- Enhanced Durability & Traction
Our patented ceramic lagging sheets boost friction between mechanical transmissions and roller surfaces, minimizing mutual wear between conveyor belts and rollers during sliding. This improved, stable operational traction extends service life significantly—typically over 6 times longer than hot-vulcanized pulley lagging sheets.
- Superior Anti-Slippage Performance
BAI-OTT ceramic lagging effectively resolves driving drum slippage in wet conditions by significantly increasing the drum’s friction coefficient. Even in wet, muddy environments, their excellent friction properties prevent conveyor belt slippage. Additionally, the strategic arrangement of ceramic blocks optimizes force distribution on the drum, drastically reducing the counterweight required for belt conveyors.

3. Reduced Belt Stress & WearBeyond preventing slippage, BAI-OTT ceramic lagging lowers conveyor belt tension under the same load, extending belt life. The unique ceramic surface also significantly reduces belt misalignment and excessive wear—common issues in harsh operations.
4. Long-Lasting Adhesion with Cold Vulcanization
BAI-OTT Cold Vulcanizing Fluid SA 3000 delivers superior adhesive strength compared to traditional hot vulcanization. Under normal operating conditions, its service life exceeds 8 years—several times longer than hot vulcanization methods.
5. Prolonged Pulley Lifespan
Unlike hot vulcanization, which requires removing a layer of the drum wall during each application, BAI-OTT’s cold-bonding technology avoids such damage. This minimal wear on the drum significantly extends its overall service life.
6. Simplified Installation & Repairs
The installation process is hassle-free, requiring no large-scale vulcanization equipment or dedicated workshops. Operations are quick and straightforward, enabling on-site repairs. With BAI-OTT’s cold pulley coating technology, a single unit can be installed within 24 hours, and systems can resume operation just 4 hours after on-site fitting. The lagging’s standard sizes (500×500mm or 500×600mm) simplify installation, as they are bonded along the drum width to match varying drum lengths and belt widths.
7. Cost-Effective & Low Maintenance
Ceramic lagging sheets are custom-ordered to fit any pulley size, eliminating material waste and optimizing investment costs. Their high performance and low-maintenance design reduce equipment failure rates, boost utilization, ensure safe, stable system operation, and cut maintenance expenses significantly.
8. Key Applications
- Driving rollers: Prevent wear and slippage
- Driven and reversing rollers: Reduce wear
- Ideal for stacking and reclaiming line belt conveyors—such as those at coastal ports exposed to rain and fog—where high lifting heights, fast belt speeds, and long conveying distances are common.
