WILMINGTON, N.C. (July 28, 2003) – Interroll announces that after seven years in the field, thousands of its Taperhex Gold rollers are still functioning to full capacity, proving their performance reliability to customers. In 1996 Interroll Corporation introduced the Taperhex Gold rollers with a 10-year warranty. Taperhex’s spring-loaded head design allows the tapered hexagonal shaft to fit snuggly into side frame mounting holes, regardless of size or condition, reducing wear and maintenance.
“The revolutionary design of the Taperhex Gold rollers will last five to ten times longer than standard rollers, and decrease down time, labor costs, and maintenance costs so that you can concentrate on running your operation as efficiently as possible,” said Interroll Conveyor Components Product Manager, Kim Hagan.Through initial investment Taperhex Gold rollers lower maintenance and labor costs over time. Standard, non-precision rollers installed seven years ago would be replaced two to three more times by now. Interroll customers will have average savings of 35% over ten years due to the superior design of the chrome alloy steel precision bearings and high-quality steel for extended life and superior performance of the Taperhex Gold shaft design.
The shaft offers long-term performance and reliability by providing a tight, self-adjusting fit that virtually eliminates movement and wear in the frame and results in significant noise-reduction. Taperhex rollers are ideal for many material handling applications, including package handling, assembly, warehousing and distribution. Taperhex are offered in standard diameters or 1.90² and 2.50².
Lengths are available up to 88.00² with varying load capacities. For more information about Interroll’s Taperhex Gold rollers call 1-800-830-9680, or fax 800-830-9679 or visit www.interroll.us .
