Description
Advantages
One advantage of hot vulcanizing is that the bond strength between the rubber and pulley shell is stronger compared to cold bonding. In addition to that, hot vulcanizing does not create joins in the lagging which eliminates the risks of shell corrosion and prevents the rubber from separating from the pulley. A process for installing ceramic lagging using hot vulcanizing has been developed. This addresses any issues with lagging to shell bonding, resulting in a stronger and more reliable adhesion not only between the lagging and the pulley but also between the individual lagging strips. Hot vulcanizing ensures a 100% rubber tear bond between the lagging and the pulley shell.
Pros of hot bonding
• Better for performance and service life
• Prevents rubber from separating from the pulley
• Stronger bond adhesion
• Eliminates gaps in the rubber lagging
