Continental Conveyor is a top source of various conveyor components

Belt conveyor idlers are among the component that Continental Conveyor carries.

The ultimate one-stop shop for conveyors and related products: that is what makes Continental Conveyor a continuing success after more than half a century of business. It is not just conveyors that the company manufactures, but also accessories and parts. This is highly convenient for customers who need to replace certain parts, rather than invest in whole new conveyor systems. Continental is a top source of individual conveyor components – ranging from belt conveyor idlers to specialty rubber products and more.

Two lines of idlers

Continental Conveyor produces and sells three primary categories of conveyor components. The first kind, belt conveyor idlers, is available in two different models, Series 25000 and Series 30000. Both models are designed for continuous operation, high capacities, and heavy abrasive materials. Series 30000 idlers have been fitted with heavy concentric tubing, combination contact and labyrinth seals, oversize shafts, heavy stamped end discs, deep-grooved ball bearings, stamped bearings, and seal retainers. All of them have rolls with diameters of five or six inches and belt widths of up to five feet. Examples include flat-belt-carrying rubber-cushion, training, picking-roll, and troughing idlers.

The second category is belt conveyor pulleys. Continental Conveyor designs all of its pulleys to comply with standard specifications. Among the variations available: lagged wing pulleys, for greater tractive capacity or excessive wear caused by buildup of material; spiral drum pulleys, which reduce belt wear and misalignment; and spiral wing pulleys, which have self-cleaning features. These pulleys can be customized by altering specifications according to the customer’s individual needs.

The third main type of conveyor components available is conveyor covers. These units reduce damage to idlers and belts, prevent material lose, and increase employee safety by protecting materials and other components. Continental conveyors have specialized mounting brackets, extended sides to enclose return belt runs, symmetrical design for easy and fast installation, and wide support bands to prevent gaps.

In addition to these items, Continental supplies impact cassettes and specialty rubber products. The company’s broad, diverse lineup of components can cover any conveyor needs a customer may have, whether large or small.
