Rubber belts

Detailed information on the construction and main features of rubber conveyor belts can be found
in the subcategory “Belt construction”

In order to properly select the rubber belt for the conveyor, you should prepare information about the following parameters:

Tape parameters:

width
circumferential length
thickness

Execution:

open
hot vulcanized into the circumference
cold glued to the perimeter
ready for gluing/vulcanization
mechanically connected

Additional data:

machine manufacturer
symbol of previously used tapes
any additional comments

Conveyor data:

drive drum diameter
return drum diameter
tape travel:
- across the sliding table
- on rolls
- after rollers in the trough
inclination in degrees when transported at an angle
is it an elevator?

Transported material and working conditions:

product temperature
ambient temperature
type of transported product
belt load
travel speed
external conditions (dust, dust, oil, etc.)

Rubber band designation:

Example: EP400/3, 4+2, Y
EP – belt core made of polyester-polyamide plies
400 – belt tensile strength in Newtons per millimeter of belt width
3 – number of plies
4+2 – thickness of rubber covers: upper (bearing) + lower (running)
Y – abrasion class of the rubber pad: max. 150mm3 ^_

Existing types of conveyor belts

Cover types:

A – intended for the food industry
C – chemically resistant
E – antistatic
G – oil resistant
K – antistatic and flame retardant
R – resistant to low temperatures
T – resistant to high temperatures

Cover abrasion classes:

W – max. 90 mm³
X – max. 120 mm³
Y – max. 150 mm³
Z – max. 250 mm³
