• Proven Hot Vulcanised bonding system to provide 100% rubber tear adhesion to the pulley shell. This bonding system eliminates the chance of the lagging debonding from the pulley shell, edge lifting and the chance of separation of the lagging of the joins between strips.
• 60 Shore A rubber backing developed in conjunction with ARDL (Akron Rubber Development Laboratory) to handle hot vulcanised application without degradation, retain flexibility at low temperature (-40°C) and to also have excellent resistance to outdoor ageing.
• Proven bonding system between the aluminium oxide tiles and the backing rubber. Elastotec has run long term ageing tests since 2012 and based on these text results and field service of over 700 pulleys, provides a guarantee that there will no debonding of tiles from Elastotec Extreme Ceramic Lagging.
• High performance 95% Aluminium Oxide tiles with high levels of hardness, abrasion resistance and crack resistance. This greatly reduces the likelihood of tile cracking when carry back is present.
• Modified dimple profile to increase durability and to also be kinder to the bottom cover of the belt. Dimple diameter has been increased and profile has been tapered to increase dimple strength. Addition of radii to all corners has been done to increase resistance to cracking and breakage of the dimples.
• Tile thickness increased to 8mm + 1.5mm dimples to improve the resistance to cracking. Flex crack resistance results:
  – Standard 4mm thick body tile 2-3,000N
  – Extreme 8mm thick body tile > 10,000N
• The increase in bonded surface area of the Extreme tile results in the tile pull out force doubling, when compared to the standard tile.

Elastotec Extreme Ceramic Lagging is designed for use in the following demanding applications:

• Large drive and non-drive pulleys on high power belt conveyors that are in contact with the clean side of the belt. This includes gearless drive conveyors of all power ratings.
• Pulley in locations that are difficult to access and where pulley change out is difficult.
• Critical locations where unplanned conveyor down time due to lagging failure must be eliminated.
• Conveyors that operate across a wide temperature range.
• Conveyors that operate in wet conditions.
