PCI® Launches Even More Solutions Through Innovation
PCI® has been developing Conveyor Pulleys and Components for nearly 40 years. An integral part of our success has been our commitment to understanding the ever-changing needs of our valued customers and developing solutions that turn application hurdles into success stories. It is this critical interaction that has fueled the development of three new products: Eradicator® Max style return rolls, The Dominator Heavy Duty Wing Pulleys, and Tension Indicating Take-Up Frames.
Eradicator® Max Style Return Rolls
PCI’s Eradicator Max Return Roll addresses the performance shortfalls commonly associated with beater bar, squirrel cage and rubber disk style return rolls by maximizing unit strength, optimizing clean-out, and multiplying the serviceable hours of the unit.
- A return roll that is BUILT TO LAST with the enhanced clean-out capability of the Eradicator® Max Wing Pulley
- Designed to outlast traditional tube and beater bar style return rolls by:
- Shedding abrasive material faster than any other return roll
- Providing a deeper wear surface than traditional return roll.
- Increasing shaft sizes to accommodate bearings with a longer L10 life
- Available in both live shaft and dead shaft configurations

The Dominator HD Wing Pulley (8” – 12” Diameters)
Heavy duty wing pulleys are commonly constructed with gussets for added strength. However, with small diameter wing pulleys, there is not adequate height between the hub and the OD to accommodate an effective gusset angle, thereby no longer providing the desired reinforcement to the vulnerable wing member. With the launch of the new Dominator Wing Pulley, PCI provides enhanced wing strength by incorporating design cues of our successful Eradicator® Wing Pulley into a traditional wing pulley design.
- Self-gusseted angled wings add more strength and go further to prevent wing fold over than traditional gussets can in this size range
- Each wing tip is supported by two consecutive wings for additional strength
- The patented design of the Dominator HD Wing Pulley maximizes the material cleanout rate by incorporating the proven design features of The Eradicator® Wing

Tension Indicating Take-Up Frames
PCI® Tension Indicating Telescoping Take-Up Frames utilize spring pressure to help maintain belt tension and automatically adjust for belt stretch and sudden load changes. Another feature, exclusive to PCI, is the tension indicating scale, which provides a real time readout of the belt tension.
- Real-time belt tension readout offers optimum tracking and monitoring
- Enables quick and easy installment for rapid set-up duplication
- Displays available amount of adjustment left on the take-up frame

Ice-Eradicator® Pulleys
PCI® patent pending Ice-Eradicator® is the world’s first proven solution to temper the costly effects of frozen conveyor belts. When installed in the head position, a drum style Ice-Eradicator® will de-ice and soften the conveyor belt encouraging startup in freezing conditions. PCI’s innovative technology can also be adapted to any Eradicator® or Deflector® wing pulley to discourage problems related to ice buildup in non-drive positions.
- Reduces belt slip in cold environments
- Discourages belt freeze
- Reduces safety risks posed by direct human intervention
- Easy installation with minimal modification to existing conveyor structure

The Eradicator® Wing Pulleys
PCI® innovations in the design of the Eradicator® product family combine the best features of a traditional wing pulley with several unique performance enhancing characteristics to create the optimum self-cleaning solution for virtually any environment. The Eradicator’s design benefits include:
- Accelerated cleanout
- Increased component life
- Enhanced belt tracking
- Quieter operation
