The new ground, stacking and radial-stacking conveyors can be used with Lake Erie’s Pitbull 2300 screening plant to produce three grades of material at once.
Roller bed conveyors excel in tough applications that require consistent and continuous transfer of materials, the company said.
They move heavier loads faster and with less power than slider bed conveyors, which typically have smaller drive pulleys that require more torque to operate.
And because the belts move across rollers instead of the entire surface of a slider bed, they operate with less friction, which is easier on the belts and translates to longer belt life, Lake Erie spokesman Stuart Foradora said.
“Overall, the conveyors are uncomplicated, easy to service and very portable,” he said.
“They also provide easy belt-tracking and last longer. These conveyors complement our Pitbull 2300 screeners both in terms of utility and reliability.
“We are serious about building heavy-duty products that our customers can rely on to take a beating and keep producing. These conveyors fit that description.”
The ground conveyor is mounted on a rugged steel frame that rests directly on the ground, and its large footprint provides exceptional stability.
Users can adjust the stacking and radial stacking models from 5 to 11 feet high and feed material directly into a loading vehicle.
The adjustability also allows users to create larger stockpiles, which increases efficiency by reducing the number of times equipment needs to be moved.
