ASGCO offers new conveyor idlers

The Complete Conveyor Solutions business unit of Nazareth, Pennsylvania-based ASGCO says its new Grip-Trac Rubber Tru-Trainer Conveyor Belt Tracking Idlers are engineered to enhance tracking for bulk material handling applications and enhance efficiency, safety and productivity.

ASGCO says the new product line combines its patented Tru-Trainer technology with a new, improved design and molded rubber manufacturing process.

The new rubber design includes an arrowhead configuration on the ends of the rolls with cross-linked sipes ASGCO says are specially engineered on the outer ends of the rolls and on the inner ribs to reduce slippage and increase grip in wet conditions.

“This manufacturing and design innovation improves the overall adhesion of the Grip-Trac rubber to the Tru-Trainers, delivering enhanced grip, durability and wear resistance,” states the equipment maker, whose markets include the aggregates and slag recycling sectors.

ASGCO says previous iterations of its Tru-Trainer Conveyor Belt Tracking Idlers have been trusted “for years” to “actively sense belt movement and automatically realign, keeping systems operating at peak performance.”

The latest design upgrade, says the firm, means Tru-Trainers now feature “a more durable, high-traction solution built to handle the toughest conditions in mining, aggregate and heavy industrial applications, reducing spillage, extending belt life and keeping productivity on track.”

ASGCO, founded in 1971, describes itself as a diversified company with three major divisions that serve specific targets of the material handling industry.
