Product Overview

The rubber lagged conveyor drum is a key power transmission component in belt Conveyor Systems, designed to improve friction, enhance belt traction, and ensure stable material conveying under various operating conditions. By applying a rubber coating to the drum surface, the contact friction between the drum and Conveyor Belt is significantly increased, effectively reducing belt slippage and improving overall conveying efficiency.

Rubber lagged drums are widely used in mining, cement plants, ports, power stations, metallurgy, chemical processing, and other industrial Material Handling Systems where heavy loads, long conveying distances, or challenging environments require reliable and consistent belt drive performance. Their robust structure, flexible configuration, and long service life make them an essential component in modern conveyor systems.


Functional Role of the Rubber Lagged Drum

In a conveyor system, the drum serves as the primary interface between mechanical drive components and the conveyor belt. The rubber lagged conveyor drum enhances this interface by providing higher friction compared to smooth steel drums, allowing effective power transmission even under wet, dusty, or high-load conditions.

By increasing the friction coefficient, rubber lagging helps maintain proper belt tension, reduce belt misalignment, and minimize energy loss during operation. This makes rubber lagged drums particularly suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Types of Drum Surface and Rubber Lagging

To adapt to different process requirements and operating environments, rubber lagged conveyor drums are available with multiple surface and lagging configurations.

Smooth Steel Drum

A smooth steel drum is suitable for light-duty applications or environments where belt traction requirements are low. However, in many industrial scenarios, rubber lagging is preferred for enhanced performance.

Rubber Lagged Drum

Rubber lagging is applied to the drum surface to improve traction and protect both the drum and the belt from excessive wear.

Rubber lagging surface patterns include:

  • Smooth Rubber Lagging
    Provides uniform friction and is suitable for general-purpose conveying systems.

  • Chevron (Herringbone) Rubber Lagging
    Designed to improve grip and facilitate water drainage, ideal for wet or humid environments.

  • Diamond Rubber Lagging
    Offers multidirectional traction and superior grip, commonly used in heavy-duty and high-torque applications.

Each lagging pattern is selected based on belt speed, load conditions, material characteristics, and environmental factors.


Structural Design and Construction

Rubber lagged conveyor drums are manufactured with a focus on strength, balance, and long-term reliability.

Drum Shell

The drum shell is produced using high-quality steel plates and precision welding techniques. The welded structure ensures uniform wall thickness, excellent load-bearing capacity, and resistance to deformation during long-term operation.

Drum Shaft

The shaft is manufactured from 45# carbon steel, known for its excellent tensile strength, torsional resistance, and fatigue performance. This material ensures stable torque transmission even under heavy belt tension and continuous operation.

Bearing Housing

All drums are equipped with an integrated bearing housing design, which improves alignment accuracy and reduces mechanical stress. Bearing housings are available in cast iron or cast steel, allowing flexible selection based on load and application requirements.

Bearing System and Lubrication

The bearing system is a critical factor affecting the service life of rubber lagged conveyor drums. High-quality rolling bearings are installed within the integrated bearing housing and lubricated with industrial-grade grease.

This grease lubrication method effectively reduces friction, prevents overheating, and protects bearings from dust, moisture, and contaminants. Under normal operating conditions, the rubber lagged conveyor drum can achieve 3–5 years of maintenance-free operation, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Application Scenarios

Mining and Quarrying

Used in primary drive, secondary drive, and tensioning positions on heavy-duty conveyors.

Cement and Building Materials

Applied in clinker transport, raw material handling, and finished product conveying systems.

Ports and Bulk Material Handling

Ideal for ship loaders, unloaders, stackers, and reclaimers.

Power Plants

Commonly used in coal handling and ash conveying systems.

Metallurgy and Chemical Industry

Suitable for harsh environments with dust, moisture, and fluctuating loads.


Installation Guidelines

Correct installation is essential for optimal performance. The drum shaft must be aligned precisely with the conveyor centerline. Bearing housings should be mounted securely to prevent axial or radial movement.

Rubber lagged drums require proper belt tension to ensure sufficient friction without causing excessive wear on the belt or lagging surface.


Operating Instructions

Before startup, inspect bearing lubrication, drum alignment, and belt condition. During operation, monitor noise, vibration, and temperature. Avoid sudden overloads or operation beyond rated design parameters.

Under normal working conditions, the rubber lagged conveyor drum operates automatically without the need for frequent adjustment.


Maintenance and Service Life

Thanks to the integrated bearing housing and grease lubrication system, maintenance requirements are minimal. Periodic inspections are recommended to check lagging wear, bearing condition, and shaft alignment.

With proper selection, installation, and operation, the service life can reach 3–5 years without major maintenance.


Common Problems and Troubleshooting

Belt Slippage
Often caused by worn rubber lagging or insufficient belt tension.

Abnormal Noise or Vibration
May indicate bearing wear, misalignment, or uneven loading.

Uneven Rubber Lagging Wear
Usually caused by belt misalignment or improper installation.


Selection Guide

When selecting a rubber lagged conveyor drum, consider belt width, conveyor length, load conditions, material type, and operating environment. Lagging pattern and bearing housing material should be selected based on friction requirements and load intensity.

Professional selection ensures optimal performance and extended service life.
