Product Description
Also known as self-cleaning pulleys, wing pulleys are primarily used on the tail end of bulk handling systems where loose materials have a tendency to reside on the underside of the conveyor belt, causing damage to one or both components. Wing pulleys incorporate a non-continuous contact surface comprised of individual wings or fins. This construction results in the creation of open voids that allow loose material to fall away from the contact surface. In applications where continuous contact is desired, spiral wing pulleys can be utilized. The difference between wing pulley configurations is component thickness and the use of supplemental reinforcing agents. The thicker the components used, the greater the series name (heavy, mine, etc.). Furthermore, to brace the components under the heavier loads, wing pulleys utilize stiffening agents such as gussets and reinforcing rings between wing members. Because diameter plays a role in pulley capacity, not all configurations are available in all diameters.
Product Offering
The Dominator Heavy Duty Wing Pulley
The patented design of the Dominator 8-12” diameter Heavy Duty (HD) Wing Pulley maximizes the material cleanout rate by incorporating the proven design features of The Eradicator® Wing. Self-gusseted angled wings provide reinforcement to prevent wing fold over better than a non-gusseted design.
For bulk handling applications where material removal is desired and moderate to heavy impact or extreme loading is likely. Available in four hub styles and features double wing supports to reinforce the tips to prevent wing fold over.
Diameters Available: 8″ thru 12″
HUB TYPES:
Keyed Hubs with Setscrews
Welded Compression Hubs with Bushings
Keyless Locking Devices
Dead Shaft Assembly
Patent# 8,857,606
The Deflector® Wing Pulley
The Deflector 14-52” diameter Heavy Duty (HD) Wing Pulley increases the performance of a traditional wing pulley with the addition of PCI’s proven and patented ports coupled with angled deflectors to continuously direct material to the outer edges of the pulley. The combination of these features enables the Deflector to cleanout 5 times faster than a traditional wing pulley.
For bulk handling applications where material removal is desired and moderate to heavy impact or extreme loading is likely. Available in four hub styles and features gussets to reinforce the wing members.
Diameters Available: 14″ thru 52″
HUB TYPES:
Keyed Hubs with Setscrews
Welded Compression Hubs with Bushings
Keyless Locking Devices
Dead Shaft Assembly

How Does is Work?
Traditional wing pulleys feature straight wings that contact the belt intermittently, entrapping and recirculating material rather than displacing it, often leading to belt damage and pulley failure. The Deflector wing pulley utilizes the same straight wing members as a traditional wing pulley but drastically improves cleanout efficiency from its cleanout ports and patent pending deflectors. The accelerated cleanout produced by the deflectors and ports will provide longer component life for the pulley and the belt.
Because the Deflector wing pulley improves on the performance of a traditional wing pulley, any bulk material application where a traditional wing pulley is being used will benefit from the Deflector. However, if maximum cleanout efficiency is desired, no other conveyor pulley will perform as well as the Eradicator.
Mine Duty Wing Pulleys
Mine Duty wings are designed for more demanding bulk handling applications where material removal is desired and extreme loading is highly likely. Available in three hub styles and feature gussets and reinforcing rings to stabilize wing members.
Diameters Available: 12″ thru 52″
HUB TYPES:
Welded Compression Hubs with Bushings
Keyless Locking Devices
Dead Shaft Assembly
Standard Duty Wing Pulleys
Standard Duty wings are designed for light to medium duty bulk handling applications where material removal is desired but impact or extreme loading is unlikely. Available in several hub styles and utilize flat tips to maximize contact and rigidity.
Diameters Available: 6″ thru 12″
HUB TYPES:
Plain Bore
Welded Through Shaft
Keyed Hubs with Setscrews
Welded Compression Hubs with Bushings
Keyless Locking Devices
Dead Shaft Assembly
Squirrel Cage
Squirrel cage pulleys are comprised of solid steel round bars welded to a series of disks which serve as the pulleys core. The open body construction provides for added clean-out over round bar or standard wing pulley designs.
Round / Beater Bar
Solid core pulleys offer self-cleaning benefits in the smallest of pulley diameters. Wing members can be designed using profiles including fins with flat tips, round bar or custom profiles.
7-Shaped
7-Shaped wing pulleys feature steel wing members formed to a bent shape resembling the number seven. The profile of the wing member reduces belt wear while providing an economical construction for light duty applications.
Solid Core
Solid core pulleys offer self-cleaning benefits in the smallest of pulley diameters. Wing members can be designed using profiles including fins with flat tips, round bar or custom profiles.

The Eradicator®
The Eradicator wing pulley retains the belt cleaning benefits of a traditional wing while providing continuous belt contact and improved cleanout efficiency.
The Eradicator®-MAX
The Eradicator-MAX wing pulley combines the unmatched cleanout rates of the Eradicator with maximum wear- life and strength at all diameters.
The Ice-Eradicator®
PCI’s Ice-Eradicator is the world’s first proven solution to temper the costly effects of frozen conveyor belts. The Ice-Eradicator wing pulley’s elevated temperature prevents snow and ice build-up between the wings during continuous operation or during shutdown. PCI’s innovative technology can also be adapted to an Eradicator drum pulley.
