• Reduced take up masses due to increased traction.
• Reduced belt tension leads to increased belt and pulley life.
• Greatly reduced wear and slippage.

Ceramics used for three different pulley lagging concepts

• Ceramic Lagging
• Rubber Baked Ceramic Lagging
• Non Drive Lagging

• High-density ceramic tiles with studs create a rough surface for maximum traction.
• Studs with rounded edges.
• Tiles fitted directly to steel surface using KRAM Hi-bond epoxy.
• Bond between steel-ceramics is much stronger than between rubber-ceramics.
• Allows for water dissipation and surface flexing of the pulley face.
• Local damage to the pulley lagging can be repaired quickly.
  

• High-density ceramic tiles with studs vulcanised into rubber backing.
• 1200mm x 600mm mouldings which can easily be split.
• Maximum ceramic-rubber adhesion through specially formulated primer.
• Tested by the SABS.

• Flat ceramic tiles fitted directly to steel surface.
• Reduced adhesion to pulley surface reduces wear.
• Improves conveyor belt tracking.
• Local damage can be repaired without replacement of complete lagging.
