Once Again, CCI has the answer when it comes to offering a
solution to field replacements on conveyor pulleys; Steel Wear
Rims, Shell Lagging, Wing Lagging and Lagged Replacement
Bars. There are many applications that require a simple fix in the
field while the pulley is still on the conveyor structure. The CCI Wear Item line up addresses these types of situations. We offer
replacement parts for both drum pulleys and wing pulleys; each
intended for installation on an existing pulley in the field.
Some common questions to address regarding the Martin
Wear Parts are:
Q: When does it make sense to install the CCI Shell Lagging
on a drum pulley?
A: If the conveyor belt has worn through the rubber lagging on
a pulley but not had time to wear into the drum pulley shell, the
CCI Shell Lagging may be a good solution.
Q: Can I install the CCI Shell Lagging on new pulleys?
A: Absolutely! However it is not recommended that the shell
lagging be used in drive pulley applications where tensions are
extreme. The CCI Shell Lagging is primarily intended for field
installation as a means of avoiding down time caused by belt
slippage from worn lagging.
Q: Does the CCI Wing Lagging fit on all manufacturers wings
pulleys?
A: No, the CCI Wing Lagging product is intended for
application on flatbar of dimensions equal to what is supplied on
the CCI Wing Pulley. |

Q: Does the CCI Wing Lagging Require any tools to install?
A: Yes, but very few. (Dead Blow Hammer & a Welder) Each
wing lagging strip is installed by gently pounding it over the
existing contact bar on each individual wing. Once the wing has
been rotated on the conveyor to a point where the inside wings
are exposed; then the cut-to-length strips are positioned and
pounded on with a CCI dead-blow hammer. The product will
essentially “self-seat” itself when it hits the crown of the pulley,
but should be driven on the balance of the distance across the
face of the pulley. Once the Lagged Wing is properly positioned,
a stitch weld should be placed along the bottom side of the bar,
while watching for delamination of lagging from too much heat.
Q: Do the CCI Lagged Replacement Contact Bars fit all
manufacturers’ wing pulleys?
A: Yes they will. However, it is imperative that the wing flight
thickness be submitted to our factory prior to manufacturing the
replacement bars. Most pulley manufacturers utilize different
thickness materials on their wing flights and in order to ensure a
tight fit of our bar onto the wing, we must know that dimension.
Please ask one of our Martin factory representatives for a Lagged
Replaceable Contact Bar sheet.
Q: Do the CCI Steel Wear Rims fit on all manufacturers
pulleys?
A: Yes, however we need to know the outside diameter and
face width of the drum pulley on which it will be installed. We
typically manufacture the Steel Wear Rims in 2 halves which
need to be clamped to the core pulley. Each half-shell is
trimmed ¼" short of the core face so that there is room to run a
weld to fasten the Wear Rim to the pulley. It is also important
that the core is clean and free of debris prior to installation for
maximum operating performance.
