SOLVE TOUGH MAINTENANCE
PROBLEMS ECONOMICALLY
Utilizing the same basic frame as the Turn Clean™ the
patented VAN GORP
®
SNAP-BACK
®
Pulley eliminates
virtually every maintenance problem on conveyor systems
handling wet, sticky or abrasive materials. Its exclusive
design allows the pulley to automatically clean itself by
reducing build-up, belt wear and eventually maintenance
and downtime problems. Here’s how it works:
High tensile strength rubber or Urethane lagging, encased
in a steel jacket, displaces upon belt contact. When belt
contact is broken, the rubber actually “snaps back” to its
original height. Ideal in snub and bend applications where
the pulley comes into contact with the belt’s carrying
side.
This unique feature assures minimum belt wear and
maximum cleaning efficiency for years of maintenance-free
service. Lagging can be easily and economically changed in
the field by merely installing a new channeled rubber insert
within the heavy-duty, 7-gauge steel jacket channel.

SPECIAL WING PULLEYS
Engineered For Special Applications
This is a very unique wing pulley application. A
conventional drum pulley was used in the original
installation and it was a constant problem; build-up
would cause belt misalignment. The drum pulley was
replaced with a special engineered wing pulley and
the build-up problem was solved.
LIGHTWEIGHT SLAT
Occasionally the need arises for small diameter slat type
pulleys which are used in small unloading and loading
conveyors. VAN GORP has designed a light weight slat
pulley in 4" - 5
1
/
8
" - 6" diameters. Since the diameter is
so small, it is impossible to use gussets in this pulley,
but the individual slat wing principle is applied. If an
excessive amount of moist, sticky material such as clay
or bulk fertilizer falls on the pulley and belt, it is possible
to stop the conveyor and then clean the material out of
the wing openings. This pulley is offered with solid bore
hubs in the 4", 5 1/8" and 6" diameters and a XT15 hub
in the 6" diameter. Solid bores have one key-way and
two set screws in each hub.
