CRE Single

The CRE Single combines Broekema’s patented cast rod-end design with robust materials to deliver a reliable sieving solution for conveyor belts. Engineered to sit in the neutral line of the belt, the CRE Single ensures consistent rod spacing and smooth product passage, reducing the risk of product becoming trapped and improving overall belt life.

The brackets may contain both steel and lightweight material.

Longer belt life: A larger pitch with fewer rivets delivers smoother running and reduced stress, extending belt longevity compared with welded twinrod systems.

Fast, local repairs: Individual CRE rods can be replaced quickly, cutting maintenance downtime and simplifying service routines.

No bushing wear: The CRE design removes the need for bushings, eliminating the common wear and replacement cycle associated with bushing-mounted rods.

Reduced component wear: Narrow rod ends are compatible with double‑cam traction belts, lowering wear on support rollers and rods while preserving belt performance.

Broekema’s CRE cast rod-end is a patented, cast bracket solution available in single, dual and triple rod configurations, engineered to sit in the neutral line of sieving conveyor belts and guarantee consistent rod spacing with very small tolerances. The open cast design increases sieving area compared with welded twinbands and permits a larger pitch with fewer rivets, which smooths belt operation and substantially extends belt life. CRE rods eliminate the need for bushings (removing associated wear and replacements), enable quick replacement of individual rods for fast field repairs, reduce wear on support rollers and rods by using narrow ends compatible with double‑cam traction belts, and have been proven in demanding applications such as sugarcane harvesting as well as standard potato harvesting, washing and sorting operations.
