In July last year, our company shipped a 40-meter, 1200mm-wide steel wire rope conveyor belt to a coal mine in the United States for the transmission and transportation of mineral materials.

The steel wire conveyor belt is a rubber conveyor belt with steel wire as the skeleton. 

  It has the advantages of high tensile strength, good impact resistance, long service life, small elongation in use, good groove formation, and good flexibility resistance. It is suitable for conveying materials over long distances, large distances, and high speeds. This product is composed of core glue, steel wire rope, covering layer and edge glue. 

  Wire rope conveyor belts are suitable for material transportation under tear-proof conditions in coal mines , mines, ports, electric power, metallurgy, building materials and other industries. They can be used for long-distance, large-span, large-volume and high-speed material transportation.

  The steel cord belt is a common conveyor equipment which widely used in mining, ports, building materials and other industries. The using life of the equipment is connect with many factors such as the using environment, maintenance and the manufacture’s quality management. We will focuous on the following features to discuss the steel cord conveyor belt in details.

1. The usage environment: During the time we use the steel cord conveyor belt which will be influenced by atmosphere, humidity, temperature. For example, use in a humid mining environment it easy to cause corrosion of the steel cord belt therefore reducing the using life. When using in a high temperature, the strength and the toughness of the steel cord conveyor belt will be decreased also the using life will be shorted too. Hence, reasonable select the using environment and necessary do the anti-corrosion and heat protection that can extend the steel cord conveyor belt using life.

2. Maintenance: It is really important for extending the using life of the steel cord conveyor belt. Checking and maintenance the conveyor belt usually that can handle the problems in time. So that we can avoid some minor malfunctions from developing into big problems. For examples, regularly check the wear degree of the steel cord and replace some severely worn parts in time. Make sure the conveyor belt is clean to prevent the impurities from damaging the steel cord belt,etc. Have a correct understanding and maintain strictly could extend the using life of the steel cord conveyor belts.

3.The quality management of the steel cord conveyor belt: Different manufactures have different quality control for the steel cord conveyor belt so the using life of steel cord conveyor belt will be different too. Choosing the products produced by high quality manufactures has more purer raw materials and more exquisite exquisite craftsmanship which can make the using life become longer. Hence, we should choose the good producer with good reputation so that we can guaranteed quality of products.

4. Usage  method and load: During the using time of the steel cord conveyor belt, we should use the appropriate usage method and reasonable load that could extend the conveyor belt using life. For example, it is prohibit to over the maximum load of the conveyor belt otherwise will over wear the conveyor belt. Avoid frequent start the engine or stop the engine to decrease the impact of steel conveyor belt. Avoid long time of continuous working and we have to give some rest time to the conveyor belt. Scientific and reasonable arrange the load and the using way that can extend the using life extremely.
