Abrasion-resistant conveyor belts withstand heavy impact and prolonged contact with jagged materials. They contain specialty rubber compounds, high-tensile fabric plies, and steel-cord-reinforced belt carcasses.
Cleated, ripstop, corrugated sidewall, integrally molded, slider bed, and other industrial belts can possess materials that enhance abrasion resistance:
We carry abrasion-resistant replacement belts for a wide variety of industries and challenging applications.
Conveyor belts that handle heavy and abrasive materials receive constant wear and tear. Belts that are not specially designed to handle coarse materials wear out quickly, increasing replacement costs and downtime.
An abrasion-resistant conveyor belt is designed to withstand friction and wear caused by continuous contact with abrasive materials, such as gravel, minerals, or industrial substances.
Abrasion-resistant belts prevent wear and tear and enhance productivity. By incorporating abrasion-resistant conveyor belt materials, they withstand the forces of friction and resist cuts, cracks, and surface damage. They provide a protective barrier, shielding the underlying layers of the belt from external factors that could compromise its structural integrity.
By reducing wear and tear, abrasion-resistant belts minimize belt replacement, saving businesses money. Moreover, the extended service life of these belts maintains production, reduces downtime, and increases overall productivity.
Conveyor belts experience damage to varying degrees based on the following factors:
We can help you choose the right belt and size so you can minimize replacements and extend the life of your belt.
From mining and aggregates to manufacturing and recycling, resistance to abrasion is an important quality for industrial conveyor belts:
In the mining industry, these belts move heavy, sharp materials such as coal, ore, and gravel.
In aggregate processing plants, they transport crushed stones, sand, and gravel while withstanding heavy impacts.
In manufacturing, abrasion-resistant conveyor belts convey metal parts, wood, glass, or plastic products.
In recycling facilities, these belts move recycled materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, or metal scraps to their designated processing areas.
