Conveyor belts are very convenient modern equipment that is installed in various workshops, factories, factories, etc. In other words, in those places where it is necessary to deliver any parts, elements, products from one point to another within one object. Naturally, the main consumers of such devices are industrial enterprises. This can be both agricultural plants and enterprises related to heavy engineering.
Product Description
Conveyor belt is the main part that is part of any conveyor. Moving large flows of goods manually is irrational, difficult and quite a long time. That is why tapes have become very popular.
It is important to note that there is a wide variety of types of this product, therefore, when contacting the manufacturer about the purchase, the first question that needs to be solved is: what exactly will the company do? This is very important, since a certain type of tape is suitable for certain tasks.
Kinds
- General conveyor belt. This type is most often used, since it can be used for several purposes at once at different enterprises. In addition, products of this type can be equipped with rubber of three different classes, as well as differ in the number and types of fabric gaskets.
- Rubber fabric conveyor belt. This type is used in cases where it is necessary to deliver bulk, bulk and piece goods. It is applied together with conveyors of roller type. The structure of such tapes is different in that it consists of two layers. The top layer is considered working. It is made of rubber or rubberized fabric. The second layer, that is, the bottom, is always made of ordinary fabric. Rubber conveyor belt suitable for use in many enterprises.
- Transport tape rubber cable type. The design was most widely used only in the mining and metallurgical industries. This became possible due to the fact that it is characterized by high strength, low percent elongation, and it is also possible to operate in an environment where there is a sharp temperature drop.
Highly targeted tape types
- Food conveyor belts. As the name implies, the main industry of their use is food. This is due to the fact that the structure of the conveyor belt web does not affect the composition and quality of food products. Also, the product is characterized by a lower density, since a large carrying capacity is superfluous in the food industry.
- Shaft-type conveyor belts. The structure of this tape is a combination of ordinary fabric, as well as rubber. The products are characterized by high strength and density, since they are operated at great depths under quite extreme conditions, and are also under constant load.
- Conveyor belts of heat - resistant type. Most often, such elements for the conveyor are used in the metallurgical industry. This is due to the fact that in such an industry it is allowed to use only those materials that are able to withstand high temperature indicators.
- The last type is chevron ribbons. This coating has a rather specific purpose, since it is used only where cargo is delivered at an angle. However, the angle limit is 45 degrees. The performance of such tapes increases precisely due to chevrons, which do not allow the cargo to crumble.
Conveyor belt TK-200
Currently, this type of transport tape is very popular. This is largely due to the fact that it can be used in almost all industries. This model is perfect for transporting bulk, bulk materials in industries such as coal, mining, metallurgy, etc. TK-200 type fabric is used to produce such a tape. This material is a synthetic type. The nominal tensile strength of the material is 200 N / mm. The thickness of one gasket is from 0.9 to 1 mm. In addition, the upper part is covered with a rubber coating, which is called the lining. In addition, it can be placed on both sides of the tape.
Conveyor belt GOST 20-85
The manufacture of all transport-type products is governed by this standard. This document establishes all the basic requirements for products.
All manufactured material should be divided into four groups, depending on where exactly the tape will be used. In addition, it should be divided into types such as frost-resistant, heat-resistant, flame-resistant, general purpose. Separately, tapes used in the food industry should be manufactured. In addition, depending on the conditions for further use, some types are also divided into several categories. For example, the tapes of the first group are divided into two additional categories.
Products used in especially heavy industries should be additionally equipped with a fabric lining located under the rubber working surface. The nominal strength should be 200-300 N / mm.
Acceptance of goods
Since some tapes are operated in extreme conditions, there are certain rules for the acceptance of goods that exclude the possibility of marriage. Firstly, they are accepted only in batches. A batch can be a tape having the same structure, and also the total length of which does not exceed 10 thousand meters. Secondly, if after checking unsatisfactory results were obtained, then additional tests need to be carried out on a double sample of tapes from the same batch. If this check also gives unsatisfactory results, then the manufacturer will have to check each tape separately.
Another very important point is the test of the flammability of flame-retardant tapes. The manufacturer must conduct the tests together with the customer of this product. Conveyor belt 2.2 is a standard general purpose product. This material is used in those facilities where special qualities are not required, for example, frost resistance, heat resistance, increased strength, etc.
