Mine Use Heavy Duty Red Color Rubber Lagging/Ceramic Drive/Bend Pulley Drum

Different kinds of conveyor pulleys

Drive pulleys:

Drive pulleys, which can also be the head pulley, are driven by a motor and power transmission unit to propel the belt and material to the discharge.

Head pulleys:

The head pulley is located at the discharge point of the conveyor. It usually drives the conveyor and often has a larger diameter than other pulleys. For better traction, the head pulley is usually lagged (with either rubber or ceramic lagging material).

Tail and wing pulleys:

The tail pulley is located at the loading end of the belt. It comes with either a flat face or a slatted profile (wing pulley), which cleans the belt by allowing material to fall between the support members.

Snub pulleys:

A snub pulley improves the traction of the drive pulley, by increasing its belt wrap angle.

Bend pulleys:

A bend pulley is used for changing the direction of the belt.

Take-up pulley:

A take-up pulley is used to provide the belt with the proper amount of tension. Its position is adjustable.
