Why Pulley Lagging? Prevents slippage-reduces pulley wear Prevents material build up on pulley Reduces chances of mistracking Reduces damage to the conveyor belt Allows for easy drainage of water and slurry Conveyor Belt when slips causes significant damage to the drive pulley and the belt. Such damages are not only expensive to repair, but also time consuming and cause enormous loss due to down time. Belts need good traction with the drive pulley to prevent slips that can cause major damage. The life span of a conveyor system primarily depends on its being suitably equipped for the specific application and the standard of servicing and maintenance. The conveyor systems often have to perform in the most difficult conditions. For example, rain and sludge, which cause slippage between the conveyor belt and pulleys because of the low friction co-efficient between the two. Forech offers both plain and patterned pulley lagging with specially developed rubber materials and their plain and patterned surfaces have proved to be very effective in water shedding, preventing material build up and controlling belt slippage. All lagging products can be provided with a Bonding Layer for easy installation with cold glues. In addition, Forech also offers a buffed and plain surface to suit your particular needs and budget. A very special range of ceramic pulley lagging is offered by Forech to provide very high levels of drive and wear resistance for conveyor pulleys that operate in medium to heavy duty applications in wet and muddy conditions.

Patterned Strip Pulley Lagging STRIP LAGGING FORECH-HILTON Diamond Profile and Plain Pattern Pulley Lagging Strips have been specially developed for covering of conveyor pulleys. These easy to use Lagging Strips can be fitted to the Pulleys with the help of cold bonding adhesives in the workshop or at the conveyor site itself, providing extraordinary saving in terms of expenses incurred on account of down time and usage of autoclave. It has been proven that similar adhesion levels can now be achieved with cold bond adhesives as with vulcanization. FORECH-HILTON Strip Lagging is available in a variety of designs, to suit the various application requirements. These are manufactured with 60 to 65 Durometer rubber compound, having an excellent abrasion resistance. All the designs offered by FORECH-HILTON have excellent water shedding characteristics. Supplied in Roll sizes ranging from 10 to 85 metres in a width of 205mm, they can be custom fitted to any pulley size with minimal wastage. Range of profiles and dimensions BENEFITS FEATURES Easy to fit Minimises wastage Outstanding wear and abrasion resistance Reduced adhesive use Reduced labour Reduced down time Supplied in a 205mm wide strip Rolls of 10 to 85 metre strips Diamond & Plain Pattern CN Bonding Layer, Plain or with Buffed Back options

Ceragrip Ceramic Lagging Coefficient of Friction The maximum tension T1, generated in any conveyor belt is the tension which is required to be imparted on the belt in order to transmit, through traction, at the belt-pulley interface, the tension, Te, necessary to overcome all the system resistances and convey the desired through put at stipulated operating parameters in the diagram. The residual tension T2, is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the belt run and limits the inter-idler sag of the belt to permissible limits. The three tension values are related through mathematical equations, namely. T1 - T2 = Te, and T1/T2 = eµø µ = Coefficient of friction between belt and pulley, Ø = Arc of contact between belt and pulley The value of µ is determined using the dynamic test rig as shown below. A section of belt is wrapped around a pulley (180 degree Arc of Contact) with a constant load on one end. A motor applies a torque force to the pulley. At a threshold torque the pulley begins to rotate. Test Rig for Determining Coefficient of Friction 180 Arc of Contact Conveyor Belt From the second relationship in the diagram (T1/T2 = eµø ) we see that the tension on the belt (T1) increases significantly as coefficient of friction (µ) increase. Increasing the coefficient of the friction therefore has the following benefits: Reduced belt tension required Reduced slip and therefore less wear on belt and lagging. Reduced load on shaft and bearings The frictional force is significantly increased in the ceramic lagging due to the mechanics of the dimples. However care has been taken that this does not damage the conveyor belt. Lagged Pulley Typical conditions suited to the use of Forech CeraGrip ceramic lagging include wet and dirty conditions where belt slippage is a problem or high tension applications where the wear life of plain rubber lagging is limited. Forech ceramic pulley lagging provides the best grip for your drive pulley. The ceramic inserts in the lagging surface provide both high friction and high wear resistance-providing the best protection for your pulley and belt in the most demanding conditions. Ceramic pulley lagging is ideally suited for wet and muddy conditions where belt slippage can be a major problem. The high co-efficient of friction of the ceramic tile inserts with the belt also allows for belt tension to be reduced. This also improves the life of the belt, as well as that of the other belt components as they come under less stress. The surface of the lagging is profiled similar to that of profiled rubber pulley lagging. This allows for effective drainage. Forech Ceramic Lagging is offered as easy to install strips. These come with a bonding layer backing, or a buffed surface as per your needs and budget. Ceramic tiles embedded in rubber, are also supplied in Fire Resistant Anti Static (FRAS) approved grades of rubber compound for underground applications.
