezing temperatures and hitchhiking aggregate
that sticks to the can surface, causing wear and tear to the belt
itself.
Innoveyor, Inc. now offers a line of titanium-enriched PVC
(polyvinylchloride) idler drums. These heavy-duty,
lightweight rolls, branded YeloRoll® due to it’s color,
offer a number of features and benefits over any other roll on the
market today, especially during the winter months when conventional
steel can rolls can bring down a production line with every dip in
the ambient temperature.
The t-PVC-based YeloRoll® exceeds CEMA D standards. In
snow and ice, this unique roller design prevents build-up that will
damage the belt, slow productivity and eventually bring production
to a halt. Its smooth, non-porous surface rejects the
graining and abrasion of steel can rolls. And it won’t
rust or corrode.
These same issues are avoided year-round with the YeloRoll®,
which also rejects caustic and corrosive materials being
transported by the belt. YeloRoll® maintains a smooth,
non-stick surface that also prevents belt misalignment in any
weather condition. YeloRoll® offers a 250% longer shell
life.
The heart of the working end of all YeloRoll® rolls is a
high-quality, double-sealed, self-lubricating ball bearing
system. Unlike the taper bearings used in conventional steel
can rolls, this runs smoother, cooler and quieter – 55%
quieter! Its carbon-fiber Combi-Cap™ aids in reducing
noise as well as the shock and vibration encountered in steel can
systems.
Unlike steel can systems, YeloRoll’s® unique t-PVC
shells from Innoveyor are insulators, protecting against the
transfer of heat and cold and thus condensation at the
inner-working components while at the same time, reducing and
actually preventing the risk of fire.
These same inner components are kept clean and dry through the use
of YeloRoll’s® Combi-Cap™ system that protects the
shaft ends. Its triple labyrinth seals keep dirt and other
debris away from the roll and its critical inside components.
Technician-friendly, even more so during the cold winter months,
YeloRolls® weigh 60% less than their same-sized steel can
behemoths. For more information on the complete line of
YeloRoll® t-PVC conveyor rolls, contact Innoveyor at
