As a reliable China-based manufacturer and supplier, we specialize in producing high performance polyurethane pulleys or called rollers designed specifically for belt conveyors and material handling systems. Using advanced custom cast polyurethane technology, our products deliver exceptional wear resistance, superior load-bearing capacity, and consistent performance in high-traffic environments. Each pulley and roller is precision-engineered to exact specifications, ensuring smooth belt tracking, reduced noise levels, and minimal maintenance requirements for airport operators and logistics facilities.
Our polyurethane conveyor rollers are extensively used in airport baggage handling systems, parcel sorting facilities, logistics distribution centers, warehouse automation lines, and e-commerce fulfillment operations. Whether for tight-radius curve sections, incline conveyors, or high-speed sorting lines, our urethane pulleys provide reliable traction, excellent shock absorption, and resistance to oils and chemicals. They are the ideal replacement for worn rubber or plastic components, ensuring uninterrupted operations and enhanced system efficiency.

Extreme Environment-Resistant Polyurethane Pulleys for Conveyors
Our custom cast polyurethane pulleys thrive in harsh conditions。 They can withstand -40℃ cold-chain freight zones and 120℃ airport baggage holds. Engineered with premium urethane, they resist thermal shock and maintain stable traction during rapid temperature shifts.
Unlike brittle rubber alternatives, these pulleys avoid cracking or softening in extremes. As a China manufacturer, we tailor each design to endure freezing cargo, sweltering storage, or outdoor UV exposure.
Why are polyurethane pulleys better than rubber for baggage conveyors?
Polyurethane offers significantly higher abrasion resistance, better load-bearing capacity, and superior resistance to oils and chemicals. This results in a much longer service life and reduced maintenance costs compared to traditional rubber rollers.
Can polyurethane pulleys handle tight-radius curves?
Absolutely. Our urethane pulleys are specifically designed for tight-radius curve sections in baggage handling systems. They provide excellent grip and tracking stability, ensuring smooth belt operation even on sharp turns.
Are your pulleys compatible with existing conveyor systems?
Yes. We manufacture custom cast pulleys to match your exact specifications, including diameter, bore size, width, and bearing type, ensuring seamless integration with your current baggage handling equipment.
How long do polyurethane conveyor rollers typically last?
Depending on the application and load conditions, our polyurethane rollers can last 5-10 times longer than rubber alternatives, often providing several years of maintenance-free service in high-traffic baggage systems.
Do you offer anti-static polyurethane pulleys?
Yes. We can manufacture anti-static (ESD-safe) polyurethane pulleys for applications where static discharge could damage sensitive electronics or create safety hazards in certain environments.
Do polyurethane rollers make noise during operation?
No. One of the key advantages of polyurethane is its ability to dampen vibration and reduce operational noise, creating a quieter environment in airports and distribution centers compared to metal or hard plastic rollers.
