Conveyor Tail Drum

The conveyor tail drum is a non-driven pulley at the feeding end, responsible for redirecting the belt and maintaining tension. Equipped with automatic take-up systems, it compensates for belt elongation. Common materials include carbon steel with ceramic lining for abrasive materials. Critical for preventing belt misalignment in long-distance conveyors.

Description
 

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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

Why is an effective take-up system essential for a Conveyor Tail Drum?

An effective take-up system, whether screw-type or hydraulic, is critical for a Conveyor Tail Drum because it maintains the correct belt tension. As belts naturally stretch with use, the take-up system compensates for this elongation, which prevents slippage at the drive pulley and ensures the belt remains properly aligned, reducing wear and operational downtime.

What is the advantage of using ceramic lagging on a Conveyor Tail Drum?

Ceramic lagging is used on a Conveyor Tail Drum in applications with highly abrasive materials, such as broken glass or sharp rock. The extremely hard ceramic surface provides superior resistance to wear and impact compared to standard steel or rubber, significantly extending the service life of the pulley in the harshest conditions.
