Ceramic Lagging Vs Rubber Lagging

Ceramic lagging is a more expensive option than rubber lagging however ceramic lagging has a greater service life and reduces lagging wear.

Ceramic lagging vs rubber lagging.

Drive pulleys are usually lagged with dimple ceramic lagging because the increased fiction and grip assists in driving the conveyor belt. Arrowhead ceramic pulley lagging provides the solution when conventional rubber lagging fails to correct belt slippage and wears prematurely. Combination rubber and ceramic lagging provides increased traction shed water and dirt and help improve belt tracking. Arrowhead ceramic conveyor pulley lagging corrects belt slippage and premature wear.

Flex lag medium ceramic lagging featuring 39 coverage offers a lagging option between diamond pattern ceramic 13 coverage and full ceramic 80 coverage. Ceramic lagging rubber sheet with chloroprene bonding layer is used as protective surface to improve and extend pulley life in applications for extreme conditions in wet and muddy areas. In fact with 80 tile coverage it features the highest coefficient of friction available in lagging materials two to three times the friction of rubber in wet muddy or dry conditions. Our unique arrowhead ceramic is designed for the highest drive factors unlike the conventional square tiles.

Ceramic rubber pulley lagging 58 ceramic tiles coverage anti slipping purpose provides the solution when conventional rubber lagging fails to correct belt slippage and wear problem the ceramic rubber lagging is widely used on the head. Rubber lagging ceramic lagging dry 0 50 0 75 wet 0 35 0 55 bare steel pulley 0 25 0 15 the maximum tension t1 generated in any conveyor belt is the tension which is required to be imparted on the belt in order to transmit through traction at the belt pulley interface the tension te necessary to overcome all the system. It can be applied to conveyor drive tail snub bend or take up pulleys and is suitable for wet clay muddy and abrasive materials. Ceramic rubber pulley lagging is especially suited for drums with slippage and excessive wear tear problems which make normal rubber lagging ineffective.

It provides very good performance in dry wet or wet muddy applications where slippage can occur while also offering the excellent wear life of ceramic tiles at an affordable cost. Rubber blends from richwood are a high wear resistant rubber providing the best in abrasion resistance and gripping strength. Ceramic lagging is more wear resistant and provides a higher service life too. Richwood offers a variety of lagging solutions that are tailored for the needs of the application.
