Ceramic lagging is among the most popular types of lagging that is applied to conveyor pulleys. It is typically utilized in harsh environments in which abrasive materials are conveyed because it is more durable and more durable than rubber lagging.
Ceramic lagging may be affixed onto the shell of the pulley in the form of an aluminized strip or sheet of ceramic. In this scenario the backing made of rubber is then bonded onto the pulley shell. Or, the ceramic tiles could be directly bonded to the shell, without the need for a strip or sheet of rubber.
Common Ceramic Lagging
The most popular kinds of ceramic pulley lagging are dimples and smooth-finished ceramic. Both of these kinds of ceramic lagging can provide an impressive increase in grip and friction for the belt, and also decrease slippage of the belt.
Dimple vs Smooth Ceramic Lagging
Drive pulleys are typically followed by dimple ceramic since dimpled clay has more friction and grip, which aids in the drive of the belt conveyor. Non-drive pulleys may be lagging with smooth ceramic, however, it is not as frequent.
The smooth ceramic lagging method is usually applied to pulleys with no drive since friction requirements are drastically reduced. However, any unwanted friction can lead to additional wear to the belt. Dimple ceramic lagging on pulleys that are not drive has a higher probability of causing scratches and wear on the belt when unintentional slippage and friction occur.
General Benefits
Ceramic lagging is more durable and has a longer longevity due to its toughness and minimizes wear on the lagging. Its coverage the ceramic layer may be altered based on the use. The amount of coverage of ceramic can also be adjusted to increase or decrease the degree of friction as well as grip.
Kolag Ceramic Lagging
Kolag ceramic pulleys is one the lagging made of ceramic that is rubber-backed alternatives we have through DYNA Engineering. It is constructed using ceramic tiles that have dimples that are embedded in strips of rubber.
Design Advantages and Features
The ceramic tiles of Kolag Kolag ceramic lagging have been designed with a dimple pattern to reduce the amount of friction between belts and the drive pulley. The decrease in slippage results from the rough surface of the ceramic creating at least two-fold the value of friction. the rubber Lagging.
Due to the decrease in slippage of the belt due to the dimple pattern, the Kolag ceramic layer is particularly ideal for wet or in muddy environments where slippage can be more problematic.
Furthermore, the decrease in slippage of belts caused by dimple ceramic lagging could result in a longer conveyor belt lifespan as constant belt slippage can cause wear on the belt regardless of the type of lagging. Read more.
Dimple Profile to Reduce Belt Slippage
The ceramic tiles of Kolag Kolag ceramic lagging have been designed with a dimple pattern to reduce the amount of sliding between the belt as well as the drive pulley. The slippage reduction can be attributed to the rough face of the ceramic creating at least two-fold the value of friction than the rubber Lagging.
Thanks to the lower slippage of the belt due to the dimple pattern, the Kolag ceramic layer is particularly ideal for wet or conditions that are muddy, where slippage can be more of a problem.
Furthermore, the decrease in belt slippage that is achieved through dimple ceramic lagging could result in a longer conveyor belt longevity as continuous slippage of the belt will result in wear to the belt regardless of the type of lagging.
Wear Resistant
Kolag ceramic lagging offers the advantages of all ceramic lamination, which is enhanced wear resistance. Ceramic’s wear-resistant design Lagging ensures that it will last longer under harsh conditions until it is replaced.
Embossed Rubber Lagging Design
One of the most distinctive design characteristics in Kolag ceramic laagging is its “arrow-boss” design that’s an embossed rubber lagging style. This design element provides the greatest water shedding advantages and surpasses the standard rubber lagging.
