At PPI, we are the industry leader in conveyor components for the aggregate industry, providing best-in-class solutions for more than 40 years. During this time, our experts have offered not only products that last but also expertise and advice on how producers can select the best options for their specific applications and solve problems.

Through our deep application understanding, we have developed new, innovative solutions like Pro Duty pulleys and our Pro Idler series. Now, we are introducing ContinuWing Technology for wing pulleys.

Extending pulley life in highly abrasive applications has always been a challenge in the conveying industry. Our new ContinuWing Technology incorporates unmatched wear resistance with existing herringbone and conventional wing pulley offerings. Utilizing a proprietary manufacturing process, chromium carbide replaces traditional mild steel or AR alloys used on the face of wing pulleys. ContinuWing Technology will dramatically extend the life expectancy of a pulley, reducing costly maintenance and downtime.

Another relatively new product to the Herringbone Wing pulley family is the CEMA Herringbone wing. It is designed for applications where conventional wings suffer from excessive material lodging and wing folding. The extreme wing angles of up to 45 degrees use the pulley’s rotation to eject material out the sides of the pulley rather than recirculating it as a conventional wing often does. These extreme angles and optimized wing height, along with a center reinforcement disc, all combine to make an incredibly strong design that excels where others fail.

PPI delivers, when customers need products now they know to call PPI. With an inventory of more than 1,200 pulleys and 50,000 idler assemblies in stock, we can get many products out within 24 to 48 hours. In breakdown situations, PPI facilities have been known to manufacture and ship a component the same day. We keep it moving.
