Core Design of the Conveyor Tail Drum
The conveyor tail drum is a non-driven pulley located at the feed or loading end of the conveyor system. It is responsible for adjusting the belt's direction and maintaining proper tension. It is often equipped with an automatic tensioning system to compensate for belt elongation over time. Common materials for conveyor tail drums include carbon steel, with ceramic coatings available for handling abrasive materials.
Materials and High-Performance Applications of the Conveyor Tail Drum
Our Conveyor Tail Drum ensures precise belt alignment and tension control at the infeed end. Its screw-type take-up system allows for ±150mm of adjustment to compensate for belt stretch. Specific applications demand specialized materials; for example, enamel-lined barrels are used in glass recycling plants to withstand abrasive materials, while flame-retardant bearings are essential in underground coal mines to mitigate fire hazards. The Conveyor Tail Drum can also be a self-aligning unit, automatically correcting up to ±5° of belt deviation. For extreme abrasion, we offer a matte black (RAL 9005) ceramic-lined surface on a carbon steel body coated with a red oxide primer. Its cold-rolled steel shell, featuring plasma-sprayed 96% Al₂O₃ tiles, can absorb impacts from 100mm rocks, while a 20-ton hydraulic cylinder provides precise belt tensioning in demanding mining or recycling plants.
