Conveyor Pulley

Features

Conveyor Pulley plays an essential role in the performance and reliability of belt conveyor systems. It is
designed to drive, redirect, tighten, or track the conveyor belt.

STANDARDA’S pulleys use the highest quality materials in a production process with advanced technology. Each pulley is individually computer designed to meet the client’s requirements.

Types of Pulley

According to the position and application, the conveyor pulley can be divided into:

• Drive/Head Pulley
  • The Head pulley, located at the discharge point of the conveyor, provides the driving force for the conveyor and usually has a larger diameter than other types of pulleys.
  • It is normally mounted in external bearings and driven by an external drive source.
  • To reduce belt slippage, the head pulley is usually lagged with rubber or ceramic lagging materials.

• Return / Tail Pulley
  • The Tail pulley, located at the loading end of the belt, is used to redirect a conveyor belt back to the drive pulley.
  • It can have internal bearings or can be mounted in external bearings.

• Snub Pulley
  • The Snub pulley, designed and manufactured in different sizes, is used to adjust the wrap/contact angle of the belt on a nearby pulley, typically to improve traction.

• Take-Up Pulley
  • The Take-Up Pulley, usually gravity force adjustable, is used to maintain proper belt tension.
    
• Bend Pulley
  • The Bend Pulley, installed above the take-up equipment part, is used to redirect the belt and provide belt tension.
