PPI Introduces the Precision Composite Roller

Date: 3/3/2026

PELLA, Iowa — Precision Pulley & Idler (PPI) is proud to offer the Precision Composite Roller™ (PCR), fully load-capable idlers engineered to deliver performance without compromise. PCR provides significant weight reduction, reducing strain on maintenance personnel and conveyor structures while delivering exceptional durability in harsh, demanding environments.

Designed to withstand corrosion, wear, and abrasion, PCR extends product life and reduces noise from belt contact compared to steel rolls, contributing to quieter operation. Available in six material options, PCR can be customized to meet the most challenging applications. Additional features include Retro Roll capability for simplified upgrades and Spinweld construction for enhanced strength and long-term reliability.

“This summer our Corning Iowa factory is planned to begin producing PCR rolls in addition to current availability from the South African operation,” said Tim Wolf, Vice President of Engineering at PPI.
