What Is a Pulley Drum Conveyor?
A pulley drum conveyor is a critical part of a belt conveyor system that functions to drive, redirect, or control the tension of the conveyor belt. Typically constructed from high-quality steel, the pulley surface may be left bare or covered with rubber or ceramic materials to enhance grip and wear resistance, depending on the application.
Types of Pulley Drum Conveyors Offered by CV Bakti
We offer a complete range of pulley types to meet specific system requirements:
• Rubber Lagged Tail Pulley
Positioned at the rear end of the conveyor system, this pulley is covered with rubber to increase traction and reduce belt slippage—ideal for medium-duty environments or humid conditions.
• Bare Drive Pulley
The main head pulley without any lagging. Best suited for light-duty applications in dry conditions where belt grip is not a major concern.
• Bare Tail Pulley
Used at the tail end of the system without additional surface coating. A cost-effective option for light conveyors with minimal wear.
• Rubber Lagged Head Pulley
Installed at the front as the main drive pulley. Rubber lagging improves friction and helps prevent belt slippage during operation.
• Ceramic Lagged Head Pulley
Engineered for heavy-duty and abrasive environments, ceramic lagging provides maximum grip and resistance to wear. Commonly used in mining and high-load conveyor systems.
• Ceramic Lagged Tail Pulley
Placed at the return end of the conveyor, this type offers increased durability and grip, especially when handling abrasive or high-speed materials.
• Custom Pulley Drum for Belt Conveyor
We also manufacture pulley drums tailored to your system's layout and load requirements, whether for head, tail, bend, snub, or take-up positions.
