Function on a Belt Conveyor
The Wing pulley is designed for conveyors transporting materials that tend to stick to the belt. Its beating action, as the belt passes over it, facilitates the progressive detachment of the transported materials.
This functionality is particularly important in humid environments, where the adhesion and clumping of materials on the belt are increased. This type of pulley helps ensure efficient system operation while reducing interruptions caused by material build-up.
Like the squirrel cage pulley, the wing pulley or beater bar pulley is equipped with conical plates welded to the shaft, allowing detached materials to be discharged to the sides of the conveyor. This design reduces the risk of clogging and minimizes maintenance needs, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of the system.
Solutions Tailored to Every Need
A specialist in conveyor pulley manufacturing for over 25 years, ALTEMA designs custom solutions tailored to a wide range of industrial needs. While special pulleys like the wing pulley or beater bar pulley address specific constraints, we also manufacture more conventional pulleys, such as drive pulleys, essential for moving the conveyor belt, or return pulleys, which play a key role in redirecting and tensioning the belt.
Each conveyor pulley manufactured by our teams undergoes rigorous quality control, ensuring reliable and durable products that are perfectly suited to the technical and economic requirements of our industrial clients.
