Webb Wheel Aftermarket releases new Webb Vortex Unlimited brake drum

April 17, 2014

Webb Wheel Aftermarket has released a new Webb Vortex Unlimited brake drum featuring patent-pending cool running technology (CRT) vents. The vents increase air flow to produce 15% cooler operating temperatures for better braking performance and adding 25% to brake drum life, the company said.

The patented design features external cooling ribs that conduct heat away from brakes and CRT vents for superior heat transfer efficiency.

Vortex Unlimited brake drums also include patent-pending wear indicators that further reduce costs by taking the guess work out of repairs, saving labor time and money, and maximizing brake drum life.
