NEW AND REPLACEMENT PULLEYS
Custom pulleys manufactured for new conveyor systems and existing equipment replacement.
Conveyor Pulleys for Belt Drive, Return and Tensioning
Oreflow manufactures and supplies conveyor pulleys for mining, mineral processing and bulk materials handling conveyors.
Conveyor pulleys sit at critical points in the belt path. They help drive the belt, redirect belt travel, maintain tension and support reliable return arrangements. A pulley needs to suit more than the belt width. It must be matched to the conveyor position, belt tension, drive arrangement, shaft design, bearing support, lagging type and operating conditions.
We support new pulley manufacture and replacement pulley requirements from Western Australia, with each pulley configured around the conveyor duty and available site information.
Pulley Positions Oreflow Can Support
Different pulley positions place different demands on the shell, shaft, bearings, lagging and locking arrangement. Oreflow can support common pulley types used across fixed plant conveyors, mobile conveyors, stackers, stockyard systems and bulk handling equipment.
Drive and Head Pulleys
Drive-end pulleys used to transfer torque, provide belt traction and move the belt through the conveyor system. These pulleys are commonly specified around drive duty, wrap angle, lagging type, shaft arrangement and belt tension.
Tail Pulleys
Return-end pulleys positioned near the loading end of the conveyor. Tail pulleys help guide the belt back through the loading zone and need to suit the belt path, guarding, take-up arrangement and surrounding structure.
Snub Pulleys
Pulleys positioned near the drive pulley to increase belt wrap and improve traction. Snub pulleys are often used where additional grip is required around the drive arrangement.
Bend Pulleys
Pulleys used to redirect the belt path around structures, transfer points, gravity take-up systems or restricted plant layouts. Bend pulley selection needs to consider belt tension, belt path and available space.
Take-Up Pulleys
Pulleys used within the conveyor tensioning system to help maintain belt tension during operation. Take-up pulleys need to suit the take-up type, belt travel, load conditions and maintenance access.
Pulley Details That Affect Belt Reliability
The right conveyor pulley specification depends on its position, conveyor duty, load and operating conditions. We can work from existing drawings, site information, equipment details or a pulley supplied for replacement to determine the required configuration.
Pulley Detail | Why It Matters |
Belt Width & Face Width | Influences pulley width, belt contact area and alignment allowance |
Pulley Diameter | Affects belt bending, available space and conveyor layout |
Shell Construction | Supports pulley strength, wear life and repair suitability |
Shaft Design | Influences load support, torque transfer and bearing fit |
Bearing Arrangement | Affects pulley support, alignment, serviceability and replacement access |
Locking Assemblies | Support shaft connection, torque transfer and removal requirements |
Lagging Type | Influences belt traction, slip control, water shedding and shell protection |
Crowned or Flat Face | Affects belt tracking behaviour depending on conveyor design |
Drive or Non-Drive Duty | Influences torque load, wrap angle, belt tension and lagging selection |
Operating Conditions | Moisture, abrasive ore, slurry, dust and outdoor exposure can affect material and lagging choices |
Lagging Selection for Traction and Shell Protection
Pulley lagging helps improve belt grip, protect the pulley shell and support reliable conveyor operation.
Oreflow offers a range of lagging options to suit different conveyor duties and operating conditions. The right lagging option depends on the pulley position, drive duty, belt tension, moisture, slip risk and wear environment.
Plain Rubber Lagging
A general-purpose lagging option for conveyors requiring consistent traction and shell protection in moderate-duty applications.
Diamond Groove Rubber Lagging
A rubber lagging option that can help shed water and improve grip in wet or slip-prone applications.
Ceramic Lagging
A high-grip option suited to abrasive, high-tension or demanding conveyor applications where additional traction and wear resistance are required.
Polyurethane Lagging
A wear-resistant option for wet, corrosive or chemically aggressive environments where rubber may not be the preferred choice.
New and Replacement Conveyor Pulleys
Oreflow manufactures conveyor pulleys around the required belt width, face width, pulley diameter, shell construction, shaft arrangement, locking assemblies, bearings and lagging requirements.
For replacement requirements, we can work from available drawings, equipment information or an existing pulley. Any supplied drawings or component references can assist with confirming bearing, housing, shaft and locking arrangements.
We take the required measurements and prepare a new manufacturing drawing for every pulley we manufacture, regardless of whether an existing drawing has been supplied.
Need an Existing Pulley Assessed or Refurbished?
Oreflow also provides specialist condition assessment, written reporting, re-lagging and selected refurbishment support for existing conveyor pulleys.
Send your pulley to Oreflow to determine whether re-lagging, refurbishment or replacement is recommended.
