Arrowhead Ceramic Conveyor Pulley Lagging

• Increase Productivity - by delivering increased traction between the conveyor belt and pulley, allowing for lower belt tension.
• Improved Belt Tracking - due to the Arrowhead patterns self-cleaning ability, reducing material build-up and eliminating misalignment.

Arrowhead Drive & Non-Drive Rubber Conveyor Pulley Lagging

• MSHA Approved - meets all requirements for flame resistant solid products taken into mines. Marking No. MSHA IC-174/2
• Superior Wear - ability in abrasive or highly wet or dry applications as seen in below and above ground mining.

Conveyor Pulley Lagging Services

ASGCO's Pulley Lagging can be done in place, on site, at your local distributor or at the pulley manufacturer. Pulley lagging increases the traction between the belt and the pulley, which in turn reduces load and wear on the drive, belt, pulleys, bearings and take-up. For efficient and economical conveyor operation, proper pulley lagging is integral detail - one that delivers the following key benefits:

• Extends the life of key conveyor components.
• Reduces wear from abrasive materials.
• Prevents belt slippage by increasing the coefficient of friction between the conveyor belt and the pulley.
• Creates a self-cleaning action on the pulley surface and prevents the buildup of transported bulk material, water, snow or ice.

Most often, lagging is attached to the pulley via vulcanizing (preferred in heavy-duty applications). Or, replaceable lagging can be used. The lagging strips are bolted or welded to the face of the pulley and can be easily replaced in the field.

Ceramic pulley lagging is constructed from hundreds of individual ceramic tiles molded into a durable rubber backing. In certain applications, ceramic lagging can significantly increase drive traction.

Pulley Lagging Specification Tips:

• Plain steel drum pulleys (with no lagging) are best in dry, clean environments where traction is not critical, and when no foreign material is present on the return belt.


• Drum pulleys with plain rubber lagging are typically used in snub applications where traction is not critical.


• Drive pulleys that operate in wet or damp conditions are commonly grooved and are available in a smooth, herringbone or diamond design.


• Ceramic lagged pulleys are used in applications with abrasive material on the return side of conveyor belt.
