Bearings & Components for Chemical Conveyors & Material Handling Equipment
Conveyors and material handling systems are used throughout chemical processing and manufacturing facilities to move raw materials, ingredients, containers and finished products between different stages of production.
Bearings, bearing housings, belts, chains, sprockets and seals support movement and power transmission across conveyors, feeders and associated handling equipment.
Operating conditions can vary depending on the materials being handled and the surrounding environment. Consider load, speed, contamination, temperature and chemical exposure when identifying replacement components.
Components Used in Chemical Conveyors & Material Handling Equipment
Bearing Housings & Inserts
Bearing housings and inserts provide mounted support for rotating shafts across conveyors and material handling equipment.
Different housing styles, insert configurations, and sealing arrangements are available depending on shaft size, load, mounting requirements and operating conditions.
Explore our range of bearing housings and inserts.
Conveyor Bearings
Bearings support rollers, shafts and other rotating components throughout conveyor and material handling systems.
Different bearing designs are available depending on load, speed, dimensions and the requirements of the individual equipment.
Explore our range of bearings.
Belts & Pulleys
Belts and pulleys transfer mechanical power across conveyors, drives and associated material handling machinery.
Different belt profiles, materials and pulley configurations are available depending on the drive arrangement, load and operating requirements.
Explore our range of belts and pulleys.
Chains & Sprockets
Chains and sprockets provide positive power transmission across conveyors and other driven machinery.
Consider correct pitch, chain size, sprocket dimensions and alignment when identifying replacement components.
Explore our range of chains and sprockets.
Seals & O-Rings
Seals and O-rings help retain lubricants while protecting bearings, shafts and other mechanical components against contamination.
Consider where seals may be exposed to chemicals or process materials; consider material compatibility alongside dimensions and operating conditions.
Explore our range of seals and O-rings.
Lubricants & Maintenance Products
Correct lubrication reduces friction and wear across bearings, chains and other moving components within conveyor systems.
Lubricants and maintenance products are available for different loads, speeds, temperatures and operating environments.
Always follow the equipment and component manufacturer's recommendations when selecting and applying lubricants.

Maintaining Conveyors & Material Handling Equipment
Conveyor and material handling systems can operate for extended periods; regular inspection is important to identify wear before it affects surrounding equipment.
During routine maintenance, inspect bearings and housings for excessive play, unusual noise, overheating or damage. Check Belts for wear, deterioration and alignment; inspect chains and sprockets for wear, tension and lubrication.
Check seals for deterioration or leakage. Where components are exposed to chemicals or process materials, confirm that replacement materials are suitable for the substances and operating conditions involved.
Always follow the relevant equipment manufacturer's inspection, maintenance, installation and safety procedures.
