Hofmann Ceramic Pulley Lagging provides twice the traction of conventional rubber lagging and virtually eliminate slippage between conveyor belts and drive pulleys, significantly improved conveyor productivity under even the most severe operating conditions. Employing a special ceramic-in-rubber design,
Hofmann's high-grade alumina ceramic tiles -- which cover the pulley face and become its drive surface -- create the highest coefficient of friction available in a lagging material under wet, dry or muddy conditions. Each tile is :" 20mm square and surfaced with 13 slightly raised, rounded "buttons" that press into the belt's bottom cover. This proprietary design yields the highest coefficient of friction available in lagging materials -- two to three times higher than rubber.
As a result, Ceramic Rubber enables users to avoid over-tensioning belts in search of better traction, which often leads to such maintenance problems as damaged pulleys, shortened bearing life, failed splices and broken belts. |
