Maintenance Supervisors Realize "Silence<br />
is Golden" with TAPERHEX(R)<br />
GOLD. TAPERHEX® GOLD Precision<br />
Bearing Conveyor Rollers, available<br />
from INTERROLL Corporation,<br />
Wilmington, NC, are said to show both<br />
maintenance supervisors and conveyor<br />
system designers that "Silence is<br />
Golden," and that their conveyor rollers<br />
will provide cost-effective, uninterrupted<br />
performance. The rollers carry a full<br />
ten-year service lift guarantee - at no extra<br />
cost. With the triple-the-service-live<br />
guarantee, major benefits are possible<br />
when retrofiting with TAPERHEX<br />
GOLD Rollers. @Body Text=The key to<br />
the performance of the roller is said to be<br />
their patented spring-loaded tapered<br />
shaft ends that "lock" into the conveyor<br />
frame mounting holes. The locked shafts<br />
eliminate problematical roller "rattling,"<br />
the root cause of both roller shaft and side<br />
frame wear.<br />
