Hush Roll
Current one-piece steel return rolls operate with the belt running over a tube at high speeds creating a vibration.
Current one-piece steel return rolls operate with the belt running over a tube at high speeds creating a vibration. This causes the tube to act as a tuning fork resulting in very loud working conditions.
PPI has developed the Hush Roll as a solution to quieter working conditions and to improve overall workplace safety. This design features bearings at multiple, independent contact points able to grip the belt at high speeds and eliminates the vibration reducing the noise. These contact points also isolate objects caught between the belt and roll. This safer design can be used in some cases to eliminate costly guards which then reduces the overall conveyor cost. This design is ready to bolt in place of the standard 2.125” return roll.
