Tail Pulleys Key Specifications

Pulley Diameter

400mm to 1000mm, engineered for belt return and tensioning at high-impact material loading points in steel plant conveyors

Lagging Type

Plain rubber lagging or bare machined steel face for non-drive tail positions handling abrasive iron ore and slag materials

Shell Thickness

14mm to 22mm heavy-wall MS shell designed to absorb impact energy at loading zones for lump ore and scrap conveyors

Shaft Material

EN19 or EN24 alloy steel shafts with keyway, rated for the high radial loads at steel plant conveyor tail stations

Bearing Assembly

Spherical roller bearings in SNL plummer blocks with heavy-duty contact seals and high-temperature lubricant for hot material zones

Design Standard

Designed to IS 8531 and DIN 22101 standards with reinforced end discs for impact resistance at material loading points

Industrial Applications

Iron Ore Stockyard Loading Conveyors
Tail pulleys at ore stockyard conveyors withstand heavy impact from front-end loader feeding and maintain belt alignment under variable load conditions.
Sinter Plant Feed Conveyors
Positioned at the loading end of sinter mix conveyors, these pulleys handle abrasive raw material blends and maintain consistent belt return tension.
Sponge Iron Kiln Discharge Conveyors
Tail pulleys on rotary kiln discharge conveyors operate near high-temperature zones and require heat-resistant bearings and robust shell construction.
