the belt. The belt could be of any length that is necessary for a specific
application.
Conveyor Belts are usually wide belts attached to
countless loops that can be used to move materials from place to another. It is
usually attached to turning rotors which are powered by electric motors. These
wide belts are made of various layers of rubber. One layer of rubber gives
shape to the belt whereas the other layer facilitates simple transportation.
Belt is
manufactured by embedding the reinforcing material - textile, canvas, nylon, Steel
Cord Conveyor Belts, or a combination of them - in polymer slabs,
usually rubber, & vulcanizing it. To a great extent, the number & type
of plies (layers of reinforcing materials) are major factors that choose the
strength of the belt.
There are
various types of Conveyor Belts. Heavy belts are used to move materials in a
coal mine and light duty belts are used in food processing units. The rubber
belts are designed in specific sizes for different makes use of. It is operated
in various speed rates according to the specific makes use of.
