A head pulley belt conveyor uses the head pulley as the main turning point at the discharge end of the belt. This part has direct contact with belt tension and material flow, so it must keep a steady round shape, good shaft support, and a surface that does not damage the belt. It is widely used in coal yards, sand plants, cement lines, grain handling, and other continuous loading systems.
The head pulley belt conveyor needs the pulley to match the belt width, belt speed, motor position, and frame height. If the pulley is too light or not well balanced, the conveyor can shake, slip, or wear the belt edge. A strong drum body, clean welding, and sealed bearings help this product run for longer periods with fewer stops. Rubber lagging can also be used when the line needs more friction at the discharge point.
