Steel-wire-reinforced conveyor belts, in which the cords are pretensioned, are extra strong. They are mainly used in mining and handling of heavy material.
Underground mining needs flame-resistant belts. The range also includes oil, chemical and heat/cold resistant belts, and belts that are acid-proof or alkali-proof.
They come with a choice of mesh types. Some have tightly woven mesh. In others the mesh opening is large and enables air passage and water jet cleaning. Wire mesh belts can take on light or heavy loads. They can be used for bakeries, cooking lines and for freezing plants.
Over a period of operation, the belts are likely to become slack. This can be corrected with the use of tensioners, which can be automatic or manually operated. A special type of belting is required for acutely inclined and high-speed conveyor systems.
The choice of conveyor belt should be made with expert advice. The manufacturers and consultants would be happy to be of assistance.
