Conveyor Belt

Conveyor Belts generally are composed of three main components:
         1. Cover Rubber (Top Cover & Bottom Cover)
         2. Carcass
         3. Rubber Skim Coat
         4. The reinforced Steel Breaker/ Fabric Breaker is used for extra protection.

1.  Cover Rubber
Covers of natural or synthetic rubber are used in conveyor belt construction in order to protect the base carcass from wear, impact, deterioration and other injurious influences. They are compounded to meet particular service conditions such as abrasion, oil, heat, flame, chemical resistant and antistatic, etc. Cover type, quality and thickness are matched to the service life of the belt involved. A specific cover formulation used in an individual belt construction is determined by the material to be carried and environment in which the belt will operate.

2.  Carcass
Carcass consists of one or more plies of textile fabric with rubber on each side to give adhesion and flexibility. The fabrics most commonly used are nylon, polyester and cotton, etc. The carcass of the belt provides the tensile strength necessary to move the loaded belt and absorb the impact of the impinging material being loaded onto the conveyor belt.

3.  Rubber Skim Coat
An extra layer compound between plies is called skim coat. Skims are important contributors to internal belt adhesions, impact resistance, and play a significant role in determining belt load support, and trough-ability. The proper skims increases flex life and creates a more elastic link so that plies flex without separation; the improper skims can adversely affect belt performance and lead to ply separation.

4.  Steel Breaker/ Fabric Breaker
A special Steel Breaker or Fabric Breaker place between the cover and the carcass improves cushioning, gouging and tear resistant properties of the cover rubber and protects the carcass from impact damages. This construction is recommended for using in belts handling primarily crushed and sized material which gives severe impact to the belt when lumps drop at a loading point.
