Engineering analysis to lagging performance
Elastotec, a specialist in pulley lagging, has partnered with TUNRA Bulk Solids and the University of Newcastle to better understand how close to the fatigue limit lagging is operating.
Rubber Lagging for Critical Conveyors – Avoiding Problems
As conveyors have increased in capacity, the amount of power being transmitted though the rubber lagging has also increased. As a result, we are now seeing failures of rubber lagging due to delamination of drive pulleys and high-tension bend pulleys.
Reduce maintenance time
80% less replacement time with Magnefast. Increase conveyor operating time. Do more during shutdown. Save on labour time. No crane needed.
Lagging Selection: Hot Vulcanised Vs Cold Bonded
Lagging Selection is key to obtaining the best possible lagging performance and a recent visit to a pulley refurbishment facility emphasised this with three pulleys on the floor – two with cold bonded ceramic lagging and one with hot vulcanised ceramic lagging.
Large Gold Mine
As part of a major production upgrade at a large gold mine Carters Engineering was asked to produce a new slurry box for the ore treatment plant. The slurry box was to be located in a position with difficult access making removal/replacement difficult.
Quarry – Screen Underpan Chute
This quarry located in the south-eastern region of New South Wales is a hard rock quarry that can produce up to 1.5 million tonnes per annum of quarry products.
Large Quarry – Train Loadout Deflector
Located in southwest of Sydney this hard rock quarry can produce up to 5 million tonnes per annum of products (ballast, aggregate, manufactured sand and road base).
Magnefast is safe
Keep your staff safe with no external scaffolding, no electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic tools – no drop from heights risks or stud cutting.
