Description
Application
Elastotec Crowned Ceramic Lagging is designed to be applied to conveyor tail, snub, bend or take-up pulleys. It is used for conveyor system applications in the mining, quarrying, mineral and metal processing industries but can be used on any conveyor pulley.

Key features and benefits
- Designed to be applied to flat pulley shells which eliminates the need for machining.
- Improved belt tracking.
- Available in 250mm wide strips that can be made to suit any pulley size and make it easy to install.
- Available in highly abrasion resistant SBR for above ground applications and FRAS for underground and high risk applications.
- Coloured logos (Blue for SBR and Red for FRAS).
- High quality rubber formulations designed for good bonding, resistance to degradation by out door exposure, and good abrasion resistance.
- Buffed CN Bonding layer for increased adhesion for Cold Bonded application.
- Available with uncured bonding layer for Hot Vulcanised application.
- Quicker and easier to apply
- Uniform bonding surface – no gaps
- Uniform crown trasition – kinder to the belt
- Standard offering tapers from 15mm through the centre down to 12mm on the ends. (Other thicknesses available)
- Suitable for long term service at temperatures from - 40°C to +70°C.



Design
Crowned ceramic lagging strips are designed to ensure outstanding durability while helping to maintain belt alignment without the need for a machined crowned pulley shell.
The central portion of the strips has maximum thickness that gradually decreases towards the ends. Tiles are bonded to rubber on 5 sides to ensure maximum tile to rubber adhesion strength and reduce the risk of breakage.
