Rubber conveyor belts
Rubber-textile Conveyor Belts are recommended for above and below ground heavy duty applications to minimise rip and tear damage caused by continuing heavy impact, such as large sized lumps, sharp edge materials.
The specific design of the rubber-textile conveyor belt protects itself against wear and damage due to ripping and tearing, abrasion, cutting and gouging. This extends the service life and reduces maintenance downtime.
The most common forms of rubber-textile conveyor belts have a core reinforcement. The typically used material for reinforcing the rubber conveyor belts can be either polyester or nylon, even though aramids have also established their standing in high duty applications.
Steel cord reinforced rubber-textile conveyor belts can use brass-coated wire or cables, galvanized steel cables, or brass wire mesh.
The reinforcement cords of the rubber-textile conveyor belts are covered with a layer of rubber whose formulations are similar in composition to those found in wire coat and fabric coat compounds in tyres. The strength requirements to which the rubber-textile belt is designed, dictate the number of layers of reinforcement.
The rubber-textile conveyor belts can handle adverse loading conditions in the most harshest of industries.
Example of industries where rubber-textile conveyor belt are used often are hard rock mining, quarrying, sand and mineral processing, concrete recycling, mobile and fixed plant crushing aggregates as well as other heavy industrial situations.
What are the advantages of using Steel Cord Rubber Conveyor Belts in industrial applications?
Steel Cord Rubber Conveyor Belts offer enhanced tensile strength, making them suitable for transporting heavy materials over long distances. Their construction allows for minimal elongation, which helps maintain the belt's alignment and reduces the risk of wear and tear. Additionally, these belts provide excellent resistance to impact and abrasion, ensuring longevity and reliability in demanding environments.

How do Heat Resistant Rubber Textile Conveyor Belts perform under extreme temperatures?
Heat Resistant Rubber Textile Conveyor Belts are specifically designed to withstand high temperatures, typically ranging from 150°C to 200°C, depending on the belt's specifications. These belts are made with specialized rubber compounds that resist softening and degradation when exposed to heat, allowing them to maintain their structural integrity and functionality. This makes them ideal for industries such as metallurgy and cement where high-temperature materials are transported. For further details, check our Heat Resistant Rubber Textile Conveyor Belts page.
What considerations should be made when choosing Oil Resistant Rubber Textile Conveyor Belts for specific applications?
When selecting Oil Resistant Rubber Textile Conveyor Belts, it's essential to consider the type of oil or grease the belt will be exposed to, as different compounds offer varying levels of resistance. Additionally, factors such as temperature, load capacity, and the environment (e.g., exposure to chemicals or moisture) should be evaluated to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Choosing the right belt not only enhances operational efficiency but also minimizes maintenance costs. For more information, visit our Oil Resistant Rubber Textile Conveyor Belts page.
