March 2021: Cutting-edge equipment to consider

Martin Sprocket & Gear combined the fundamentals of screw conveyors and conveyor pulleys to bring the Clean Flight Wing pulley to life. According to Martin, this pulley utilizes formed, helical flights that are continuously welded on a steel core. The result is a conveyor pulley that aggressively conveys and ejects material in less than one revolution, according to the company. Due to the helical flight design, Clean Flight Wing pulleys maintain constant 360-degree contact and do not vibrate like conventional, straight-wing pulleys. They can be run at the same maximum speeds as drum pulleys, Martin says. The faster they run, the more effectively they eject material.
