RUBBER-LAGGED CONVEYOR PULLEY

The rubber-lagged pulley enhances traction between the conveyor belt and pulley surface, reducing belt slippage and improving power transmission efficiency. High-quality rubber lagging is hot-vulcanized to the pulley surface — delivering a 5-10 year wear layer and extending conveyor belt life significantly compared with bare steel pulleys.

Rubber-lagged pulleys serve as drive pulleys, bend pulleys, or tail pulleys in belt conveyor systems. Plain rubber lagging provides baseline friction improvement; grooved (herringbone) lagging optimizes drainage in wet environments and delivers additional grip. Compared to bare steel, rubber lagging increases friction by 30-50% — eliminating belt slippage in demanding mining, port, and bulk handling applications.
