Cylindrical conveyor pulleys for drive, tail, take-up, snub, and bend positions. Built with PCI's Trapezoidal Crown and Contoured Integral End Disks for maximum belt life and fatigue resistance.
PCI's FC and MC Series drum pulleys cover most standard-to-medium-duty applications and serve in head, tail, return, snub, bend, and take-up positions. Both feature PCI's Trapezoidal Crown technology to keep the belt tracking and extend its life. The two series differ mainly in how the crown is formed.
Diameters: 2" through 12.75"
PCI organizes its stainless conveyor pulleys into four classes so you can match the level of cleanliness and finish to the application — from FDA/USDA sanitary lines down to economical corrosion resistance. Used in head, tail, return, snub, bend, and take-up positions wherever material selection matters.
PCI's top sanitary tier, built to meet 3A, USDA, and FDA cleanliness requirements for strict food and pharmaceutical environments. A premium surface finish and intelligent construction minimize harborage points.
A fully machined pulley for applications that want maximum cleaning efficiency and clean aesthetics but don't require formal FDA/USDA compliance.
A cleaning-efficient stainless pulley for applications where direct food contact isn't a primary concern but corrosion resistance and washdown capability are still needed.
An economical stainless option for applications that need corrosion resistance and reduced magnetic properties without any sanitary requirement.
PCI's heavy-duty and mine-duty drum pulleys are engineered with selective weight distribution — strength placed where it's needed — to meet or exceed CEMA standards. The difference between the two is component thickness: thicker components for higher impact and abrasion resistance.
Diameters: Standards up to 60"
Designed to meet CEMA construction standards for standard-duty belt conveyors handling packaged or bulk goods.
Diameters: Up to 60"
Exceeds CEMA construction standards for more demanding conveyors where impact loads are likely, using thicker components for added strength and abrasion resistance.
Diameters: Up to 60"
Self-cleaning conveyor pulleys whose open, non-continuous contact surface lets loose material fall away rather than recirculate and damage the belt. Includes PCI's patented Eradicator family and a full range of traditional wing designs.
PCI's patented self-cleaning wing pulley family. The Eradicator's hybrid wing and cleanout-port design ejects material up to 40 times faster than a traditional wing while keeping continuous belt contact — for longer component life, better tracking, and quieter operation.
The original patented hybrid-wing self-cleaning pulley — failure-free since 2016. Retains the belt-cleaning benefits of a traditional wing while adding continuous contact and dramatically improved cleanout.
Combines the Eradicator's cleanout rate with maximum wear-life and strength across all diameters. The solid wing design wears without forming the sharp edges that damage belts, so it can be run down to the core as long as take-up travel allows.
Directional Discharge with Diamond Rim for reversing/dual-direction conveyors handling material 3" and smaller. Operates in both directions while forcing material discharge to one side of the conveyor only.
Directional Discharge with circumferential tips for reversing conveyors handling all material sizes. Like the D² with Rim, it runs in both directions while directing discharge to one side only.
Enhanced Elevator boot pulley that brings Eradicator technology to bucket elevators. Its optimized rim keeps constant belt contact to reduce belt jumping and bucket shaking, while angled wings let grain fall through rather than be crushed.
Diameters: Up to 60"
PCI's full range of traditional self-cleaning wing pulleys, primarily for the tail end of bulk-handling systems where loose material collects under the belt. Open voids between wings let material fall away. Configurations differ by component thickness and reinforcement (gussets, rings) and by wing profile.
A patented 8"–12" heavy-duty wing that maximizes cleanout by borrowing the Eradicator's angled-wing design. Self-gusseted angled wings resist fold-over better than non-gusseted designs. Deflector enabled.
Diameters: 8" – 12"
A 14"–52" heavy-duty wing that adds PCI's patented ports and angled deflectors to direct material to the pulley's outer edges, cleaning out about 5 times faster than a plain traditional wing.
Diameters: 14" – 52"
Built for the most demanding bulk-handling applications where extreme loading is likely. Gussets and reinforcing rings stabilize the wing members. Deflector enabled.
Diameters: 12" – 52"
For light-to-medium-duty bulk handling where material removal is wanted but impact and extreme loading are unlikely. Flat tips maximize belt contact and rigidity.
Diameters: 6" – 12"
Solid steel round bars welded to a series of disks form the pulley core. The open body provides added cleanout over round-bar or standard wing designs.
A series of solid steel round bars welded to a tube or pipe core. The robust construction adds a safety factor in harsh environments.
Steel wing members formed into a bent shape resembling the number seven. The profile reduces belt wear while keeping construction economical for light-duty applications.
Provides self-cleaning benefits in the smallest pulley diameters. Wing members can use flat-tip fins, round bar, or custom profiles.
PCI's patented Ice Eradicator® is the first proven solution to temper the costly effects of frozen conveyor belts. In the head position, a drum-style Ice Eradicator de-ices and softens the belt to encourage startup in freezing conditions; the technology also adapts to Eradicator and Deflector wing pulleys to fight ice buildup in non-drive positions. Patent# 11,572,234.
A drum-style de-icing pulley for the head position. Its elevated temperature softens and de-ices the belt so the conveyor can start reliably in freezing conditions.
Ice Eradicator technology adapted to a wing pulley. Its elevated temperature prevents snow and ice buildup between the wings during operation or shutdown, in non-drive positions.
Supporting conveyor components — return rolls, take-up frames and covers, custom shafting, pneumatic clutches and brakes, and deflection wheels — to round out a complete conveyor system.
Return rolls built on Eradicator-MAX technology to address the performance shortfalls of traditional return rolls, keeping the return side of the belt clean and extending component life.
