Take-Up Tension Pulleys for Steel & Sponge Iron Plants

UGES take-up tension pulleys for U.S. steel and sponge iron plants maintain belt tension on heavy-load conveyors handling iron ore, pellets, and sponge iron. Robust construction with heat-rated bearings ensures reliable tensioning in the demanding thermal and abrasive conditions of steel manufacturing. Built to CEMA standards to keep your conveyor system running reliably.

Take-Up Tension Pulleys Key Specifications

Pulley Diameter

400mm to 1000mm, engineered for the high belt tensions and take-up travel requirements of steel plant material handling conveyors

Lagging Type

Plain rubber lagging or bare crowned face for belt tracking during take-up travel on iron ore and pellet conveyors

Shell Thickness

14mm to 22mm heavy-wall MS shell for the high radial loads at take-up positions on steel plant conveyors

Shaft Material

EN19 or EN24 alloy steel shafts with extended ends for mounting in gravity take-up frames on steel plant conveyors

Bearing Assembly

Spherical roller bearings in sliding plummer blocks with contact seals and high-temperature grease for hot zone take-up positions

Design Standard

Designed to IS 8531 and DIN 22101 standards with shaft extensions for gravity counterweight and screw take-up frame mounting

Industrial Applications

Gravity Take-Up on Ore Conveyors
Take-up pulleys in gravity counterweight systems on iron ore conveyors maintain constant tension for heavily loaded belts running from stockyard to blast furnace.
Pellet Plant Conveyor Tensioning
On pellet plant conveyors, take-up pulleys compensate for belt stretch caused by high temperatures and heavy pellet loads through the induration process.
DRI Plant Conveyor Take-Up
Take-up pulleys on DRI plant conveyors maintain belt tension despite thermal expansion from hot sponge iron handling and variable loading conditions.
