Conveyor Drive Drum Pulleys

Conveyor Drive Drum Pulleys are manufactured to the exact dimensions and Specifications stated int the Technical Drawings we receive from our Customer or which our Customers create on our Online Drum Configurator Design Tool
Drive Pulleys
Drive Drum Pulleys are used on a Conveyor to power and rotate the belt which carries the Aggregate, MRF recycled material, Amazon Parcel, Airport Luggage and all Types of Shredded material A Head Drum can carry at speeds of up moving 1000 ton/hour.
Drive Drum Pulleys are manufactured very often with a Rubber Lagging which is Hot Vulcanized onto the Pipe. This helps to minimise the Belt Splipping on the Drum which enhances the overall performance of the Belt Conveyor.
At SpeedyDrums we can Diamond Groove for Chevron - whichever the customer prefers.
All Drive Drum Pulleys are statically balanced during the manufacturing process, to ensure a “true roll” in the pulley when rotating. Pulleys can also be dynamically balanced on request.
Drive Drums always have a Keyway machined into the Drive Engagement section of the Shaft. Thjis allows the Motor or Gearbox to rotate the Pulley. It is a vitally important part of the design of Conveyor Drive Drum

Conveyor Tail Drum Pulleys are manufactured to the exact dimensions and specifications stated in the technical drawings we receive from our customers or that the customers created on our online drum configuration design tool.
Tail Pulleys are used on a conveyor to redirect the belt back towards the Drive Drum Pulley and are typically positioned at the opposite end of the conveyor to the Drive Drum Pulley.
The Tail Pulley helps maintain the tension of the belt and guide the belt along its intended path.
Tail Pulleys are typically unlagged. However, Tail Pulleys can also be supplied lagged when required to improve traction and prevent belt slippage.
The majority of tail pulleys do not require balancing. If the customer requires Balance on the Tail Drum pulley, Static or Dynamic Balancing can be provided.

Conveyor Snub Drum Pulleys are manufactured to the exact dimensions and specifications stated in the technical drawings we receive from our customers or that the customers created on our online drum configuration design tool.
Snub Pulleys are used in a Conveyor to increase the wrap angle of the conveyor belt- this will enhance the traction between the belt and the drive pulley. Snub Pulleys are typically positioned close to the head pulley.
Snub Pulleys are typically unlagged. However, Snub Pulleys can also be supplied lagged when required to improve traction and prevent belt slippage.
The majority of Snub pulleys do not require balancing. If the customer requires Balance on the Snub Drum pulley; Static or Dynamic Balancing can be provided.

Conveyor Spoke Drum Pulleys are manufactured to the exact dimensions and specifications stated in the technical drawings we receive from our customers or that the customers created on our online drum configuration design tool.
Spoke Pulleys typically has spokes or ribs extending radially from the central; either folded in a ‘L’ shape or a flat/Coping Iron welded to the rib to create a ‘T’ shape. These spokes provide structural support while reducing the weight of the pulley.
Spoke Pulleys can be used as a head or tail; more frequently the latter. Commonly referred to as ‘self-cleaning’- the intermittent impact to the belt helps dislodge material build up.
The design of the spoked pulley helps to reduce its overall weight in comparison to a solid pulley the same size.

Conveyor Spiral Drum Pulleys are manufactured to the exact dimensions and specifications stated in the technical drawings we receive from our customers or that the customers created on our online drum configuration design tool.
Spiral Pulleys typically has spokes or ribs extending radially from the central; then the spiral is formed by winding flat bar from the centre outwards over the spokes. These spokes provide structural support while reducing the weight of the pulley
Spiral Pulleys can be used as a head or tail; more frequently the latter. Commonly referred to as ‘self-cleaning’- the intermittent impact to the belt helps dislodge material build up.
In comparison to a spoke pulley the continuous belt contact reduces the vibration and noise.

Conveyor Cermic Drum Pulleys are manufactured to the exact dimensions and specifications stated in the technical drawings we receive from our customers or that the customers created on our online drum configuration design tool.
Ceramic Lagging is popular in applications where belt slipping or high wear are a concern as it is much more durable than rubber.
The ceramic tiles are extremely resistant to abrasion so it can handle harsher materials.
Ceramic lagging has a greater service life, which reduces lagging wear significantly.
