Rubber conveyor belts

Conveyor belts

They are also known as conveyor, transporter or elevator belts.

Conveyor belts can be manufactured to be resistant to heat, abrasion, strong abrasives, oils, lubricants and to be non-flammable.

Rubber conveyor belts are manufactured in several types:

  1. With synthetic cord.
  2. With cotton cord.

Synthetic or cotton cord can be coated with rubber on both sides or on one side only, which allows conveyor belts to be used and adapted more effectively to your production needs.

Conveyor belts also differ in their surface.

Some conveyor belts have a smooth surface that carries the load on profiles, otherwise known as chevrons, while other conveyor belts have a rough surface and are designed for specific equipment, such as wood chippers and roll presses.

Conveyor belts and their purpose

Use of conveyor belts. Conveyor belts with increased strength, more fabric and less rubber are used in equipment such as wood processing equipment and elevators, as well as in the manufacture of roll press belts. General-purpose conveyor belts are designed for transporting loose, medium-sized and low-abrasive products, such as sand and gravel.

We cut conveyor belts on site according to the customer’s desired length, width, thickness and number of fabric layers (we can join them if necessary).

Thicknesses:

3-4 mm (3 fabric layers)

4-5 mm (4 fabric layers)

5-6 mm (5 fabric layers)

6-7 mm (6 fabric layers)

Conveyor belts are designed to transport various loads, such as coal, ore, gravel, cement, fertilisers, wood chips, etc. Each cargo has specific physical and chemical properties, so the belts are manufactured in different types: resistant to heat, abrasion, strong abrasion, oils, greases, high temperatures, cold, etc.

Structure and properties

The main parts of the belt are the cord and the rubber covering it. The type of cord, rubber composition, number of layers and class (N, Y, X, W) determine the durability and resistance to environmental conditions.

Types of cords for rubber conveyor belts:

  1. Synthetic.
  2. Cotton.
  3. Steel.

All types of cords are covered with rubber on both sides or on one side. Single-sided rubberised belts are resistant to abrasion and can be used to transport loads with low, high or extremely high abrasiveness. Double-coated belts are resistant not only to abrasion, but also to impact and cuts, so they can be used to transport loads with sharp corners or falling from a great height.

The surface of conveyor belts can be: smooth – the load is carried by profiles, otherwise known as chevrons; rough – designed for specific equipment – wood chippers, roll presses.
