Different kinds of conveyor pulleys
Drive pulleys:
Drive pulleys, which can also be the head pulley, are driven by a motor and power transmission unit to propel the belt and material to the discharge.
Head pulleys:
The head pulley is located at the discharge point of the conveyor. It usually drives the conveyor and often has a larger diameter than other pulleys. For better traction, the head pulley is usually lagged (with either rubber or ceramic lagging material).
Tail and wing pulleys:
The tail pulley is located at the loading end of the belt. It comes with either a flat face or a slatted profile (wing pulley), which cleans the belt by allowing material to fall between the support members.
Snub pulleys:
A snub pulley improves the traction of the drive pulley, by increasing its belt wrap angle.
Bend pulleys:
A bend pulley is used for changing the direction of the belt.
Take-up pulley:
A take-up pulley is used to provide the belt with the proper amount of tension. Its position is adjustable.
