Head Pulley (also called Head Drive or Drive Pulley) is an important component in conveyor systems, especially belt conveyors. The main functions are:
Function
1. Move the conveyor belt with motor rotation.
2. Set the conveyor speed.
3. Transferring power from the motor to the conveyor belt.
4. Direct the conveyor belt to keep it on track.
