Pell City, AL—Douglas Manufacturing Co., Inc. has a new and innovative con-cept in self-cleaning pulley design. The cutting edge design is for harsh operating conditions and for those applications where uninterrupted operation is a must.

Design features are more efficient self-cleaning ability than standard wing pulleys and smoother running, reduced vibration, improved sealing at transfer points and reduces noise level. With the spiral design it aids belt tracking and moves the belt gently toward the middle of the pulley. Additionally, unique continuous flight design with continuous welds prevents wing folding, patent pending plow design forces tramp material to the edge of the pulley and discharges it down away from the belt, bearings, and other equipment. The abrasion resistant cen-ter and edge support is standard and XT style bushings are standard and the keyless locking elements and QD style bushings are optional. Contact Douglas to learn more about this pulley at: 800-884-0064

This new class offering also includes multiple copies of FOUNDATIONS™ for Con-veyor Safety, the newly published reference volume from Martin Engineering. To-gether, the reference book and training modules serve as components of a powerful educational tool.
