Conveyor Pulleys – Durable & Efficient Material Handling Components

Introduction

Conveyor pulleys are critical components in any conveyor system, responsible for driving, guiding, and supporting conveyor belts to ensure smooth and efficient material handling. They are widely used in industries such as mining, power plants, stone crushers, rice mills, fertilizer plants, biomass handling, and poultry farms.

Also referred to as head pulleys, drive pulleys, tail pulleys, snub pulleys, bend pulleys, take-up pulleys, drum pulleys, or rubber/ceramic lagged pulleys, these components are designed for long-lasting performance, high efficiency, and reliability.


Types of Conveyor Pulleys

1. Head / Drive Pulley

The head pulley is positioned at the discharge end of the conveyor and is responsible for moving the belt and material forward. It is usually powered by a motor and is available in rubber-lagged, ceramic-lagged, or plain drum designs for maximum grip and reduced slippage.

2. Tail Pulley

The tail pulley is located at the opposite end of the conveyor and is primarily used to support and return the belt. Tail pulleys are designed for durability and low maintenance operation.

3. Snub Pulley

Snub pulleys are idler pulleys used to increase the belt wrap angle on drive pulleys, ensuring better traction and efficient power transmission.

4. Bend Pulley

Bend pulleys are used to change the direction of the conveyor belt and are commonly employed in complex conveyor layouts.

5. Take-Up Pulley

Take-up pulleys maintain belt tension and are essential for preventing slippage and maintaining smooth operation over long conveyor distances.

6. Rubber Lagged / Ceramic Lagged Pulley

Lagged pulleys enhance friction between the belt and pulley, reducing slippage and improving performance. Rubber lagging is suitable for general applications, while ceramic lagging is ideal for heavy-duty and abrasive environments like coal handling or mining.
