Textile Reinforced Conveyor Belt Applications

Textile reinforced conveyor belt is principally for heavy-duty and abrasive materials. They are a more cost-effective option for shorter conveying distances and lower capacities than steel cord belts. 

Textile reinforced conveyor belt from Unique Conveyor Belting is ideal for most of the industries. For example, mining, mineral processing, quarrying, earth moving cement, steel, and agriculture. It can be compounded with a lot of properties. Such as abrasion, impact, heat, fire and oil resistant covers. As a result it can ensure the suitability for your specific application.

Unique Conveyor Belting supplies textile reinforced belting in different specifications. Lengths can be up to 300 meters in one roll, with widths of up to 2200 mm. Typically, these belts are individually with a unique logo and feature a 12-month warranty.

Features

Application – Available in various combinations in order to suite your application

Cost Effective – Currently conveyor system still is the most cost effective option for materials handling

Universal – Especially, textile reinforced conveyor belt can be cut to required widths and lengths

Availability – What’s more, easy stock holding due to common class rating, cover thickness and width

The construction of general purpose conveyor belts:

Multi-ply EP carcass (warp polyester and weft polyamide)
Specially made rubber layer with good fabric adhesion properties (skimmed layer)
High abrasion resistant cover

Reinforcement properties

The belt comprises a number of layers of synthetic fabrics specially treated to ensure low elongation (1 to 3.5%) and good adhesion to rubber. The length wise threads (warp) are polyester while the cross wise ones (weft) are polyamide.

This plain-woven combination ensures a high tensile strength-to-weight ratio, excellent flexibility and outstanding troughing properties, as well as high resistance to impact, and chemicals.

In addition, other thread materials and different weaves are available on request.

Cover grades

We can supply various cover grades, and all our belts are of high-quality rubber with extremely high resistance to abrasion, shearing and impact and excellent ageing properties.

Your choice of cover grade depends on the intended application. Note that the working life of the belt is also determined by the application.

Wear-resistant

Available in X, Y, W grades for heavy-wear conveying applications such as bulky, sharp materials like heavy, abrasive rocks. Can handle abrasion, wear, impact and other kinds of heavy-duty wear. High-quality cover grades are recommended to offer the best protection for the belt carcass.

Heat-resistant

Different types of grades are available for high-temperature applications (T120 and T200) such as clinker, coke, foundry sand and slag. Can be applicable for transporting material at continuous temperatures of up to 190 °C, with peaks of up to 200 °C.

Flame-resistant

Available in flame-resistant configuration to meet safety category EN 12882 for above-ground operations and EN14973 for underground applications.
