Wing Pulleys

Wing Pulleys: Self-Cleaning Design for Reliable Return-Side Operation

The Wing Pulley is a specialized return-side conveyor pulley designed with curved steel “wings” or plates welded radially around its barrel. This unique open structure allows trapped material to fall out as the pulley rotates, effectively preventing buildup that can cause belt misalignment, wear, and damage. It is the preferred choice for handling sticky, wet, or fine bulk materials that tend to adhere to conventional pulleys.

Key Features & Benefits:

Self-Cleaning Action: Prevents material accumulation and belt mistracking.

Reduces Belt Damage: Eliminates edge wear from trapped debris.

Heavy-Duty Construction: Robust steel wings and hub designed for impact resistance.

Low Maintenance: No material buildup means less cleaning downtime.

Improved Safety: Reduces the risk of belt slippage and structural stress.

Ideal for mining, sand & gravel, recycling, wood chips, and any application with carryback, moisture, or adhesive materials. Often used as Tail Pulleys and Take-Up Pulleys.
