What is steel cord conveyor belt?

Steel cord conveyor belts are designed for heavy-duty applications, offering high tensile strength and durability for transporting bulk materials over long distances and through challenging environments.

Steel Cord Conveyor Belts Key Specifications

1. Tensile Strength:

● Rating: Typically ranges from 500 N/mm to 8000 N/mm (Newtons per millimeter) depending on the application requirements.

● Cord Diameter: Varies based on the required tensile strength, generally from 2.5 mm to 12 mm.

2. Belt Width:

● Range: Commonly available in widths from 500 mm to 3000 mm.

● Customization: Can be customized to specific widths based on the application's needs.

3. Belt Thickness:

● Total Thickness: Usually ranges from 10 mm to 30 mm.

● Cover Thickness: The top cover typically ranges from 4 mm to 10 mm, and the bottom cover from 2 mm to 6 mm, depending on the protection required for the cords and the materials being transported.

4. Length:

● Roll Length: Typically supplied in rolls of up to 300 meters, but can be customized based on installation needs.

5. Cord Spacing:

● Range: Generally between 10 mm and 25 mm, depending on the belt strength and flexibility requirements.

6. Cover Grades:

● Material: Usually made from rubber compounds, but can include other polymers for specific applications.

● Grades:

○ General Purpose: For standard applications.

○ Heat-Resistant: Suitable for high-temperature materials.

○ Oil-Resistant: For environments with oil and grease exposure.

○ Flame-Retardant: For use in fire-prone areas.

○ Chemical-Resistant: For applications involving corrosive substances.

7. Operating Temperature:

● Range: Typically between -40°C to +150°C, depending on the cover material and application.

8. Carcass Construction:

● Cord Material: High-tensile steel cords made of galvanized steel to prevent corrosion.

● Number of Plies: Usually consists of a single ply of steel cords, but multiple plies can be used for extra strength.

9. Elongation:

● Range: Low elongation, typically less than 0.5% under maximum load, ensuring minimal stretching and high dimensional stability.

10. Impact Resistance:

● Reinforcement: Often includes impact-resistant layers or specialized covers to withstand heavy impacts at loading points.

Steel Cord Rubber Conveyor Belt Key Features

Load Capacity: Can handle very heavy loads and high-stress conditions, making them ideal for long-distance transport of bulk materials.

Wear Resistance: Excellent resistance to abrasion, cuts, and punctures due to robust cover materials.

Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized steel cords offer high resistance to corrosion.

Flexibility: Despite their high strength, steel cord belts are designed to be flexible enough for use with various pulley diameters and complex routing.

Longevity: Long operational life reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

Reliability: High reliability and consistent performance in demanding conditions.

Fire Resistance: Can be made with fire-retardant materials for safe use in hazardous environments.

Anti-Static Properties: Available with anti-static properties to prevent static build-up.
