Molded end cap rollers (MEC)

The MEC roller construction and manufacture contains several unique features that produce significant improvements over traditional rollers. The MEC roller is ideally suited for applications requiring a corrosion resistant roller that has low noise characteristics. The MEC provides a low noise roller without the need for machining or dynamically balancing. Sandvik’s high quality conveyor tube ensures dimensional accuracy, especially in the areas of wall thickness, roundness (TIR) and straightness. The non metallic end cap also dampens vibration which further reduces the roller noise.

Features and values

• Low noise – the MEC delivers a roller that is low noise with reduced vibration.
• Light weight – when fitted with aluminium tubing the risks associated with manual handling are reduced.
• Manuafactured tough – the end cap has exceptional mechanical and fatigue life characteristics. UV and ozone resistant to withstand years of service in the harshest of environments.
• Corrosion and abrasive resistant – non metallic end cap is resistant to corrosion and weathering.
• The shell to end cap transition provides additional protection for the belting.
• Efficient Sandvik sealing provides years of trouble free operation with a low roller drag.
