Drum lagging material and installation apparatus therefor

摘要

Apparatus for installing an on machine seamable lagging, including at least two opposed elongate members (2, 3), such that when the elongate members are drawn together, the lagging material is stretched into a seamable position to be installed on the drum. Disclosed are lagging materials for use on a driven cylindrical pulley or drum for an industrial machine. A lagging material can comprise a seaming element along the cross-machine direction (CD) of each of the opposing ends (11, 12) of the lagging material for forming a seam for seaming said opposing ends of the lagging material when brought together. A lagging material can also comprise coatings that increase the Coefficient of Friction of the lagging material when installed onto a drum to keep the lagging on the drum circumference when in operation.
