HOLZ Slide Lag

HOLZ Slide-Lag®

HOLZ Slide-Lag® traction pads — a unique and proven method of increasing conveyor and elevator performance. Designed for direct application to the drive pulley, this product can transform any belt system into a high-performance, low-maintenance operation. In addition to providing outstanding increases in the coefficient of friction (traction) between the belt and pulley, it serves to protect the pulley face and belt cover from damage and provides a self-cleaning action to prevent material build-up on the pulley.
Slide-Lag®’s combination of elastomer compounds and product design features is consistently superior to conventional vulcanized, cold bond or bolted-on pulley laggings. Unique factory bonding system eliminates lagging separation thus making Slide-Lag® ideal for severe service conditions with dual or high horsepower drives or using steel cable conveyor belts. The MSHA approved SOF compound provides an added margin of safety for potentially hazardous operations in underground mining and meets OSHA standards for grain and fertilizer handling.
The SLIDE-LAG® Formula… provides specially compounded elastomer padding vulcanized under high pressure to heavy-gauge steel plates which are shaped to conform to each pulley face. The plates slide in and out of special retainers which have been securely welded or bolted to the pulley face.


1. Exclusive elastomer compounding provides a lagging pad with exceptional drive-pulley traction, abuse resistance, and extra long service life. The elastomer retains its integrity under the most severe operating conditions.	3. Steel backing plates are precision formed at the factory to fit the curved surface provided by each individual pulley diameter. Insures proper pad stability and long life.
2. Factory hot-vulcanization under pressure assures the best possible bond of rubber to backing plate. No lagging failures from loss of adhesion and separation — the most common problems associated with conventional lagging.	4. Rust-resistant metal retainers are permanently welded or bolted to the pulley face to securely hold the lagging pads in place. When properly installed, lagging cannot shift or pull free from the effects of impact, trapped material, or belt or product movement.
