Ceramic Pulley Lagging

The new lagging with ceramic inserts has been designed for use in difficult wet and muddy working conditions, common in gold, copper, iron ore, coal, Lime stones and steelworks, to eliminate belt slippage. The ceramic inserts made of high strength aluminium oxide, ensure extremely high wear resistance. Hofmann, a leading manufacturer of wear resistant technology components, features ceramic pulley lagging as an ideal solution for producers who wish to boost productivity by eliminating costly belt slippage problems. Particularly suited to abrasive or highly wet or dry applications, Hofmann's ceramic lagging provides significantly greater traction than conventional lagging. Ceramic pulley lagging provides twice the traction of conventional rubber lagging and virtually eliminates slippage between conveyor belts and drive pulleys, significantly improved conveyor productivity under even the most severe operating conditions. Employing a special ceramic-in-rubber design, slide lagging which cuts maintenance costs and downtime by reducing belt wear and allowing on-site installation without removing pulleys from the conveyor system. As a result, ceramic rubber enables users to avoid over-tensioning belts in search of better traction, which often leads to such maintenance problems as damaged pulleys, shortened bearing life, failed splices and broken belts. Ceramic-in-rubber pulley lagging continues to excel in applications where additional wear and higher coefficient of friction is required: Extends the life of key conveyor components; May allow a reduction in the size of the required drive, take-up, etc; Reduces wear from abrasive materials; Cost-effectively prevents belt slippage by increasing the coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley; Creates a self-cleaning action on the pulley surface and prevents the build-up of transported material, water, snow or ice.
