Industrial Conveyor Belt
A conveyor belt is a continuous loop of material typically fabric rubber or metal used to transport items from one point to another It is a crucial component in material handling systems offering an efficient and effortless way to move materials and products in various industries
Heres a more detailed look at conveyor belts
Key Features and Components
Endless belt
The core of a conveyor belt is a continuous loop of material often made of multiple plies of fabric for strength and durability
Pulleys
The belt runs around two or more pulleys which drive and guide its movement
Carcass
The inner layer of the belt typically made of woven fabrics provides the strength and structure
Skims
Layers between the plies that improve adhesion and overall belt strength
Covers
The outer layers of the belt designed to protect the carcass from wear abrasion and environmental factors
