Product Details
The Drive Pulley is a critical component in conveyor systems, responsible for transmitting driving force from the motor to the conveyor belt. It plays a key role in ensuring stable belt movement, efficient power transfer, and reliable system operation.
Manufactured with high-quality steel shells and precision-machined shafts, drive pulleys are designed to withstand heavy loads and continuous operation. To improve friction and prevent belt slippage, various lagging options—such as rubber lagging or ceramic lagging—can be applied according to working conditions.
Drive pulleys are widely used in mining, cement, ports, power plants, and bulk material handling systems where high torque, durability, and operational reliability are required.
Drive pulleys are commonly used in conveyor systems across various industries, including:
Mining and quarrying
Cement plants
Power plants
Ports and bulk terminals
Metallurgy and steel plants
Sand, gravel, and aggregate handling
They are suitable for both light-duty and heavy-duty conveying systems requiring reliable drive performance.
Improved Conveyor Efficiency
Enhanced traction reduces slippage and energy loss.Extended Belt Life
Stable contact between pulley and belt minimizes abnormal belt wear.Adaptable to Harsh Conditions
Lagging options allow operation in wet, dusty, or high-load environments.Low Maintenance Requirements
Durable materials and reliable structure reduce maintenance frequency.Customizable Design
Diameter, face width, shaft size, and lagging type can be tailored to specific systems.
