Drum Pulley

Drum pulleys are essential components in conveyor systems, responsible for driving and supporting the conveyor belt. They ensure smooth, efficient material handling across various industrial applications. We manufacture high-quality drum pulleys available in both rubber-lagged and plain steel versions, designed to deliver optimal performance depending on your operational needs.

Rubber-Lagged Drum Pulleys : Rubber-lagged drum pulleys feature a layer of natural or synthetic rubber on the pulley surface. This rubber lagging enhances traction, minimizes belt slippage, and protects the conveyor belt from wear and abrasion.

Groove patterns—such as diamond, chevron, or herringbone designs—can be applied to improve grip, promote self-cleaning, and ensure consistent performance even in demanding environments.

Plain Steel Drum Pulleys: Plain drum pulleys, made from high-strength steel, provide structural integrity and are best suited for clean, dry environments where minimal traction enhancement is needed.

Function and Application:

The head pulley, typically coupled with the motor and drive mechanism, serves as the main driving element of the conveyor system. It transmits the required torque to move the belt and materials efficiently, usually functioning as the pulling force rather than pushing.
