Snub and Bend Pulley

The purpose of the snub pulley is to wrap the belt further around the drive pulley to improve the transmission of the driving force, and to eliminate belt slip. The average angle that the belt is wrapped around the head pulley is 220.Conveyor belt pulleys are often lagged with rubber to improve the friction between the drive pulley and the belt. A conveyor belt will always move towards the point of first contact. For this reason, to improve the alignment of the belt, the head and tail pulleys. Bend Pulley tightens the belt giving more surface contact between the belt and pulley surface and is located immediately behind the drive pulley. Bend Pulley is used on the conveyors where length of the conveyor is more than 30 Mtrs.
