A conveyor tail pulley (return pulley) is a key component in belt conveyor systems. It is located at the end of the conveyor and is often mounted on a tensioning device to provide a point of redirection for the returning conveyor belt.
The belt conveyor tail pulley can be used as take-up pulley, snub pulley, and bend pulley. The primary function of the tail pulley is to redirect the returning conveyor belt and provide tension. It helps maintain proper belt tracking and ensures that the belt remains under tension to prevent slack. It can be used in industries of mining, quarry, power plant, sand plant, cement, coal, port, steel, etc.
You can get belt conveyor traditional tail drum pulleys with high abrasion resistant rubber or ceramics covered. The diameter of tail pulley is smaller than driving pulley. It is installed at the tail of belt conveyor to change the direction of conveyor belt.
You can get heavy duty wing pulley, spiral wing pulleys, chevron wing pulleys, herringbone wing pulleys. Wing type tail pulleys are often installed as a method to reduce the risk of belt damage from the entrapment of lumps of material between the belt and the pulley.

The selection and design of the tail pulley should be tailored to the specific requirements of the conveyor system, including factors such as load capacity, belt tension, and environmental conditions. Length of conveyor Tail pulley depends on the width of conveyor Belt. You can get Tail pulleys with hot vulcanized rubber lagging, plain or grooved, as required by client. |
