About Rubber Lagged Head Pulley
The procedure of Rubber Lagged Head Pulley entails attaching a coating of rubber to the shell of the conveyor pulley. The unique lagging in this lessens wear and friction. The main functions of this pulley are determined by its belt qualities. In this rubber is used in the mining and milling sectors to handle bulk materials like aggregates and raw ore. The Rubber Lagged Head Pulley prevents belt slippage and increase working life by frequently using grooving and lagging.
Krishna Conveyor is a leading manufacturer of Rubber Lagged Head Pulleys, engineered to deliver maximum traction, improved belt grip, and efficient power transmission in conveyor systems. The head pulley is the driving pulley of the conveyor, and rubber lagging enhances friction between the belt and pulley, preventing slippage even under heavy loads, wet conditions, or dusty environments.
Our rubber lagged head pulleys are manufactured using high-strength steel shells, precision-machined shafts, and premium-grade rubber lagging, ensuring long service life, reduced belt wear, and consistent conveyor performance across various industries.

Optimized Performance for Conveyor Systems
Rubber Lagged Head Pulleys are integral to high-efficiency bulk material handling, delivering reliable performance under demanding conditions. The rubber lagging provides exceptional grip and resists wear, while the robust steel construction ensures strength and extended operational life. Designed for use in conveyor systems, these pulleys minimize slippage and improve the overall efficiency of industrial operations.
Customizable Design for Versatile Applications
Flexibility is a hallmark of this head pulley. Diameter, bore size, and core specifications can be tailored to individual needs. With shell thickness from 8 mm to 32 mm and a load capacity up to 10 tons, it suits various conveyor systems. Whether for manufacturing, mining, or materials processing, every pulley is crafted to precise requirements, ensuring compatibility and peak performance.
Built to Withstand Harsh Environments
Featuring anti-corrosive paint and temperature resilience from -20C to 80C, these pulleys endure harsh industrial settings. The rubber lagging not only boosts friction for effective conveying but also cushions the shell against wear, enhancing durability. Fabricated MS end plates and robust bearings add further stability, guaranteeing longevity and repeated, trouble-free operations.
FAQs of Rubber Lagged Head Pulley:
Q: How does the diamond or plain rubber lagging pattern benefit conveyor operations?
A: The diamond or plain rubber lagging enhances surface friction between the pulley and the conveyor belt, significantly reducing slippage. The diamond pattern, in particular, provides superior grip in wet or dusty conditions, ensuring steady belt movement and efficient bulk material transport, which translates into reduced maintenance and downtime.
Q: What industries typically use Rubber Lagged Head Pulleys?
A: These pulleys are predominantly utilized in industries that involve bulk material handling, such as mining, manufacturing, logistics, ports, and power plants. They are essential in conveyor systems where strong traction and load-bearing capabilities are critical for continuous, reliable operations.
Q: When should I choose a Welded Hub over an Integral Hub?
A: A welded hub is often chosen when additional customization or flexibility in assembly is needed, making it suitable for non-standard installations or retrofits. In contrast, an integral hub offers seamless strength and rigidity, ideal for standard, heavy-duty conveyor applications requiring maximum structural integrity.
Q: Where are these pulleys manufactured and supplied?
A: Manufactured in India, these Rubber Lagged Head Pulleys are distributed and exported by reliable manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers. Their widespread availability ensures they can be sourced for both domestic use and international conveyor system projects.
Q: What is the process for customizing diameter and bore specifications?
A: Customers can specify their required diameter (within 200 mm to 1600 mm) and bore size at the time of inquiry or order. The manufacturer assesses the applications load and operational requirements, then engineers the pulley with the appropriate core diameter, thickness, and boreensuring an exact fit and optimal performance.
Q: How does the anti-corrosive paint extend the life of the pulley?
A: The anti-corrosive paint serves as a protective barrier against moisture, chemicals, and harsh industrial conditions. By preventing rust and surface degradation, it maintains the structural integrity of the head pulley, reducing the likelihood of premature failure and ensuring longer service life.
Q: What advantages do heavy-duty ball bearings provide in this pulley?
A: Heavy-duty ball bearings are designed to handle higher loads and reduce rotational friction within the pulley assembly. This results in smoother operation, lower energy consumption, and prolonged operational life, especially in high-stress, continuous-duty conveyor environments.
