The major role of our Head Drum Pulley is to increase fiction for providing a protective layer to the conveyor belt. It is located at the discharge point for driving the conveyor and can also be lagged with rubber or ceramic materials. At the end of the conveyor belt that is opposite from the head drum is a tail drum, also referred to as a tail pulley. The Head Drum Pulley or drive pulley also known as the head drum is mechanically operated to generate conveyor belt movement.
