How to Choose the Right Conveyor Belt?

Conveyor belts play a crucial role in facilitating efficient and swift factory operations, primarily in tasks involving assembly lines and material transportation. Given the substantial wear and tear conveyor belts experience in daily operations, the importance of selecting the right conveyor belt becomes paramount. The choice of a conveyor belt is influenced by factors such as the length of the conveyor, throughput, belt tension, material characteristics, receiving conditions, and the working environment.

Selection of Conveyor Belt's Cover Material

The cover layer of a conveyor belt is composed mainly of various rubbers and plastics. In most climate conditions, rubber can operate normally with an incline angle of up to 18°, while pvc conveyor belt functions optimally at incline angles below 12°. While PVC may lack the resilience of rubber, it offers excellent flame resistance, discharge properties, and ease of cleaning. Increasing the thickness of the cover layer is beneficial for enhancing the conveyor belt's impact resistance and wear resistance. With synthetic fiber fabric conveyor belt replacing cotton canvas belt in modern times, the performance of the belt core has significantly improved, allowing for thinner belts. To comprehensively enhance the overall performance of the conveyor belt, it is essential to increase the thickness of the cover layer accordingly, leveraging its advantages to extend the belt's lifespan. However, an excessively thick cover layer can increase the operational resistance of the conveyor belt.


Jointing Methods for Conveyor Belts

Steel Cord Conveyor Belt: Sulfurization joints are suitable.

Multi-Layer Fabric Core Conveyor Belt: Sulfurization joints are recommended.

Fabric Integral Core Conveyor Belt: Adhesive joints are suitable, and mechanical joints can also be considered.

Layered Fabric Core Conveyor Belt: Staggered joints are preferable.

Steel Cord Conveyor Belt: Single or multi-stage sulfurization joints can be used based on the tensile strength grade.

Choosing the right jointing method for the conveyor belt is crucial in ensuring stability during operation and minimizing costs and unnecessary complications.


By selecting the appropriate conveyor belt, not only can the stability during operation be guaranteed, but costs can also be significantly reduced, minimizing unnecessary hassles.
