Hot vulcanised v’s cold bonded lagging
The Elastotec aim is no pulley failures due to inadequate pulley lagging. Compare the difference between cold bonded and hot vulcanised lagging to see that hot vulcanised lagging is A...
Pulley lagging performance engineering analysis
Pulley lagging has historically been treated as a consumable and replaced when there’s a failure, without much further analysis other than historical experience. Mariana Ballestrin from Elastotec explains why making...
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...
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...
A deeper understanding of conveyer pulley friction
Experts from the University of Newcastle and Elastotec investigate the emerging issues around pulley friction, the complexity of the issue, and the failures that may result....
