Boot Section

Heavy 7 or 10 GA bolted steel construction boot provides a solid base with heavier gauges available (model and application determines material gauge). We include many standard features to insure continued ease in operation and maintenance. Proper belt tension is easily maintained with plated take-up screws and solid brass take-up nuts. Standard crowned boot pulleys are available in either drum or wing style. Cut-outs are located on both up and down sides with a boot pocket installed on the up side and bolted cover plate on the downs sides as standard. Clean-out doors on both ends of the boots are also standard features.

Gravity take-up and self-cleaning boots can be supplied at additional cost (see options page 58). We will also drill and tap boot shafts for speed monitors on request.

Most materials should be fed into the up side. Light and bulky materials give better cup fill when fed on the down side. Our up side inlet location insures that material enters the cups at or above the pulley centerline.
