Cutting edge equipment for your operation Photo: PPI PPI (Precision Pulley & Idler) is now a Vayeron Global Premium Partner, with PPI describing Vayeron as rapidly growing the global distribution of the Smart-Idler product line. Through the partnership, customers in the U.S., Canada and Latin American countries will have access to PPI conveyor components powered by Vayeron Smart-Idler technology. According to PPI, idlers represent a significant maintenance challenge for most bulk materials handling conveyor systems, as the large quantity of idlers contained within a system means inspection and replacement routines are reliant on a reactive maintenance program. End users regularly experience significant operational losses and flow-on damage to their conveyor belts due to unmitigated conveyor roller failure, PPI adds.
