Valor Vertical Shaft Impactor (VSI) | Superior Industries

Morris, Minn. – Superior Industries, Inc., a U.S. based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, unveils three new models of its Valor® Vertical Shaft Impact (VSI) crusher at booth C31389 during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020.

Available in horsepower units of 250, 400 and 600 (185, 300 and 445 kW), this new belt drive model VSI is manufactured with a hydraulic lid. That allows safer and easier access to the crushing chamber. An open lid is safeguarded by a micro safety switch and safety support arm. An externally-adjusted feeding tube is standard and allows adjustments without opening the crusher. Additional features include a replaceable pedestal-style bearing assembly, vibration protection from an integrated switch and special anti-vibration mounts, plus automation to monitor vibration, oil temperature and oil flow.

Owners and operators can select from a number of options to customize their VSI including several rotors, ports and shoe tables. In addition to the new belt drive model, a gear drive model will be shown in Superior’s booth as well.

Notable features of the P500 model cone include:

  • Inverted or reverse design of tramp relief cylinders ensures the hydraulic seals are not exposed to contamination during operation.
  • Tramp relief system designed with fewer accumulators for less maintenance. An automatic pressure relief valve means additional protection.
  • Universal crushing chamber design requires no major, time-consuming change-outs when transitioning from secondary to tertiary applications.
  • If loss of clamping pressure, counterclockwise countershaft rotation causes crusher to open rather than turn down, which can cause significant damage.

Superior manufactures its full line of Patriot Cone Crushers in 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 horsepower models. Each purchase comes with a lifetime warranty to protect the cone’s major components including the adjustment ring, bowl, eccentric, head, mainframe and main shaft.

Brand NEW Application-Specific Seals Will Extend Conveyor Idler Life In Unique Operating Conditions

SpinGuard Idler Seals

Morris, Minn. – Superior Industries, Inc., a U.S. based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, will revolutionize the conveyor idler market when it introduces a group of application-specific idlers seals at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020. They’re one of a dozen new products the company will introduce in booth C31389.

“These next-generation SpinGuard® Idler Seals will offer greater protection in applications known to expose bearings to fugitive material prematurely,” says Paul Schmidgall, the chief engineer of Superior’s conveyor components division. “We tested dozens of seal iterations over more than five years of and we think we have some pretty robust options.”

Superior says it now offers four application-specific conveyor idler seals:

  • SpinGuard Wet Seal: Applications experiencing unsatisfactory idler life due to high moisture. Common conditions include wet processing, frequent washdowns and dredging.
  • SpinGuard Dry Seal: Operations that produce dust near crushing or screening equipment.
  • SpinGuard Low Drag Seal: For conveyor owners concerned about horsepower. Eco-friendly idlers designed with low drag seal for overland or long-distance conveying.
  • SpinGuard Titanium™ Seal: For the most extreme conditions including wet and slurry applications.

Each class of seal will be easily recognized by a unique color:

  • Wet Seals are blue
  • Dry are ivory
  • Low Drag are green
  • Titanium Seal is silver

Superior says lead times for these application-specific idler seals can be equal to their day-to-day, industry-leading production response times.

Superior’s New Mine Duty Conveyor Pulley Will Debut at CONEXPO-CON/AGG/2020

Prime Mine Duty Pulley | Superior Industries

Morris, Minn. – Superior Industries, Inc., a U.S. based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, will show a brand new conveyor drum pulley at booth C31389 during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020. It’s one of a dozen new products the company will introduce during the Las Vegas trade show in March.

Known as the Prime™ Mine Duty Pulley, this drum style conveyor pulley is manufactured in diameters from 4” to 30” and face widths of 12” to 78” (x). It’s designed and built with a solid steel end disc, which eliminates welding at the hub of the pulley. Applications for the new pulley include aggregate and mine duty conveyors using fabric belts, which start and stop under full loads frequently.

“Our Prime Mine Duty Pulley has many of the same design characteristics of Mine Duty 2.0 and Super Duty drum pulleys, but its optimized design yields a lower weight,” says Alan Schmidgall, a vice president with Superior. “That means we can offer a more economically-friendly option and include many of the features our customers said they require.”

The Prime Mine Duty Pulley is one of four standard, pre-engineered conveyor pulley models available from Superior. Other designs include CEMA, Mine Duty 2.0 and Super Duty. Superior offers custom-engineered pulleys from its Core Systems® Design team.

Korda is New Distributor of Superior Industries Idlers and Pulleys

Morris, Minn. — Superior Industries Inc., a Brazilian-based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, announces Korda Products and Services as its new distributor for conveyor idlers and pulleys. Korda will stock Superior brand idlers and pulleys at its warehouse in Santiago, Chile.


“Korda has a long history in Chile, with more than 60 years of experience working in the aggregate and mining industry,” says Guilherme Tibo, Superior’s South American sales manager. “Korda has developed a strong network of trusted customers and we’re proud they chose to represent our brand of idlers and pulleys.”

Superior Industries is one of the largest manufacturers of conveyor components in the world. Related products include a full line of standard and custom aggregate and mine duty idlers and pulleys. In 2007, Superior invented the v-shaped wing pulley known as the Chevron® Pulley.
