Conveyor pulleys

Drum pulleys feature a solid cylindrical shell that provides full belt contact across the face width. Used in drive, snub, and take-up positions where maximum traction and support are required.

Common applications:

Head pulleys (drive position) with lagging for increased traction
Snub pulleys to increase belt wrap around the drive pulley
Take-up pulleys for belt tension adjustment
Bend pulleys for direction changes on clean conveyors

Drum pulleys use welded steel construction with end discs, shell, and shaft configured for maximum strength and balance. Engineered class drum pulleys incorporate profiled end discs that distribute stress more efficiently than older welded hub designs.

Wing pulleys feature radial wings or vanes that protrude from the shell surface, actively cleaning the belt by ejecting material buildup as the pulley rotates. The self-cleaning action makes wing pulleys essential for tail and bend positions where material tends to accumulate.

Common applications:

Tail pulleys on conveyors handling sticky or wet materials
Bend pulleys where material wraps around the belt
Return positions in recycling, waste management, and aggregate operations
Any application where material buildup causes tracking problems or accelerates wear

Standard wing pulleys use flat contact bars welded to end discs with reinforcing gussets. Available in CEMA, mine duty, and super duty classes depending on application severity
