Drum pulleys are one of the most versatile components of a conveyor system. Depending on their specifications, they can serve in a variety of roles or positions, including drive or head, return or tail, bend tensioning, snub tensioning and/or take-up pulleys, which increase or decrease the amount of slack in your conveyor belt.
Maximum pulley life is essential to cost-efficient material handling and high-capacity production. Importantly, a manufacturer’s approach to pulley design, manufacturing and proper application has a direct effect upon pulley reliability or potential pulley failure.
