Pre-treatment for conveyor drum surface preparation
All coated drums are shot-blasted for better surface preparation. This preliminary work is essential if the rubber lining is to achieve optimum adhesion to the drum.
Shot blasting is a technique that consists of projecting microbeads onto the surface of an object using a shot blasting machine to modify its surface structure. This technique is used to improve the surface integrity and hardness of a material, and to improve adhesion between different adhesive layers.

Profile types
Diamond
The universal lagging
Used on deflection and take up pulley. It is also suitable for head pulley.
Ceramics
The high-adhesion lagging
Effective in humid environments to prevent slipping on the conveyor belt.
Smooth
Protective lagging
For drums that don’t drive the belt, to extend their service life.
Slide Lag
For high tensile forces
Its elastomer composition gives head or drive drums high tensile strength.
Pulley bars
Anti-skid lagging for large drums
Ruggedly designed, the anti-skid bars are made of wear-resistant rubber for long life.
Griplag
For tough conditions
The Griplag prevents slippage and is self-cleaning, preventing material build-up and misalignment.
The benefits of rubber lagging
- Bonding systems that make installing drum rubber easy, fast and tailored to your needs.
- The lagging protect the belt and significantly improve the conveyor’s overall performance, thus extending its service life.
- They ensure that rollers and drums rotate smoothly without clogging, thus maintaining and aligning the conveyor belt.
- Rubberized pulleys protect the belt by reducing slippage between belt and drums.
- They reduce the belt’s operating tension, thus reducing belt elongation.
- They reduce conveyor noise and vibration.

Depending on the application, the field of activity, the transported material and the climatic conditions, ALTEMA offers you specific solutions to optimise your products and improve your performance.
Different fillings and preparation
Hot vulcanization
Vulcanization is a chemical process that gives the drum greater tensile strength, swelling and abrasion resistance, as well as greater elasticity.
Cold rubberizing
Cold rubber bonding is generally used on “classic” drums for rubber coatings with smooth, diamond-shaped ceramic inserts.
SPECIAL RUBBERIZING
Laggings, such as Slide Lag, PulleybarsⓇ or GriplagⓇ, are applied to drums and pulleys by mechanical assembly.
