Re: PVC Roller Dilemma
We're using 3 and 6 inch pvc pipe rollers. The 6 inch has wooden plugs with the adapters driven by the keyang window motors. It woorks fine. On the 3 inch we use pressure test plugs and replace the 3/8 inch bolts with threaded rod as an axle. One of the Gates pulleys is then attached to the 3/8 axle and driven by a Globe motor using another pulley and belt. We're using this roller for ball pickup and it's working great.
