Conveyor belt is the main part of conveyor, used for conveying solid bulk materials in coal, quarry, mining, metallurgy, chemical industry, construction and other fields. The conveyor belt is mainly composed of carcass and covering layer. The covering layer is a key part that determines its performance and use. According to the different materials used in the covering layer, the conveyor belt industry can be divided into two categories: heavy conveyor belts and light conveyor belts. The former uses rubber (including natural rubber and synthetic rubber) as the main raw material, so it is also called rubber conveyor belts.
There are two types of joints for rubber conveyor belts: mechanical joints and vulcanization.
Rubber conveyor belt can be divided into: steel cord conveyor belt and fabric conveyor belt
Steel cord conveyor belt
Steel cord conveyor belt is a conveyor belt made of steel wire core covered with rubber.Steel cord conveyor belt features: high tensile strength, good impact resistance, long life, low elongation, suitable for long-distance transportation of materials.
Steel cord conveyor belts can be divided into general type, flame-retardant type, heat-resistant type, wear-resistant type, cold-resistant type, and oil-resistant type according to the performance of covering rubber.
Steel cord conveyor belt use: widely used in coal, mining, port, metallurgy, electric power, chemical and other fields.
Fabric conveyor belt
The fabric conveyor belt contains multiple layers of specially treated synthetic fabrics (EP, PP or nylon).
It can be suitable for conveying under different conditions of different regions, different cold and hot conditions, and various bulk materials such as foodstuffs and chemical products.
Fabric conveyor belts are widely used in building materials, chemical industry, coal, electric power, metallurgy and other sectors. They are suitable for conveying massive, granular and powdery materials such as coal, coke, sand and cement at room temperature.
