Continental Conveyor & Machine Works

limited have been manufacturing bulk material

handling equipment to both CEMA and custom
specifications in their Thetford Mines plant
since 1963. The fully equipped, modern
fabricating and machining facilities lend them-
selves well to the production of high quality,
precision engineered products to serve the bulk
material handling requirements of today's indus-
try.
This catalogue is designed to aid the conveyor
pulley user in selecting the proper pulley for
their particular application while at the same
time allowing the flexibility of the hub system

of their choice, be it the CXTB, Dodge "taper

lock" or a.D.

The pulleys described herein are those meeting

standard specifications. They are by no means
a limit to Continental's abilities in the enginee-
red class applications as custom pulleys are
designed and fabricated to meet customers
individual requirements whenever necessary.

VIEWS BELOW SHOW MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY AREA

~
 Above are several views of the manufacturing
process of a crowned faced pulley. Initially, the
steel rim is rolled to a concentric circle in crown
facing rolls specially constructed for the pro-
duction of conveyor pulleys.
Following this operation, end discs are precision
flame cut on a specially constructed cutting
machine. To assure perfect concentricity, the
hub is first mounted in the end disc where upon
the entire assembly is then cut to the required
diameter. This process assures a negligeable
deviation in diameter and thus a more concen-
tric conveyor pulley.
Large intermediate and center discs are used on
all conveyor pulleys with the exception of those
having small diameters and face widths.These
3
discs are welded to the interior of the rim.
Following this operation, the end discs are
mounted using a shaft with a continual keyway
to assure perfect aligment of the bushing
keyways.
The entire assembly is then hydraulically drawn
together and welded to form a concentric drum.
In the final welding operation, the pulley is
placed on a special machine that turns the
pulley at a precise speed, depending on the
diameter, to ensure a perfect, high penetration
weld between end disc and rim.
The pulley is then meticulously checked and
verified to CEMA specifications prior to shipping
to ensure complete customer satisfaction.
Continental welded steel conveyor pulleys are availa~
ble with CXTB, DODGE "taper lock" or O.D. hubs.

The 2" per foot taper of the CXT provide a 12 to 1 locking ratio on the shaft. The
advantages of the CXT system are its high lateral holding power and its minimuzation of
end disc prestressing. Most torque however is transmitted through the bushing flange
and cap screws.

The 3/4" per foot taper of the 0.0. provides a 32 to 1 locking ratio on the shaft. The
advantages of the 0.0. system are its superior holding power in both lateral and tor-
sional directions, its ease of assembly and disassembly and its self locking taper. The
large CJp screws provide enough force to lock the taper so that no external keys are
required between mating sections.

 The 1-1/2" per foot taper of the "taper lock" provides a 16 to 1 locking ratio on the

holding power when using a key and its greater load rating due to the small inset that is
required.

 VULCANIZED RUBBER LAGGING
Vulcanized rubber lagging without cloth fabric is applied directly
to the pulley face by the vulcanizing process. The finished rubber
surface has a cloth impression left on it. Lagging is primarily used
in conditions that necessitate increasing the tractive capacity of
the pulley in drive applications or for resisting abrasive conditions
on other pulley applications. Standard lagging is of 60 durometer
shore A material and is available in thicknesses of 6, 10, 16, -20
and 25 mm. The tolerances of vulcanized lagging are 4 mm on
the rubber thickness. Due to these tolerances, it is therefore
possible that a pulley have a high crown, flat or even concave
surface at certain points even though the pulley had a perfect
crown prior to lagging. The fact that rubber displaces can also
have on effect on the crown since in high tension application, a
certain amount of the crown can be pressed out. If you have an
application that requires exact tolerances, we suggest you specify
a machined lagged pulley.

HERRINGBONE RUBBER LAGGING

Herringbone lagging is applied to increase the tractive capacity
of the pulley under wet or dirty conditions in which plain lagging
would not be sufficient for the task. The herringbone design
helps avoid build up of foreign material between the belt and
pulley surface thus lowering the belt wear and minimizing
alignment problems.
The minimum thickness that can be effectively grooved with the
herringbone pattern is 10 mm. As with plain lagging, the same
rubber specifications and limitations apply. Therefore if exact
tolerances are necessary, a machined lagged pulley is advisable.

HOLZ SUDELAG
A quality rubber lagging is bonded directly to special traction
pads which in turn are fitted to the pulley rim by special retai-
ning bars. This system allows new lagging to be installed on the
pulley without removing it from its position on the conveyor.

LAGGED WING PULLEYS

A lagged wing pulley is used in cases involving build up of material
between the conveyor belt and pulley causing belt misalignment
and excessive wear. It can also be used in cases requiring a greater
tractive capacity between belt and pulley. The lagged wing pulley
principle works as follows. Upon contact with the belt, the
rubber on the wing tip compresses, when tension is releived it
immediatly returns to its original shape thereby cleaning itself in
the process. These wing tip rubber sections are easily replaceable.

19
 SPIRAL. DRUM PULLEYS
This unique design reduces belt wear and misalgnment. As with
all self cleaning pulleys, rotation automatically starts the cleaning
action discharging foreign material to the sides of the conveyor.
The Continental spiral drum pulley is formed by a pair of vertical
steel flat bars helically wound around a drum, having both begun
from the opposite extremities of the pulley and meeting in the
middle. There is a uniform pitch to these helices and thus mate-
rial is uniformly discharged. This design reduces the possibility
of material build up between the belt and pulley in application
where a self cleaning wing pulley is not practical.

SPIRAL WING PULLEYS

The spiral wing pulley is used in applications that necessitate
reducing material build up between the belt and pulley while also
utilising the wing principle of the self cleaning pulley. The
cleaning action begins automatically when rotation begins and
material is discharged to both sides of the conveyor. The spiral
wing pulley is constructed by helically winding a pair of flat steel
bars around the wing pulley; having begun at opposite extremities
and r:neeting in the center. This design minimizes belt mis-
alignment afld decreases belt wear. It can be supplied in either flat
or crown face in most standard sizes.

\-I
SPECIAL DRUM TYPE pULLEYS
Special modifications can be made to standard pulleys in order
to suit individual customers needs. To the right we see a pulley
modified with retaining rims to assure belt alignment in the head
section of a bucket elevator.

SPECIAL SELF CLEANING PULLEYS

Continental will engineer pulleys for any special application that
may be required. The pulley shown here to the right necessitated
entire stainless steel construction and an entirely open design as it
was to come in contact with an acidic bath.

Elevator pulleys.
Continental welded steel elevator pulleys are manufactured to close tolerances and
are designed to withstand high shock loads. A one piece single disc construction is
used in which the rim is continuously welded, on both sides, to the center disc. This
assures maximum strength with a minimum of deflection. Several models including
split type and heavy duty are available in addition to the standard models. An
engineered class is also available to suit any application.

The standard range of single disc elevator pulleys incorporate either the 0.0. or the
CXT hub and bushing systems. These ensure the greatest possible holding power
for single hub applications. The Dodge "taper lock" however is available on request.

Shaft size must be given careful consideration in the selection of single disc elevator
pulleys since the load is concentrated at one particular point on the shaft. As with
conventional welded steel conveyor pulleys, a variety of lagging including plain,
herringbone and rough top is available.
