WearAlert™ Visual Wear Technology

UltraRoll™ WearAlert™ rollers feature a dual-layer HDPE shell that changes colour as the roller wears, providing a clear visual indication for proactive maintenance and replacement planning.

Lightweight Composite Performance

Up to 60% lighter than conventional steel rollers, reducing rotating mass and helping lower conveyor system power requirements.

Built for Harsh Environments

Sealed-for-life bearings and stationary rock shields protect the rollers from debris, dust, and rock entrapment in demanding mining and bulk materials handling applications.

Description

Smart Roller Technology for Predictive Conveyor Maintenance

SEC Business Group UltraRoll™ WearAlert™ Rollers represent the next generation of conveyor roller technology, designed to improve maintenance visibility and operational efficiency. These lightweight composite rollers provide a real-time visual indication of roller wear, enabling maintenance teams to identify worn rollers early
and plan replacements before failures occur.

WearAlert™ Visual Wear Indicator

The WearAlert™ design features a distinctive dual-layer shell construction consisting of a green virgin HDPE outer layer and a red glass-filled HDPE (GFHDPE) inner layer.

As the outer layer gradually wears during operation, the inner red layer becomes visible, providing a clear visual cue that the roller has reached its wear limit. This simple yet effective system allows operators to implement proactive maintenance strategies and significantly reduce unexpected downtime.

Lightweight Composite Construction

UltraRoll™ WearAlert™ rollers are engineered with sealed-for-life bearings and stationary full rock shields, protecting the rollers from damage caused by entrapped rocks and debris.

The composite construction makes these rollers up to 60% lighter than conventional steel rollers, reducing rotating mass and lowering the power required to operate conveyor systems.

Designed for Demanding Applications

WearAlert™ rollers are suitable for heavy-duty, high-speed, corrosive, and abrasive applications. They perform reliably across a wide range of materials handling environments, from small quarry operations through to large-scale mining installations handling iron ore, hard rock, and coal.

Features & Benefits

  • Virgin HDPE outer layer provides more than twice the wear life compared to standard GFHDPE rollers (based on ISO 4649 abrasion testing).
  • Red GFHDPE inner layer provides a clear visual indication of roller wear.
  • Enables predictive maintenance and proactive roller replacement.
  • Operational life up to five times longer than conventional steel rollers.
  • Up to 60% lighter than steel rollers, reducing conveyor load.
  • Reduced rotating mass can deliver up to 10% reduction in conveyor power requirements.
  • Equipped with sealed-for-life bearings for minimal maintenance.
  • Stationary full rock shield protects rollers from rock entrapment and damage.
  • Suitable for heavy-duty, high-speed, corrosive, and abrasive applications.
