Pulley Lagging
Conveyor Belt when slips causes significant damage to the drive pulley and the belt. Such damages are not only expensive to repair, but also time consuming and cause enormous loss due to down time.
The life span of a conveyor system primarily depends on its being suitably equipped for the specific application and the standard of servicing and maintenance. The conveyor systems often have to perform in the most difficult conditions. For example rain and sludge, which cause slippage between the conveyor belt and pulleys because of the friction co-efficient between the two going down very low.
Patterned Sheet Pulley Lagging
Pulley Laggings, with specially developed rubber materials and their patterned surfaces have proved to be very effective in water shedding, preventing material build up and controlling belt slippage.
Offering
Forech offers a comprehensive range of Patterned Sheet Pulley Laggings to suit every conceivable conveyor installation. The Pulley Laggings offered by Forech are produced in different thicknesses, rubber qualities and patterns to ensure selection of the most appropriate type, to suit all application requirements.
The Sheet Pulley Laggings offered by Forech come with CN Bonding Layers for better adhesion levels. The profiled patterns on the top surface, in diamond or square embossing improve belt grip and tracking on conveyors, while reducing belt wear. The Sheet Pulley Lagging is available in various grades of rubber, including N, FRAS and White Nitrile for packaging and food stuff carrying belts.

Forech ‘CERALAG’ is a ceramic embedded rubber Strip Lagging. The ceramic tiles are designed with a dimple profile to ensure minimal slippage between the belt and drive pulley.
It is especially suitable for wet or muddy applications where slippage can be a problem. The rough ceramic face produces an excellent coefficient of friction between the conveyor belt and the pulley. In some cases, this can be up to two times the friction ratio that can be generated with conventional rubber lagging.
The ceramics also are much more wear resistant than conventional rubber lining and consequently, it will be longer before replacement becomes necessary.
The unique “arrow-boss” design has triangular Ceramic Tiles, on an embossed rubber pattern, this achieves the maximum water shedding benefits of a conventional rubber lagging, together with the intrinsic benefits of the added ceramics.
The vertical radial troughs in the design incorporate the latest technology derived from formula one racing car tyres, which dictates that the most efficient water shedding pattern is effected by using vertical radial grooves. CERALAG comes with a buffed finish or optional bonding layer, to enable it to be cold bonded on site. The benefits of reduced belt slippage will also result in improved conveyor belt life.
CERALAG is available in standard Roll lengths of 6.5 metres and is offered in high abrasion resistant grade rubber as well as in FRAS Rubber quality.
Ceragrip Square Ceramic Tile Pulley Lagging
The Ceragrip Ceramic Pulley Lagging design developed by Forech is suitable for a wide range of applications and pulley sizes. It can be easily adapted to any pulley width because of its unique tile design, which provides a greater amount of flexibility, faster and easy installation with possibility of covering much smaller diametre pulley, when compared to normal ceramic pulley lagging material.
The tile arrangement and profile design of individual tiles, completely embedded in rubber and in association with wide cutting sipes and aqua channels, provides an excellent friction coefficient between the belt and the pulley with virtually no wear under extreme stressed operation.
Because of its highly flexible and extremely abrasion resistant and self cleaning characteristics, the Ceragrip Pulley Lagging has lower operating with improved friction and stability. The Ceragrip Pulley Lagging offered by Forech comes in standard roll lengths of 10 metres and is suitable for use in any pulley face width with practically no wastage.
The base rubber in Ceragrip Ceramic Lagging is offered in wear resistant rubber grade as well as FRAS quality.
Ceramic Pads
For application, subject to a very high amount of wear, high density aluminium oxide ceramic tiles have proven to be an excellent choice as a lining material.
By embedding the ceramic tiles on to rubber, it is also possible to achieve some impact resistant which prevents the tiles from cracking. Forech offers ceramic shock absorbent rubber mat, which can also be bonded to steel surface through cold bonding adhesives, if required. These Ceramic Pads are available in a total thickness of 8 mm including tile thickness and can be manufactured with plain surface or dimpled ceramic tiles.
Forech Ceramic Pads are a very efficient lining material for vibrating screen applications and in the areas where coal, coke and Iron ore is being handled. The Ceramic Pads offered by Forech can also be used for lagging return rollers and as smooth pulley lagging. These Ceramic Pads are being offered in a standard size of 500 mm × 500mm × 8 mm. If desired, they can also be supplied with steel backing.
Patterned Strip Pulley Lagging
Forech Diamond Profile and Plain Pattern Pulley Lagging Strips have been specially developed for covering of conveyor pulleys and to prevent material built up, belt slippage and wear of the steel shelves of pulleys.
These easy to use Lagging Strips can be fitted to the Pulleys with the help of cold bonding adhesives in the workshop or at the conveyor site itself, providing extraordinary saving in terms of expenses incurred on account of down time and usage of autoclave. It has been proven that similar adhesion levels can now be achieved with cold bond adhesives as in hot vulcanization.
Forech Strip Lagging is available in a variety of designs, to suit the various application requirements. These are manufactured with 60 to 65 Durometer rubber compound, having an excellent abrasion resistance. All the designs offered by Forech have excellent water shedding characteristics. The fact that they are supplied in Lagging sizes ranging from 10 to 90 metres in a width of 205mm, they can be custom fitted to any pulley size with minimal wastage.
The diamond pattern on the strips act like an automobile tyre, ensuring that water is kept out of the contact with the belt. As a result it, creates a higher coefficient of friction, thereby preventing belt slippage.
Forech Plain Pattern Lagging is an ideal solution for Pulleys, which operate in dirty places and is an excellent choice wherever material build up, belt/pulley wear is a common problem.
Forech Strip Laggings are supplied with CN Bonding Layer or buffed back, as per customer requirements. Some of the benefits and features of our Strip Laggings are enumerated below.
