The head section is designed and ruggedly constructed to withstand the torque of drive components, maintain alignment and to aid in maintenance. We fabricate the lower portion from 10 GA steel and the hood from 12 GA steel with a pressure relief door on the top of the leg as a standard feature. We provide standard A.R. steel liners and offer additional optional liners to extend service life (see options page). The head pulley is crowned, lagged and mounted on the head shaft with tapered bushings to eliminate side movement. We select bearings to handle severe service with roller bearings standard on larger sizes and provide jack-bolts under the head shaft bearings on all models to allow ease in field shimming for proper belt tracking.
We also include a weather-tight inspection door in the discharge section of the hood and one below the pulley to allow inspection of the pulley lagging.
