Debonding of Ceramic Lagging
Debonding of Ceramic Lagging Ceramic lagging has traditionally been applied to pulleys using two-part neoprene contact cements in a process generally known as ‘cold bonding’. Although this is a convenient system there are a number of limitations that can adversely impact the reliability and service life of the ceramic lagging, including: Bond strength between the […]
Fully Vulcanised Joints – No Weak Points For Water Penetration
Fully Vulcanised Joints – No Weak Points For Water Penetration Cold Vulcanised Ceramic Lagging (CVCL) joints are a known weak point that allows water ingress and leads to corrosion of the pulley shell and eventually debonding of the lagging at this point. In wet conditions the rotation of the pulley under load generates a pumping […]
Ceramic Lagging causes of failure
Increased Adhesion to the Pulley Shell A significant cause of ceramic lagging failure is lifting of the lagging edge due to corrosion occuring at the lagging pulley interface. This is more likely to occur in pulleys operating in wet environments and is mainly seen on Cold Vulcanised Ceramic Lagging (CVCL) applications. The cause is the […]
Minimise belt cover wear
Lagging Design Engineered To Allow Ceramic Tiles To Move Under Load And Minimise Slippage / Belt Cover Wear Belt cover wear occurs when there is slippage between the lagging and the conveyor belt. When ceramic drive lagging is used and there is slippage the wear occurs in the rubber belt cover as this is the […]
Increased fracture toughness
Increased fracture toughness Design engineered to provide cushioning from impact Ceramic Tile Cracking/Breakage Tile cracking leads to tile loss and may lead to premature failure of the ceramic lagging, with a number of causes leading to this issue: Lagging design that has the ceramic tiles butted up against one another can result in cracking from […]
