Belt conveyor pulleys designed for heavy-duty bulk handling

As essential mechanical components, belt conveyor pulleys are designated to drive, redirect, track or provide tension to the belt, playing a key role in the performance of bulk material handling systems. They need to be precisely engineered to bear heavy loads and withstand harsh working conditions while driving smooth, cotinuous operations. Rulmeca offers a complete and versatile range of products, including tailored solutions to meet the specific mechanical and structural needs of each conveyor layout ensuring efficiency, safety and durability in every application.

Precision-engineered conveyor pulleys for long-lasting reliability and performance

Rulmeca uses materials of the highest quality and employes advanced technology and manufacturing techniques in the production process of products. Our belt conveyor pulleys are developed using a high degree of security in the dimensioning of the flanges, sizing and penetration of the welding and assembly between shell, flange and hub. The shaft is assembled by friction lock clamping units which is the most used and reliable solution to get the best strenght, perfect centering, reliability and possibility of eventual future disassembly. Together with the application of the Quality Assurance system certified to ISO 9001, all these characteristics contribute to the production of high-quality products offering a dependable and long-life performance in the application field resulting in appreciably reduced maintenance costs.

Tailored construction for any conveyor layout

The complete Rulmeca production of belt conveyor pulleys covers all these basic functions needed to make the system run, since it includes drive pulleys, return pulleys, bend pulleys, idler pulleys and snub pulleys which are specifically designed according to their role and position in the belt conveyor layout. Basically, our solutions address bulk handling applications where heavy-duty conveyors are required to transport big quantities and loads of various bulk materials. Then, they are dimensioned depending on the specific features of each conveyor and application, such as belt dimensions, stress potential, distribution of load and matching performance of components and their materials.
