In an industrial material handling and conveying system, pulleys keep products and your belt moving. If your application involves harsh conditions or requires continuous operation, Douglas Manufacturing offers an innovative pulley that can provide added support to improve efficiency and reduce unscheduled maintenance and breakdowns. Here is more information about what this device can do.

Introducing the Vortex™ by Douglas Manufacturing

Features an Innovative Design

The Vortex™ pulley features a continuous flight design, with a corkscrew-like motion that prevents wing folding and service delays. The welds along every wing and its core, which exceeds CEMA/ANSI specifications, also give it additional strength. Each end of the pulley features Douglas’s patented plow design, forcing any tramp material down and away from the belt, bearings, other equipment, and workers.

Supports Harsh Applications

Since they run smoothly, reduce vibration and noise, and improve sealing at transfer points, Vortex™ pulleys are ideal for material handling and conveying in facilities that demand continuous operation. Its wings and center support feature a sweeping auger action, which eliminates maintenance and downtime by providing efficient self-cleaning.

Is Easy to Install

As effective and durable as they are, Vortex™ pulleys are also easy to install, keeping your operation running smoothly and reducing the risk of field installation errors. In agricultural fields and other material handling and conveying applications that require frequent adaptation and adjustment, this pulley improves productivity in the short- and long-term.
