Douglas - Douglas Truck Tire Tuff Conveyor Pulley Lagging
Douglas Truck Tire Tuff Conveyor Pulley Lagging significantly enhances traction and extends the lifespan of pulleys compared to non-lagged options. The increased friction between the pulley surface and the conveyor belt minimizes slippage and boosts tracking efficiency. The rubber lagging is vulcanized to the pulley, providing robust protection and durability. Additionally, grooved patterns like herringbone and diamond are incorporated to facilitate self-cleaning by shedding water and dirt, thereby improving belt tracking. The lagging, applied under stringent quality control conditions, offers a vital efficiency boost and long-term protection for conveyor systems. By investing in vulcanized pulley lagging, operators can expect a substantial increase in operational efficacy and a reduction in maintenance costs. With features such as a 50% increase in the coefficient of friction and an extended service life, the lagging ensures optimal performance and a quick return on investment. Douglas Manufacturing also provides services to recondition and re-lag old pulleys, restoring them to near-new condition. Their Alabama plant guarantees all products are made to the highest standards, with optional emergency services available for critical timelines.Douglas® Truck Tire Tuff™ Conveyor Pulley Lagging delivers increased traction and pulley life over non-lagged pulleys. Increased traction between the pulley face and the belt bottom cover reduces belt slippage and helps improve belt tracking. Vulcanized rubber lagging protects the pulley’s face from wear and extends pulley service life. Lagging is applied in our plant for total quality control.
- As much as 50% increase in coefficient of friction over non-lagged pulleys
- Protects pulley face from wear and extends pulley service life
- Herringbone and Diamond Grooves shed water and dirt promoting a self-cleaning effect
- Improves Belt Tracking
Lagging offers a critical efficiency boost and long-term protection for your conveyor pulleys. Use vulcanized pulley lagging to keep your conveyor systems running at their best.
Lagging is a high-traction, rubber coating applied to a conveyor pulley. This layer separates the pulley from direct contact with the belt, reducing wear and boosting traction between the pulley-face and belt.
Lagging plays a key role in the efficient operation of conveyor systems. Well made and properly applied lagging:
- extends the life of the conveyor pulley
- shields the conveyor belt from abrasion
- increases friction to aid torque transfer
The advantages of lagging make it a no-brainer as an investment in your operation-critical machinery. Lagging can provide up to a 50% increase in coefficient of friction over non-lagged pulleys. It also extends service life considerably, meaning you’ll quickly see a return on investment through increased efficiency and reduced pulley replacement costs.
