Ceramic Pulley Lagging – Definitive Guide
The ceramic pulley lagging has a longer service life due to its durability and reduced lagging wear. The amount of ceramic coverage on the surface of the backplane can be customized according to the application. The amount of ceramic cover can also increase or decrease the level of friction and grip.
What is it?
The design of ceramic pulley lagging is suitable for conveyor belt drive pulleys running under extreme conditions. It is suitable for wet and dirty conditions and high belt tension applications. It can also be used in environments with dust, icing, or steep slopes
It is a high-quality pulley lagging material; ceramic tiles are molded into rubber compounds. This allows excellent traction, eliminates slippage, and provides excellent wear resistance. and it is especially suitable for the problems of slippage and excessive wear, which makes ordinary rubber pulleys ineffective. It is widely used in driving pulleys, buffer wheels, curved wheels, and tail wheels.
Available Types
Generally, ceramic pulley lagging can be divided into two common types: dimple and plain ceramic tile surfaces. These two types of lagging sheet significantly increase friction and grip and can reduce belt slippage.
The dimple lagging is usually lagged in the drive pulley because it increases friction and grip to assist in driving the conveyor belt. Non-driven pulleys can use smooth ceramic; however, this is not common.
A plain lagging sheet is often used for non-driven pulleys because the required friction is significantly reduced, and unnecessary friction can cause additional belt wear. The use dimple ceramic pulley lagging on non-driven pulleys is likely to cause scratches and wear on the belt when unnecessary friction and slippage occur.
Besides, it is available for the following types according to the different ceramic tile coverage:
45% Ceramic Tiles Coverage.
It is the common type for general purposes. It provides the solution when conventional rubber fails to correct belt slippage and wear problems. It is the popular and widely used type.
59% Ceramic Tiles Coverage
Anti-Slipping Purpose. It features high friction and is suitable for drums with slippage and excessive wear&tear problems, which make common rubber Beltcare ineffective.
100% Ceramic Tiles Coverage
It features superior long service life and is mainly used on a non-drive pulley due to the smooth & solid ceramic surface
15% Ceramic Tiles Coverage
Economic Purpose. It is cheap and mainly used on the head drums as well as bend or tail drums.
Features and Benefits
The pulley lagging has a longer service life due to its durability and reduced lagging wear. In general, our lagging sheet service life can be up to 10 years, and its wear resistance is 8-10 times that of common rubber pulley lagging sheets.
Reduced Belt Slippage
High wear-resistant and 45% coverage ceramic surface, 95% AL2O3 content, with excellent design, our ceramic pulley lagging obviously increases the friction between the conveyor belt and the drum.
Since ceramic tiles’ excellent water conduction performance ensures maximum drainage and mud discharge, it is especially suitable for wet, muddy working conditions, reduces conveyor belt wear and tear, improve belt conveyor deviation
Improve the friction between the belt and roller
The lagging sheet has high wear resistance and more coverage increased the friction between rollers and belts, reducing the belt tension to extend service life, so which saves operating costs.
Non-Shedding Ceramic Pieces
With advanced equipment and technology, and quality ceramic tile & rubber compound materials, the adhesion between our ceramic tile and rubber is greater than 10kgf/mm2, so the ceramic tiles don’t fall off.
CN Layer doesn’t need to polish
As the authentic CN Layer (Bonding Layer), the Pulley Lagging doesn’t need to be sanded before use.
It can be directly bonded to the metal with cold adhesive
Conclusion
Ceramic Pulley Lagging is a premium conveyor pulley lagging where the ceramic tiles are molded into a rubber compound. This makes for excellent traction, eliminates slippage, and offers excellent abrasion resistance. It is especially suited for drums with slippage and excessive wear & tear problems, which make normal rubber pulley lagging ineffective. It is widely used in drive pulleys and can also be used on snub, bend, and tail pulleys.
Using model 95 ceramic tiles, the lagging sheet’s abrasion resistance can be extended further, and it ensures the existing or new pulleys’ long life. As the ceramic cover area decides lagging slip resistance, our popular type of ceramic tile coverage reaches 45%. It provides higher belt traction & stops belt slippage even under wet & muddy conditions. And for special purposes, ceramic tile coverage of 59%, 100%, 15% are also available
We choose excellent tile bonding chemistry to eliminate ceramic tile loss and also use the premium rubber compound to ensure ceramic tiles have maximum flexibility and support. The design provides more grip than the rubber pulley lagging. Customized pulley lagging strips are also provided on varying pulley diameters to reduce waste and installation time.
