Conveyor Components

Bryant has long been closely associated with the conveyor industry as a manufacturer of conveyor components including Telescoper® take-ups, heavy and light duty rollers, machined pulleys and formed tapered rollers and pulleys for both unit and bulk materials.

In expanding and enhancing our conveyor component product lines we have developed an array of manufacturing technologies. We invite potential clients in other industries to leverage our design and production expertise for your component and outsourcing needs.

Fabricating: Press work, plasma cutting, welding of carbon, aluminum and stainless steel, production sawing and de-burring of carbon, stainless, aluminum and thermoplastic tubing and pipe

Assembly: Bryant currently offers a wide spectrum of mechanical and hydraulic assembly capabilities. In the course of our work in the conveyor industry we have developed considerable expertise in mating precision steel components using welding, induction heating and extreme cold, mating most grades of thermoplastics, and the assembly and testing of hydraulic power systems. Through a combination of in-house labor and associations with handicapped labor both on and offsite, we are able to offer cost effective, high quality solutions to both low volume specialized work and repetitive assembly of high volume components.

AirForm® Tube Reduction Technology: Unlike rotary swaging, mandrel spinning and hydro-forming, AirForm requires no hard tools, no mandrels or dies and no part or geometry specific tooling, offering the designer extraordinary latitude in formed tube design. Free from costly tooling burdens and the limitations of swage dies and interior spin mandrels, designers can produce shapes not possible with competing methods, and develop straight tapers of new taper angles without the expense and lead time of tooling charges.

Since there is no mandrel to extract from a finished part and the part is not passed through a straight tapered die, parts with concave profiles, trapezoidal crowns, multiple crowns on the same parts, and parts with compound tapers or back-to-back reverse tapers can be readily formed. AirForm does as the name implies – parts to be formed are suspended by their ends and the shape is then free formed into the tube while the tube is suspended in air.

We can produce in low carbon, stainless steel and aluminum. We currently produce in diameters from 1.5 to 10” and in wall thicknesses to .156”

Products produced – tapered rollers and pulleys for conveyor applications, point, trapezoidal and arc crowned conveyor pulleys, precision class end rolls for treadmills, decorative tubular steel table legs, center posts for office chairs, specialty aluminum baseball bats, race car struts, decorative ash trays and stands.

CNC Machining: Bryant has developed considerable expertise and capabilities in both vertical and horizontal CNC machining. Our equipment is of the latest technologies, offering the highest levels of precision, programming flexibility, repeatable quality and surface finishes.

Lathes: Slant and flat bed lathes, bar feed capabilities for educed labor costs, live tooling which permits milling and drilling operations with secondary machining and set-ups – diameters up to 14” with face widths to 60” – sub .001” TIR capabilities with shaft tolerances down to .0006” – finishes to 16 RMS.

Vertical machining centers: We have a variety of single and dual station CNC machining centers. Our dual station centers allow gang-fixturing of higher volume parts or the simultaneous run and load of more complex parts.

All of our CNC equipment is augmented by a number of late model manual machines.

Materials: We have experience in working with low carbon steels, specialty alloy high-strength steels, both 300 and 400 stainless steels, aluminum and various grades of thermoplastics.

Products Produced - Conveyor Pulleys – precision grade (.005” - .020”) TIR and ultra high precision (.001” - .004”) TIR - high precision rolls – print rolls, web feed rolls, high end, precision class tread-mill rolls. We work with all grades of carbon steel, stainless and aluminum. Rollers can be supplied plain or with our proprietary Durathane lagging, a cost effective alternative to rubber coatings that offers far greater durability. This urethane coating is available in 70 and 85 durometer.
