Applications
Drum and wing pulleys are ideal for bulk handling applications where material build-up can impact the life and performance of the conveyor system. In a conventional drum pulley, material build-up is common and is the leading cause of damage to the conveyor belt, reduced belt life, and costly downtime. Drum and wing pulleys are an innovative, self-cleaning solution for welded steel conveyor pulleys that are used to move materials such as:
- Sand
- Grain
- Sugar
- Flour
- Coal
- Minerals
- Animal feed
- Tobacco
- Electronics
- Metals
- Textiles
- And more
How a drum & wing pulley works for conveyor belt systems
Wing pulleys are designed with individual wings or ‘fins’ that maintain non-continuous contact with the belt. They sit on the tail end of the conveyor system where loose materials can slip through and collect underneath the conveyor belt. Unlike a conventional drum pulley system, the non-continuous design helps material spillage escape between the wings, providing the following benefits:
- Reduced material build-up
- Lower maintenance costs
- Prevents premature wear and tear
- Minimizes repairs and parts replacement
- Extends the life of the entire conveyor belt system
- Improved belt traction
- Improved belt performance and productivity
