How to Choose the Right Belt Conveyer Belt?

The belt conveyor's belt selection is based on factors such as the conveyor's length, conveying capacity, belt tension, material characteristics, feeding conditions, and working environment.

The selection of conveyor belts should comply with the following regulations:

For short-distance belt conveyors, it is advisable to use polyester fabric core conveyor belts. For belt conveyors with high conveying capacity, long conveying distance, large lifting height, and high tension, steel wire rope core conveyor belts are recommended.

Material to be conveyed contains larger blocky particles, and an anti-impact, tear-resistant conveyor should be selected when there is a significant drop at the direct feeding point.

The maximum number of fabric layers for a multi-layered conveyor belt should not exceed six; it can be increased appropriately when the conveyed material has special requirements for the belt thickness.

Underground belt conveyors must use flame-retardant conveyor belts.

Belt conveyor joint

The type of conveyor belt joint should be selected based on the type of conveyor belt and the characteristics of the belt conveyor machine.

Wire rope core conveyor belts should use vulcanized joints.

Multi-layer fabric core conveyor belts are best suited for vulcanized joints.

The core conveying belts for fabrics are preferably used with adhesive joints, and mechanical joints can also be employed.

Conveyor Belt Sulfurized Joints: For layered fabric core conveyor belts, a step joint is recommended; steel wire rope core conveyor belts can use a single or multi-step sulfurized joint based on the tensile strength grade.
