FMC Technologies displayed the new
FMC 2000 Series conveyor idler rolls,
which exceed CEMA load ratings. The new
rolls feature pressed heads, eliminating
distortion. Machined bearing seats, and
the placement of the bearing close to the
shaft supports, provides very low bearing
misalignment. Excellent protection against
the ingress of contaminants is provided by
the combination of an outer quad-gap horizontal
labyrinth member and a dual-lip
nitrile rubber shaft contact seal. HDPE
sleeves and epoxy paint are available as
options to provide additional protection in
the acidic conditions encountered in copper
mining. FMC Technologies produces a
range of materials handling solutions under
the Syntron and Link-Belt brands, and
examples of this were on display.
