What are the common applications of conveyor belts in industrial production?

Conveyor belts are widely used in industrial production, covering almost all fields involving material handling and transmission. Not only do they increase production efficiency, they also significantly reduce the cost and risk of manual handling. The following will discuss the application of conveyor belts in many common industrial production fields, as well as their specific functions and advantages in different fields.

 

In the manufacturing industry, conveyor belts are one of the core equipment of automated production lines. Whether in automobile manufacturing, electronics production or home appliance assembly, conveyor belts perform critical material transport tasks. They transport parts from one process to the next, ensuring the smooth running of the production line. Through reasonable design and layout, conveyor belts can not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce worker labor and improve overall production safety and accuracy.

 

In the mining and quarrying industry, conveyor belts are widely used for long-distance transportation of materials such as ore, coal, sand and gravel. Mines and quarries usually have complex terrain and harsh operating environments. Conveyor belts can achieve efficient and stable material transportation under such conditions, reducing the cost of heavy truck transportation. Wear- and tear-resistant rubber conveyor belts are particularly suitable for such high-load transport tasks.

 

The agricultural field is also an important application place for conveyor belts, especially in the harvesting, sorting and packaging processes of grain, fruits and vegetables. The popularity of modern agricultural machinery allows conveyor belts to transport harvested crops directly to processing or storage areas, reducing crop losses. In addition, corrosion-resistant, easy-to-clean food-grade conveyor belts are widely used in agricultural processing plants to ensure food safety and production efficiency.

 

The food and beverage industry has stricter demands on conveyor belts, requiring the use of materials that meet hygiene standards, such as food-grade rubber or plastic. These conveyor belts are used in all aspects of food production, from raw material transport, cleaning, cutting to packaging, always maintaining efficient material handling capabilities. The application of conveyor belts in assembly line production reduces the chance of manual contact with food and ensures the hygienic quality of products.

 

The logistics and warehousing industry is another area that relies heavily on conveyor belts. In modern warehousing centers and logistics sorting centers, conveyor belt systems are responsible for the task of classifying and transmitting goods. Especially in the e-commerce express delivery industry, conveyor belt systems have greatly improved the efficiency of parcel sorting and distribution. Adjustable speed conveyor belts and automated control systems enable the logistics center to handle large quantities of goods during peak periods.

 

In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, conveyor belts are mainly used to transport various raw materials to processing equipment or to transport finished products to packaging areas. Since many chemical materials are corrosive and dangerous, the chemical industry has extremely high requirements for the corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of conveyor belts. The selected conveyor belt materials must have the ability to resist chemical corrosion and be able to work stably under extreme temperatures.

 

The construction industry is also inseparable from conveyor belt equipment, especially in the transportation process of cement, sand and gravel and other building materials, conveyor belts play an indispensable role. Large-scale construction projects usually require the transportation of materials in large quantities over a long period of time. Conveyor belts can greatly improve the handling efficiency and ensure the continuity of material supply at the construction site.

  • Rubber Wide - Angle Belt
    Rubber Wide - Angle Belt
    The wide-angle belt is a new type of industrial transmission belt developed on the basis of the general industrial V-belt technology.
    They are all driven by the friction diagram on both sides of the belt. The wedge angle of the general V-belt is 40° and the wedge angle
    of the wide-angle transmission belt is 60°.
    According to the principle of transmission dynamics, as the wedge angle of the wide-angle belt increases, the area supported by the
    two transmission sides naturally increases, thus giving rise to the following advantages over the general V-belt:
    1. The load of the wide-angle belt is evenly distributed and the wear resistance is improved.
    2. The contact area between the belt and the pulley increases and the transmission force is increased.
    3. It improves the concave deformation of the drive belt core and strengthens the drive characteristics.
    4. After the wide-angle belt is installed and used, the problem of belt tension drop is improved.
    It is the above-mentioned advantages of the wide-angle belt that are widely used and affirmed by the precision machinery industry.

  • Rubber Conveyor Belt
    Rubber Conveyor Belt
    The conveyor belt is composed of surface adhesive, core, and layer glue. In addition, a layer of buffer cloth can be added to the use of high drop impact to make it more impact-resistant.

    The surface adhesive
    With natural rubber and synthetic rubber as raw materials and in order to enhance wear resistance, crack resistance, aging resistance, and other properties, the surface adhesive has various characteristics such as wear resistance, cutting resistance, heat resistance, flame resistance, cold resistance, acid and alkali resistance, oil resistance, static electricity resistance and so on.
    Cloth layer core
    The cloth layer is composed of natural fiber or chemical fiber alone or a combination of the two, has the same quality after single-step treatment by a mature process, And has good adhesion with rubber.
    The adhesive layer
    The adhesive layer is very important for the adhesive force between the layers of the core of the conveyor belt that is repeatedly flexed. Especially for high-tension conveyor belts, a layer of adhesive with less buckling stress and less fatigue due to internal stress must be used.
    Specifications and models can be customized according to customer requirements, with a thickness ranging from 2.0 mm to 8.0 mm.
