What types of conveyor belts are there?

There are many types of conveyor belts, each suitable for different materials and working environments. Here are some common types of conveyor belts:

1. Ordinary conveyor belts: Suitable for conveying a variety of non-corrosive, non-spiky, block, granular, powdery materials at room temperature, such as coal, coke, sand, gravel, cement and other bulk or piece items.

2. Corrugated sidewall conveyor belt: It is composed of base belt, sidewall, and cross partition, suitable for conveying powder, granular, small block, paste and wavy materials that are easy to scatter. It occupies a small area, has flexible layout, fast installation speed, small maintenance, low energy consumption, high belt strength and long service life.

3. Patterned anti-skid conveyor belt: The working surface is a patterned covering rubber, which is used to prevent materials from sliding down and improve the conveying capacity. Commonly used pattern shapes include herringbone, figure eight, fishbone, pitting, etc. It is suitable for conveying small and medium-sized block, granular, powdery objects, and is suitable for high-speed, medium and long-distance, and impact-resistant transportation.

4. Heat-resistant conveyor belt: mainly used for conveying high-temperature materials, such as sintered ore, hot coke, cement clinker, hot castings, etc. According to the heat resistance level, it is made of different materials to improve the heat resistance life.

5. Polyester conveyor belt: also known as EP conveyor belt, wear-resistant conveyor belt, automatic conveyor belt, cement conveyor belt. The belt has high body modulus, small elongation in use, good heat stability and impact resistance. It is suitable for conveying materials under medium and long distances, high cuts and high speed conditions. It is widely used in coal, mines, ports, metallurgy, electricity, chemical industry and other fields.

6. Flame-retardant steel wire rope conveyor belt: made of steel rope core liner covered with rubber, it has high tensile strength, good impact resistance, long life, small elongation in use, good troughing and good flexural resistance. It is suitable for conveying materials over long distances, large distances and high speeds. It is also widely used in coal, mines, ports, metallurgy, electricity, chemical industry and other fields.

7. Ring conveyor belt: The conveyor belt is made into a jointless ring, and the belt core has no joints, so the belt surface is flat, the tension is uniform, the operation is stable, and the elongation is small.

8. Smooth light conveyor belt: Use high-strength and high-quality cotton, nylon, and polyester canvas as the belt core, and use pure natural polyvinyl chloride to make a white or light-colored covering layer, which is pollution-free and does not affect food hygiene. It is suitable for logistics, packaging, printing, food, wood, aquatic products, stone and other industries.

9. Skirt conveyor belt: It is divided into two types: a conveyor belt with skirt and no partition and a conveyor belt with skirt and partition, which can continuously convey various bulk materials at any inclination angle of 0 to 90 degrees. It has the characteristics of large conveying inclination angle, wide range of use, small footprint, no transfer point, reduced civil engineering investment, low maintenance cost, and large conveying capacity.

In addition, there are some other types of conveyor belts, such as oil-resistant conveyor belts, acid and alkali-resistant conveyor belts, whole-core flame-retardant conveyor belts, bucket conveyor belts, flat conveyor belts, transition belts, roller conveyor belts, mesh conveyor belts, and grille conveyor belts. These conveyor belts are suitable for various special working environments and material conveying needs according to their different materials, structures and performance characteristics. When selecting a conveyor belt, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as specific material characteristics, conveying distance, and working environment.
