■ APPLICATION  

Zoomry's tail pulleys are widely used in various belt conveyor systems across numerous industries:  

● Mining and Quarrying

In mining and quarrying applications, tail pulleys ensure stable tension under heavy-load conditions, enhancing the system's reliability. They are widely employed in handling bulk materials such as ores and coal.  

● Power Plants and Cement Plants

In power plants and cement factories, tail pulleys effectively guide conveyor belts, preventing belt misalignment and slippage.  

● Sand Plants and Ports

Tail pulleys in sand processing plants and port facilities ensure the smooth return of the conveyor belt while automatically adjusting tension caused by load fluctuations, ensuring high operational efficiency.  

● Steel Industry

Tail pulleys provide robust support for heavy-load conveyor systems in harsh steel production environments, significantly improving transport efficiency.  

● Coal Industry

Tail pulleys in coal handling systems effectively prevent reduced efficiency and equipment damage caused by belt misalignment or slack.  


■ FEATURES  

Zoomry's tail pulleys stand out with the following key features:  

● Durability and High-Quality Materials

Tail pulleys are manufactured using high-grade steel or cast materials. The surface can be coated with highly wear-resistant rubber or ceramics, ensuring exceptional abrasion resistance in harsh environments.  

● Precision Design and Tension Adjustment

Zoomry's tail pulleys feature precision-engineered structures that stabilize belt tension, effectively preventing system failures caused by insufficient or excessive tension.  

● Anti-Clogging Design

Specially designed winged tail pulleys (such as spiral wings or herringbone wings) significantly reduce the risk of material entrapment between the pulley and the conveyor belt, protecting the belt and enhancing operational efficiency.  

● Reliability and Low Maintenance Requirements

Equipped with high-performance bearings and precision-balanced calibration, tail pulleys ensure low noise, low vibration, and minimal downtime, reducing overall maintenance costs.  

● Versatility

Zoomry offers a wide range of tail pulleys, including traditional drum pulleys and winged pulleys, to suit various conveyor systems and operating conditions.  

● Customization Options

For specific applications, Zoomry provides tailored solutions, including custom dimensions, materials, and surface treatments, to meet diverse operational needs.

■ TYPES OF TAIL PULLEYS  

Based on application scenarios and specific requirements, Zoomry's tail pulleys are categorized into the following types:  

● Traditional Drum Tail Pulley

With a smaller diameter than the drive pulley, this type is made of high-strength steel and features a wear-resistant rubber or ceramic coating. Installed at the end of the conveyor, it serves as an economical and practical solution for guiding return belts and tension adjustment in various industries.  

● Winged Tail Pulley

Including heavy-duty, spiral, chevron, and herringbone types, winged pulleys are specially designed to expel loose material and reduce maintenance frequency, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.  

● Spiral Tail Pulley

The spiral design effectively cleans attached material from the conveyor belt, making it ideal for systems handling dusty or slippery materials, enhancing operational stability and belt cleanliness.  

● Combination Tail Pulley

Merging the advantages of traditional and winged pulleys, it offers stable tension adjustment alongside efficient anti-clogging performance, suitable for demanding applications.
