CAST ALLOY STEEL BARRELS

Eliminate barrel failures and increase service life
Have “plow” face integrally cast into barrel for better scraping action

HEAT TREATED PINS to ESCO SPECIFICATIONS

38 Rockwell C average hardness
Properly matched to work with barrel hardness
No-step between sidebar-pin hole and barrel = full 360 degree contact
Positive riveted construction for maximum strength

POTENTIAL “BENEFITS” OF REVERSE BARREL DESIGN

Less barrel rotation against the sprocket teeth = longer life for both
Improved trough cleaning
Reduction in drag load = less energy consumed

OPTIONS

Available in 10 FT. long strands
Can be supplied with or without wing attachments
