Flex-Lag® Full Ceramic Lagging

Flex-Lag® Full Ceramic Lagging

Flex-Lag® Full Ceramic Lagging is the reliable solution for belt slippage problems that conventional rubber lagging often can’t correct. In fact, with 80% tile coverage, it features the highest coefficient of friction available in lagging materials – two to three times the friction of rubber in wet, muddy, or dry conditions. 

Features and Benefits

  • 80% tile coverage
  • Ceramic tiles increase coefficient of friction between the belt and drive pulley in wet or variable conditions
  • Constructed from hundreds of individual ceramic tiles molded into a durablerubber backing with a higher coverage than Medium Ceramic for best-in-class abrasion resistance
  • Molded ceramic buttons grip the belt's underside for positive traction
  • Best for high-tension belts
  • Available with FRAS approved rubber, marked in blue for easy identification on site
  • Smooth ceramic available on demand

Specifications

  • Minimum Pulley Diameter: 12" (300 mm) 
  • Thickness: .5 - 1.15" (12 - 30 mm)
  • Temperature Rating: 5° F to 185° F (-15° C to 85° C)
  • Rubber Compound: SBR (Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber)
  • Rubber Hardness: 68 ± 3 Shore A
  • FRAS (Fire Resistant Anti Static) - MHSA Certification # MSHA NO. IC-190
  • Ceramic Compound: Aluminum Oxide (Al203)
  • Ceramic Hardness: 83 HRA Rockwell Hardness Scale A
  • Strip widths from 35" (880 mm) to 101" (2560 mm) to match pulley face widths
  • Strip widths from 18" (450 mm) to 84" (2100 mm) to match belt widths

Installation

  • Use the Flexco Lagging calculator to determine the appropriate number of strips/rolls required for your application
  • Flex-Lag does not require removing the pulley from the conveyor system
  • A labor-saving cold vulcanization process with Flex-Lag Adhesive makes on-site installation fast, simple, and efficient

How to Select the Right Lagging Product

To select the right pulley lagging, be sure to consider the environmental conditions around the pulley:

  • Belt condition, i.e., wet or dry
  • The service required for bonded lagging versus weld-on
  • The expected wear life of the lagging
