A: The cords, made up of many wire filaments, are constructed to provide high flexibility, low elongation and permit efficient and high-strength splice designs. The galvanized zinc coating produces a bonding agent between the cord and insulation gum and provides an important barrier against corrosion.
Insulation gum (core rubber)
Extensive rubber compounding technology develop a superior insulation gum bonding rubber, which penetrates and adheres to the steel cords. The result is excellent adhesions, corrosion resistance and splice efficiencies.
Top cover breaker
Provides additional localized puncture resistance from heavy impact loads that can lead to premature carcass damage.
Bottom cover breaker
Provides additional localized puncture resistance from trapped material that can lead to premature carcass damage.
Outer rubber covers
The advanced compounds in the top and bottom covers are designed to protect the steel cord strength member against the abusive environmental conditions prevalent in most conveying applications. Compounds are available to withstand abrasion, jagged cutting and gouging, high impact, sub-zero temperatures, moderate heat, hardening effects of ozone attack and fire propagation.

A: Strong steel cords and very flexible rubber that make our belts are capable of withstanding to very high impact application.
The cords in a layer, covered with adequate thickness of rubber, are assembled proportionately in longitudinal directions giving the belt an excellent troughability. This good feature ensures not only belt's straightness in running but also freeing it from any partial abrasion at an early stage.
More significant performance when take-up travel is restricted.
Strong steel structure can stand higher working requirements than synthetic fabric belt, it is particularly suitable for long-distance transportation.
A not corrosive-easily, zinc-coated steel cord is chosen to be covered by a layer of cushion rubber, which will protect it from corrosion and be worked for long time.

A: Steel cable rubber conveyor belts are commonly used for transport of products at lengthy ranges and heavy loads which have high resistance. The steel cable conveyor belts are used also in high-speed transport at brief distances. These conveyor belts need only a very short take-up stroke.
The belt structure with its longitudinally ordered steel cables skeleton is resistant to fatigue because of flexing.
Thus, smaller diameter drive pulleys can be used to design equipment of smaller size. The steel wires are bonded with high level of adhesion to the fabric on their ground.
The rubber of the rubber conveyor belt with steel wires is therefore firmly attached to the steel cables and shockproof, enhancing the belt life. Steel cables are structured uniformly and have the same strain, which makes the belt upright and functional.
As the carcass doesn't have longitudinal yarns, the steel wire rubber conveyor belt carry more stuff within greater inclination.

A: As claimed at the very beginning, the choice of a steel cord belt mainly depends on mechanical aspects such as the required breaking load and the overall conveying distance. For this reason, when dealing with the industrial applications where be used, there are many fields where this item can give outstanding performances, such as:
Agroindustry for cereal or grain conveying
Cement Plant for clinker and limestone handling
Chemical Industrywhen handling fertilizers or another specific additive
Portual Terminals where it becomes necessary to handle any kind of bulk material for ship loading and unloading operations
Power Plantsconvey biomass or coal to the heating station to produce energy
Steel Factorieshandle raw/recycled steel to hoven to be cooked and later transformed into a suitable product for future applications.

A: Steel cord conveyor belts are widely used in high strenght, long distance and heavy load transportation of materials and they are also used in high strength and short distance transportation of materials on special occasions.
High tensile strength: Suitable for conveying materials in large span and long distance of single equipment.
Small elongation: Short take-up stroke distance.
Therefore, drive pulley of smaller diameter can be used to make the equipment compact.
High adhesion between rubber and steel cord: The steel cords are coated with zinc on their surface, and also the rubber has the property of good adhesion with steel cords.
Even tension of steel cords: Out of our advanced techniques in manufacturing, the steel cords are very equably arranged and have the same tension.
Good trough ability: As the belt body has no transverse skeleton, it is easy to from a deep grooves shape, so the belts load more materials and prevent the materials from escaping.
Inspection of the belt with X-rays: Users can use X-rays to inspect damages of steel cords on the conveyor to prevent accidents.

A: Steel cord rope weaving: The core of the steel wire rope conveyor belt is made of multi-layer steel cord rope weaving, manufacturers are required to master professional weaving technology to ensure the tight connection and uniform distribution of steel wires.
Rubber extrusion: The steel cord core needs to be covered by rubber, which requires rubber mixing and extrusion technology, manufacturers need to master the reasonable formula and extrusion process of rubber to ensure the uniformity and adhesion of the rubber covering layer.
Forming and vulcanization of the conveyor belt:The forming process requires equipment that can combine the steel cord core with the rubber covering layer well to form a strong conveyor belt structure, the vulcanization process requires control of parameters such as temperature, pressure and time to ensure that the tape achieves the desired physical properties.
Since the manufacturing process of the steel cord conveyor belt is more complicated, the manufacturer is required to have very strong technical strength and a more advanced vulcanization production line, and have strict quality control processes before, during and after production, only advanced equipment and professional With a professional technical team, the manufacturer can ensure the production of high-quality wire rope conveyor belts to meet the needs of customers.

A: A conveyor belt system isn’t a collection of unrelated parts, but an interconnected system that is dependent on every piece doing its job. If you want to take care of your conveyor, you should consider the maintenance that each piece will need. The main components include the motor, the industrial gearbox, the pulley bearings, and the couplings.
Maintenance vs. replacing components
Replacing components is expensive, and you also have to do deal with down-time and wasted work hours when your conveyor system is taken offline. You also need to deal with finding the proper component and ensuring it is compatible. You may even need a specialized technician to install the component. All of this can cause you to lose days of work.
Conversely, maintaining your conveyor belt is far cheaper and more efficient. Your company can include maintenance procedures as part of its normal operations. It is easier to visually inspect parts, listen for issues, and catch problems before a shutdown event occurs. Many of these problems can be addressed through consistent maintenance procedures like ensuring adequate lubrication and temperatures.
Maintaining the motor
Most motor failures can be attributed to bearings and windings. Bearings, by far, account for the majority of failures in motors. The leading cause of bearing failures are lubrication problems. Your lubrication schedule will depend on the motor, but you should stick to the proposed routine.
Additionally, lubrication is dependent on operating within certain temperature guidelines. It is critical that your motor does not exceed the recommended temperatures, or else the lubrication could congeal and lose its properties. This issue can cause damage to your entire conveyor drive system.
You can perform several tests to detect issues in your conveyor system motor. For instance, if you measure the voltage, you can detect if there are imbalances in electrical output. You can also use infrared pyrometers to identify hot spots, airflow issues, and other temperature problems. It is recommended that you test insulation to measure contamination risk, cracking, and solvent degradation as well.
Industrial gearbox maintenance
The gearbox is a crucial component in your conveyor belt system. Similar to the motor, gearboxes often fail due to lubrication issues. The lubrication fulfills two critical roles: keeping the components cool and reducing wear. The best way to test your industrial gearbox oil is to conduct analyses periodically. These tests will determine if there is water in the oil, which breaks it down, and if there is any wear in the equipment.
You should also monitor the temperature of your industrial gearbox often. Establish an initial temperature and periodically test the temperature to determine if there is a deviation from that baseline. If you notice localized hot spots or scoring, that could be an indication of issues with the bearings or gears.
Finally, your industrial gearbox should create consistent noise. Your employees will know the way your equipment should sound, or how it normally sounds. If the gearbox sounds too loud or quiet, that typically means there is a problem that needs to be addressed. Vibration or noise issues could indicate misalignment or loose parts.
Maintaining the conveyor pulley bearings
Your conveyor pulley bearings should be filled to the brim with lubricant when they leave the factory. The reason they are filled is to keep out water and other contaminants. Bearings can last years if you keep them well-maintained. If you fail to refill the grease, then the bearings will only last as long as the grease.
Most manuals recommend re-lubrication in specific intervals based on the hours and speed of operation, the environment in which the equipment operates, and the impact on the bearings. You should also make sure to use the correct type of lubricant. The manual will specify the types of lubricants that work for your bearings.
Taking care of the couplings
Couplings require grease lubrication and should be regularly monitored. You can expect to change lubrication every 6 to 12 months. When testing the grease, if you notice there are particles in the material, that could indicate misalignment.
