FAQ

Is it worth repairing an old pulley?

Often yes – new bearings, a new shaft or re-lagging cost less than a new pulley. If the shell is badly damaged or bent, we will propose a new one.

Can you lag a pulley without removing it from the conveyor?

Yes, we also do lagging on site. Pulley lagging →
