A lagged pulley is a pulley that has a layer of special material applied to its surface to increase the friction and grip between the pulley and the conveyor belt. This product is widely used in industries like mining, ports, power plants, steel mills, and bulk material handling, offering excellent performance and durability. Zoomry Heavy Industry provides various types of lagged pulleys, including plain rubber, diamond grooved rubber, and ceramic rubber lagging.

■ Application

Lagged pulleys are primarily used in critical parts of conveyor belt systems, including head pulleys, tail pulleys, take-up pulleys, snub pulleys, and bend pulleys. The lagging material increases the friction between the pulley and the belt, preventing slippage, improving system efficiency, and protecting the pulley from wear. Lagged pulleys are used in industries such as:

● Mining Industry

In mining, particularly for transporting materials such as ores and coal, lagged pulleys effectively prevent slippage of the conveyor belt, ensuring stable operation under heavy loads.

● Ports and Terminals

In port and terminal operations, lagged pulleys ensure the stable operation of conveyor belts while reducing the impact of environmental factors such as saltwater and dust, thus improving system reliability.

● Power Industry

Lagged pulleys are commonly used in power plants to convey coal and ore. Their wear resistance and anti-slip properties help improve transportation efficiency and reduce equipment failures.

● Steel Industry

In the steel industry, lagged pulleys are used in high-temperature, heavy-load environments. They feature strong wear resistance and oxidation resistance, which helps prolong the lifespan of equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
