  • For years, Sandusky has been making the best Stainless Steel Suction Roll Shells on the planet. The superior metallurgy of our patented Alloy 86 has served the industry exceptionally well for over twenty years, with more than 1200 shells manufactured and installed since its introduction in 1984 with no known failures of an Alloy 86 Suction Roll Shell attributable to design, material or workmanship.

    To celebrate this long and unparalleled history, and to assist our dedicated customers at a time when reliability and performance are at a premium in the industry, Sandusky is introducing a new product, our “Alloy 86 LTG” (patent pending). Essentially, a “lifetime guarantee”, Alloy 86 LTG carries an unprecedented “twenty-year, full replacement guarantee”. This is available for all Alloy 86 Suction Roll Shells designed and manufactured by Sandusky, either as part of a complete Suction Roll assembly, or as a replacement shell.

    Alloy 86 LTG is the result of years of continuous improvement of our design, metallurgy and heat-treating, as well as our centrifugal casting, machining and drilling methods. Together, these technical innovations have helped all Sandusky products to gain worldwide recognition for quality and on time delivery, at competitive prices.
