About Conveyor Tail Pulley
The Conveyor Tail Pulley is situated at the loading end of the belt. It has a flat face or a slatted profile which allows debris to fall between the support members and cleans the belt. By raising the driving belt wrap angle of the pulley, a snub pulley increases traction. It mainly aids in the free rotation of the belt around the end of the conveyor. With bearings positioned either inside or on the ends of our Conveyor Tail Pulley, it typically spins freely.
Krishna Conveyor is a leading manufacturer of Conveyor Tail Pulleys, designed to support smooth belt movement and maintain proper belt tension at the tail end of conveyor systems. Installed at the non-driven end, the tail pulley plays a critical role in belt alignment, return belt guidance, and efficient material handling operations.
Manufactured using high-quality steel shells, robust shafts, and precision bearings, Krishna Conveyors tail pulleys ensure long service life, minimal maintenance, and stable conveyor performance. Our tail pulleys are available in plain or rubber-lagged options and can be customized to meet specific industry and application requirements.
