Better Lagging Selection Starts with Better Engineering Training Is your engineering team equipped to optimise conveyor design for maximum reliability and cost efficiency? Elastotec’s “Optimising
Elastotec extreme diamond rubber lagging is designed for drive and non drive pulleys that require extended service life.
Hot Vulcanised lagging application involves the chemical cross-linking of five reactive layers during the autoclave curing process. To achieve the desired 100% rubber tear adhesion all five layers must crosslink at the same time. Occasionally conditions can be created in the autoclave that prevent this happening, and result in non-uniform adhesion around the pulley circumference. This bulletin explains how these conditions occur and what needs to be done to eliminate this problem.
Oyu Tolgoi is a large copper mine that has both open-cut and underground operations and has been operating since 2013. The mine is jointly owned by the Mongolian government and Rio Tinto and is located in the South Gobi Desert. Once fully operational, the mine is expected to produce 450,000 tonnes of copper annually.
Sugar Australia operates a specialised food-grade bulk refined sugar vessel, MV “Pioneer”. Elastotec developed a white ceramic lagging made from FDA materials approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for handling sugar on a ship-loading conveyor drive pulley.
