Question 1

What types of pulley lagging do you supply?

Accepted Answer

We supply four lagging patterns: plain rubber for non-drive and tail pulleys, diamond pattern for drive pulleys requiring better wet-grip, chevron pattern for drive pulleys with directional grip requirements, and ceramic-studded for high-tension drive pulleys in heavy-duty applications. Lagging is available in cold-bond and hot-vulcanised options.

Question 2

Can you re-lag conveyor pulleys on-site?

Accepted Answer

Yes — but cold-bond only for site work. Hot vulcanising is available only at our Boksburg factory, so pulleys requiring hot-bond lagging need to be sent in. On-site cold bonding avoids the cost and downtime of removing and transporting heavy pulleys, and is the preferred method for most site re-lagging jobs.

Question 3

What is ceramic-embedded rubber and when should I use it?

Accepted Answer

Ceramic embedded rubber combines the impact resistance of rubber with alumina ceramic tiles bonded into the surface. It's ideal for high-wear transfer points, chute linings, and hopper walls where standard rubber wears out too quickly — typical wear life is 3–5× that of plain rubber in extreme abrasion zones.

Question 4

Do you supply skirting and impact bars for loading zones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We supply skirt rubber, skirt clamps, and impact bars / cradles for conveyor loading zones. Impact bars protect the belt from shock damage at transfer points and are typically supplied alongside chute lining when we re-line a transfer station — quoted as additional line items, not included in the base lining cost.
