HEAD PULLEY FOR 800MM WIDTH BELT CONVEYOR

A belt conveyor pulley is a critical mechanical component used to drive and redirect the conveyor belt. For a system with 800 mm belt width, the pulleys must be appropriately sized and engineered to support the load, belt tension, and operational environment. 🔹 Types of Pulley Used: Drive Pulley: Provides the driving force to move the belt. Tail Pulley: Located at the return end; helps in belt tracking. Snub Pulley: Increases belt wrap angle on drive pulley for better grip. Take-up Pulley: Maintains belt tension and absorbs elongation. 🔹 Pulley Dimensions (Typical for 800 mm Belt): Face Width: ~950 to 1000 mm (approx. 1.15–1.2 × belt width) Pulley Diameter: Depends on application, typically ranges from 315 mm to 700 mm Shaft Diameter: Designed based on load and torque (e.g., ~100–220 mm) 🔹 Construction Materials: Shell: 600NB shameless SCH-80 pipe (Mild Steel) Shaft: Carbon Steel (EN8/EN9). Lagging (for drive pulley): Rubber or ceramic for better traction. 🔹 Design Considerations: Belt Speed: Typically 1.5 – 3.5 m/s Load Capacity: Depends on bulk density and conveyor inclination. Pulley Bearing Type: Spherical roller bearings with adaptor sleeve for heavy-duty use. Balancing: Static and dynamic balancing to minimize vibration. 🔹 Applications: Used in industries like mining, cement, steel, ports, and power plants for transporting bulk materials like coal, limestone, and iron ore.
