To prevent conveyor belts from slipping, stick these coatings onto pulleys using adhesive. Unlike traditional coatings, there’s no need to remove the pulley from your system to apply them. They also protect pulleys from wear, so they last longer. These coatings are commonly known as lagging.

Ribbed coatings trap water and debris, and shed them as the conveyor runs to prevent material buildup. Use them in dry and dirty environments.

Diamond-tread coatings are excellent for shedding water and debris, and work similarly to rain-tire treads. They prevent belt slippage and hydroplaning in wet environments.

Coatings with ceramic tiles add extra traction to reduce the chance of belt slippage in wet and muddy environments. The tiles also protect the rubber coating from damage during extended use. The higher the ceramic tile coverage, the better the traction and protection they add.

Mount these coatings to your pulley using adhesives, primers, and activators.

To Order—Check the chart to determine the number of strips required to cover the diameter of your pulley, or follow these steps.

1. Multiply your pulley diameter (in inches) by 3.14, then divide by 8.

2. For results with a decimal less than 0.7, round up to the nearest whole number (for example, 7.25 would round up to 8). For results with a decimal 0.7 or above, round up and add 1 (for example, 5.9 would result in a final value of 7). For strips, this is the number you need to order. For rolls, proceed to steps 3-5 below.

To determine how many rolls you need to cover your pulley:

3. Calculate the required strip length. For projection coatings and ribbed coatings, add 2" to the pulley width; for diamond-tread coatings, add 4" to the pulley width.

4. Calculate the number of strips per roll. For projection coatings: divide 129 by the required strip length (see step 1). For ribbed and diamond-tread coatings: divide 252 by the required strip length.

5. Divide the number of strips required (see step 1) by the number of strips per roll (see step 4). The result is the number of rolls of coating you’ll need; be sure to round up.
