Product Description
The innovations in the design of the Eradicator® product family combine the best features of a traditional wing pulley with several unique performance enhancing characteristics to create the optimum self-cleaning solution for virtually any environment. The Eradicator’s design benefits include accelerated cleanout, increased component life, enhanced belt tracking and quieter operation.
The Eradicator®
The Eradicator wing pulley combines the best features of a traditional wing pulley with several unique performance enhancing characteristics to create the optimum self-cleaning solution.
The Eradicator®-MAX
The Eradicator-MAX wing pulley incorporates the unmatched cleanout rates of the Eradicator with maximum wear-life and strength. The Eradicator-MAX will outlast all traditional wing tips designs.
The Eradicator® D²® with Rim
The Eradicator D² (Directional Discharge) with Rim incorporates the innovative features of the Eradicator into a design allowing for operation in reversing conveyors of smaller materials. The Eradicator D² also controls the flow of material discharge to one direction only.
The Eradicator® D²® with Tips
The Eradicator D² (Directional Discharge) with Tips incorporates the innovative features of the Eradicator into a design allowing for operation in reversing conveyors of all material sizes. The Eradicator D² also controls the flow of material discharge to one direction only.
The Eradicator® E²® Boot Pulley
The Eradicator E² (Enhanced Elevator) Boot Pulley incorporates the innovative features of the Eradicator into a design allowing for operation in reversing conveyors of smaller materials. The Eradicator E² also controls the flow of material discharge to one direction only.
THE ERADICATOR®
The Eradicator wing pulley’s patented design retains the belt cleaning benefits of a traditional wing while providing continuous belt contact and improved cleanout efficiency. The Eradicator’s unique design provides a cleanout rate up to 40 times faster than traditional wing design. These additional benefits provide longer component life and decreased noise. Traditional wing pulleys feature straight wings which contact the belt intermittently, entrapping and recirculating material rather than displacing it, which can lead to belt damage and pulley failure.
Hybrid Wings Enhance Cleanout Effect
Cleanout Ports Maximize Material Removal*
Patented Design Enhances Belt Tracking
Formed Wings Provide Self Reinforced Design
Continuous Contact Reduces Noise
*Availability of ports dependent on pulley size.

Enhanced Cleanout
The faster a properly sized wing pulley cleans out loose materials, the longer it will last. It’s that simple. Along with the pulley, recirculating materials can also influence the life of the conveyor belt, idlers and bearings. Self-cleaning pulleys with proven cleanout designs work to lengthen the life of your system components by quickly ejecting materials that damage and wear exposed surfaces.
Increased Life
The hybrid design of The Eradicator maximizes both the life of the pulley and the conveyor belt. PCI’s self-reinforced design discourages wing fold over and prevents incidental damage to the pulley. The Eradicator also maximizes belt life by reducing deformation commonly associated with high center point designs.
Decreased Noise
The Eradicator decreases noise by continuously contacting the belt while its straight center maximizes cleanout. Only The Eradicator achieves the optimum balance of noise reduction and cleanout efficiency.
THE ERADICATOR D²® (Directional Discharge)
Eradicator D² with Rim
The Eradicator D² (Directional Discharge) with Diamond Rim incorporates the innovative features of the Eradicator into a design allowing for operation in reversing conveyors of material sizes 3” and smaller. The Eradicator D² also has the unique ability to control the flow of material discharge to one direction only.
ALL OF THE BENEFITS OF THE ERADICATOR, PLUS…
Operation in Both Directions – Reversibility
Single Direction Discharge
Maximum Belt Contact

Eradicator D² with Tips
The Eradicator D² (Directional Discharge) with Circumferential Tips incorporates the innovative features of the Eradicator into a design allowing for operation in reversing conveyors of all material sizes. The Eradicator D² also has the unique ability to control the flow of material discharge to one direction only.

Patent# 10,442,631
Directional Discharge
The Eradicator D2 utilizes the angled wing and cleanout port design of the Eradicator to maximize material removal but unlike the Eradicator, the D2 is designed to operate in reversing/dual-direction applications. Additionally, the Eradicator D2 forces the material in a single direction so that the ejection of material will take place on one side of the conveyor. The Eradicator D2 is the first pulley of its kind to offer these innovative features.
THE ERADICATOR E²® (Enhanced Elevator)
Eradicator E² Boot Pulley
The Eradicator E² (Enhanced Elevator) Boot Pulley incorporates the innovative features of the Eradicator on bucket elevators. The optimized rim design provides constant contact with the belt, which reduces belt jumping and unintended bucket shaking. Eradicator E² angled wings facilitate proper belt cleaning, enables particulate (such as grain) to fall through rather that crush the valuable material, while controlling the flow of material discharge to one direction only.
ALL OF THE BENEFITS OF THE ERADICATOR, PLUS…
Operation in Both Directions – Reversibility
Single Direction Discharge
Maximum Belt Contact without Bulk Material Damage or Loss
Patent# 10,442,631
THE ERADICATOR®-MAX
The Eradicator-MAX
The Eradicator-MAX wing pulley combines the unmatched cleanout rates of the Eradicator with several unique performance enhancing characteristics to create the maximum wear – life and strength solution for all diameter applications.
ALL OF THE BENEFITS OF THE ERADICATOR, PLUS…
Small and Large Diameter Performance
Maximized Pulley Use
Patent# 8,857,606
Maximized Pulley Use
The Eradicator-MAX will outlast all traditional wing tips designs. All wing tips will eventually wear to the point where they increase the risk of damage to belts and belt splices. As wing tips wear past the halfway point of the original wing tip material thickness, the pulley is operating on borrowed time. The thinning material develops sharp or thinning edges which is a leading cause of belt and belt splice damage. The Eradicator-MAX solid wing design allows for the wing to be worn without creating sharp edges.
As long as take-up travel can accommodate the change in pulley diameter, the Eradicator-MAX can be worn down to the core.
The Ice-Eradicator®
PCI’s patented Ice-Eradicator® is the world’s first proven solution to temper the costly effects of frozen conveyor belts. When installed in the head position, a drum style Ice-Eradicator will de-ice and soften the conveyor belt encouraging startup in freezing conditions. PCI’s innovative technology can also be adapted to any Eradicator or Deflector® wing pulley to discourage problems related to ice buildup in non-drive positions.
