The Significance of Drive Pulley Lagging in Conveyor Systems
Increased Traction and Reduced Slippage:
- Lagging, typically made of rubber or ceramic, provides a higher coefficient of friction between the pulley and the conveyor belt. This enhanced grip minimizes slippage, particularly under heavy loads or in wet/dusty conditions.
- This improved traction is crucial for maintaining consistent belt speed and preventing material spillage.
