Conveyor belt (conveyor) is an indispensable attribute of any industrial production. It can be rubber-cord, rubber-fabric, polymer or modular. Depending on its type and purpose, the conveyor belt can be used to transport all kinds of goods during construction and in almost all industries: food, textile, footwear, furniture, pharmaceutical, chemical, woodworking, mining, engineering, metallurgical, processing and other areas. With the help of conveyor belts, you can move goods such as sand, cold and hot clinker, stone, gravel, slag, ash, limestone, coal, wood, chemicals, cereals, vegetables and other agricultural products, bakery, confectionery and other products. Due to the horizontal or inclined position and the specifics of this or that transported cargo, the conveyor belt can be produced corrugated, chevron, with partitions, crossbars, corrugated sides or chutes.
The conveyor belt can be made from various materials (synthetic and natural fabrics, silicone, polyurethane, steel and others) with a strength from 55 N /mm to 3200 N /mm, with the expectation of loads of varying complexity (bulk, lumpy or piece goods of different weight categories, dimensions, temperature and degree of abrasiveness) and various operating conditions (light, medium and heavy) at temperatures ranging from -60 ° C to + 200 ° C.
Prices for belt equipment for conveyors vary from 10% to 20% of the cost of the conveyor itself and are set in accordance with all of the above criteria and other external factors (for example, the country of origin or the quality of the materials used to make the belt). Therefore, before buying a conveyor belt, it is important to be especially careful about its choice, having previously carried out all the necessary calculations to correctly determine the operating conditions and having consulted with qualified specialists. With a reasonable choice, it can effectively serve you for more than one year.
A cheap sample of a conveyor belt is usable in two to three times less time than one with a higher value for money. Such savings in the long term, as a rule, are not justified, unless the conveyor belt is purchased for operation for several months. At the same time, the most expensive sample is not guaranteed to be the best. Buying a rubber-fabric conveyor belt of a frost-resistant type for confectionery production, for example, you will not only spend
