Steelcord Conveyor Belts

Abstract

Nowadays conveyor belts are used both in surface- and in underground-mining for the transport of mineral coal, brown coal, phosphate and ore. It is international use to produce these belts in widths of 800 to 3,200 mm and thicknesses of up to 400 mm. The implementation of a production plant of steelcord conveyor belts is based on the assumption that a production plant for rubber products, such as fabric conveyor belts, tyres or other large products is in existence and its machinery can be used for the production of the required rubber cover plates and core rubber sheets, such as calenders or roller head plants.
