The Core Structure of Conveyor Belts

2026-04-10

Belt body Material: Classified according to application into rubber belts, PVC belts, PU belts, silicone belts, metal belts, and others. Rubber belts: wear-resistant and impact-resistant, suitable for heavy-load applications (such as mining and building materials).
The Core Structure of Conveyor Belts

Body strap
Material: Classified according to application into rubber belts, PVC belts, PU belts, silicone belts, metal belts, and others.
Rubber belts: wear-resistant and impact-resistant, suitable for heavy-load applications (e.g., mining and building materials).
PVC/PU belts: lightweight and easy to clean, commonly used in the food and electronics industries.
Metal belts: high-temperature and corrosion-resistant, used in extreme environments such as metallurgy and chemical processing.
Structure: layered design (e.g., cover layer, skeleton layer, base layer) to enhance tensile strength and wear resistance.
Drive unit
Includes motors, gear reducers, rollers, and other components that provide the power to drive the conveyor belt in a continuous loop.
Drive method: electric drum drive or external motor drive.
Supporting device
Idler sets: support the conveyor belt and reduce running resistance; they are classified into flat idlers, troughed idlers, and other types.
Idlers: include drive idlers and return idlers, which change the running direction of the conveyor belt.
Tensioning device
Adjust the conveyor belt tension to prevent slippage or excessive stretching; common methods include helical tensioning and weight-roller tensioning.
Auxiliary device
Such as scrapers (to remove residual material from the belt surface), chute guides (to control material flow), and safety guards, among others.
