What are the advantages of canvas conveyor belts?
2024-06-11 16:40In September 2022, our company shipped a 400-meter canvas conveyor belt with a bandwidth of 1000mm to a coal ash plant in Jordan for medium and long-distance material transportation.
1. This product is made of cotton canvas (CC) or vinyl cotton interwoven dipped canvas (VC) through calendering, molding, vulcanization and other processes.
2. This conveyor belt uses fiber fabric as the belt core and general rubber as the covering material. The surface is smooth and flat. The belt core is a layered or integral fabric woven from fibers such as cotton, nylon, polyester or vinylon. Cotton fiber is the earliest used belt core material. It is easy to bond with rubber. The strength is slightly improved when wet, but the breaking strength is low (mostly around 56 N/(mm·layer)), and the anti-corrosion and mildew resistance is poor.
3. Ordinary conveyor belts are widely used in building materials, chemicals, coal, electricity, metallurgy and other departments. They are suitable for conveying non-corrosive, non-spiky, block, granular, powdered materials at room temperature, such as coal, coke, sand, gravel, cement and other bulk (materials) or finished items, and conveying various loose materials such as block, granular, powdered and other loose materials with a bulk density of 6.5~2.5t/m3. They can also be used for conveying finished items.
Canvas conveyor belt has a variety of significant advantages which make it has been extensively used in many industries. Here are some main advantages.
1. Good high temperature resistance: Canvas conveyor belt has outstanding performance of high temperature resistance, it can operate stably for a long time under a high temperature ambient. Rather than produce harmful substance or deformation, which makes it is especially suitable for high temperature environment, such as cement plant, electricity plant.
2. High strength and impact resistance: canvas conveyor belt with relatively high strength, it can withstand large tensile force and impact, it is not prone to be broken or damaged. This make it excellent when handling large quantity or heavy materials.
3. Low elongation, good adhesion: The warp and weft directions structure of canvas conveyor belt is made of cotton fiber, it makes it has low elongation and excellent adhesion. Ensuring the materials stability and the reliability during the conveying.
4. Good air permeability: The surface of the canvas conveyor belt is evenly breathable and stable, with a certain moisture resistance. It is suitable for the humidity environment that prevent the materials from clumping or deteriorating due to moisture during transportation.
5. Wear resistance and durability: Canvas conveyor belt with great wear resistance performance, it can keep a stable performance during the long time of transportation which reduce the frequency of replacement and repair that reduce the cost of using.
6. No toxic and odorless, it can be touched directly with the materials, it won be polluted the materials. Hence, it is able to be touched with the materials. It is suitable for food, pharmaceuticals with high hygiene requirements industries.
7. Strong applicability: Canvas conveyor belt is suitable for many kinds of materials and places, such as food, chemical, power, logistics and other industries. As well as dust material transportation in specific places such as air chute and aluminum factories.
In summary, canvas conveyor belt with its properties of high temperature resistance, high strength, wear resistance, air permeability play an important role in variety of industries that meet the conveying needs in different occasions.
