Refurbished Pulleys
Carters refurbished pulleys are built with the goal of achieving the maximum service life from a conveyer system. Carters refurbishment are not an OEM, this gives the versatility for the highest quality products on the market to be selected and installed during the refurbishment of your conveyer components. These components are paired with the SKF certified pulley rebuilding team to deliver a professional conveyer pulley refurbishment service based in Bathurst, NSW.
Pulley Servicing
Pulleys are completely disassembled, and serviceability is assessed on each component using an in-depth live reporting system, allowing us to provide prompt quotes for refurbishment. Assessment
includes:
- bearing inspection and RCA as requested
- shaft dimensional conformance inspection
- shell dimensional conformance inspection
- NDT inspection of shaft
- shell and lagging inspection
Once an assessment has been finalised, Carters deliver a fully refurbished conveyer pulley as per client specifications, to a quality standard which is as good, or better than, OEM standard. All refurbishments are accompanied with a thorough report of the process.
Components
Bearings and Seals
Demanding and harsh conditions require the full complement of the best bearing and sealing components to increase the conveyor pulley service life. Carters are partnered with SKF to offer mine specification 3 barrier technology bearing component solutions which are held in stock at our Bathurst branch. Carters uses the latest technology in bearing installation processes as well as trained technicians to deliver a reliable bearing package on time and in a safe manner.
Keyless Locking Elements
Locking elements for Carters refurbishments are sourced from reputable manufacturers to ensure they meet the load requirements of the conveyer pulleys application. Locking elements are installed and torqued with calibrated equipment as per manufacturer specifications.
Lagging
Carters utilise two inhouse autoclaves and Elastotec approved applicators to install hot vulcanised rubber or ceramic lagging to conveyer pulleys with excess of 20n/mm of adhesion strength. Carters lagged pulleys boast no de-bonding or delamination as well as no area for moisture ingress to enter the pulley shell meaning the shell can be reused upon next refurbishment saving time and cost.
Reliability
Acceptance Testing
As a final quality assurance inspection, Carters have the inhouse capability to complete a loaded vibration analysis survey of pulleys up to 30-ton gross mass. This service offers a quantifiable measurement of the pulleys health before it leaves the refurbishment centre ensuring confidence in the pulley when it is put into service.
Storage & Transport
Carters manufacture basic or fully engineered transport frames for conveyer pulleys equipped with lashing points and anti-brinelling devices. Pulleys are fitted with galvanised sheet lagging protection, anti-corrosion oils and tapes to exposed shafts to ensure the pulley is delivered safely and without undue damage.
Supply and Upgrade
Carters supply engineered conveyer pulleys as per OEM specification adhering to machining, welding and balancing tolerances and procedures. All pulleys are supplied with material certification, dimensional and balance reports. Carters can analyse and verify the engineering suitability of conveyer pulleys for the conveyer system and environment which they will be put in providing the best outcome for a replacement or upgraded pulley solution.
