Although industry is progressing around the globe, the basic accessories needed for industry remain irreplaceable. One of the most typical products is the rubber conveyor belt. From the time it was invented, it has greatly improved productivity, changed the traditional human transportation method, and freed people from low-end manual labor, thus, rubber conveyor belts have also contributed to the reform of industry to a certain extent.
History of Rubber Conveyor Belts
The use of rubber conveyor belts can be traced back to the end of the 19th century, when the rubber transmission belts used by people were still very simple, just made of wooden boards, rollers and ropes, although the production method is very simple, but it did improve the production efficiency. Later, rubber belts were also improved by human ingenuity, from the most elementary transmission belts to the rubber belts that are widely used today.
Composition and Classification of Conveyor Belts
Composition of rubber conveyor belt, The belt consists of upper and lower cover rubber and belt core.
Classification of rubber conveyor belts: according to the rubber surface classification: heat-resistant, acid and alkali-resistant, cold-resistant, oil-resistant, flame retardant, antistatic, etc.; according to the classification of the belt core: ordinary fabric transmission belts, steel cord transmission belts.

1. Ordinary Fabric Conveyor Belt
It adopts natural rubber as rubber surface and cotton canvas or nylon canvas as belt core. The longitudinal breaking strength of nylon belt core is 140kn/m per layer, which is a kind of strong belt. The longitudinal breaking strength of cotton canvas as the core is 56kn/m per layer, which is an ordinary conveyor belt. The parameters to be customized are: number of layers of canvas Z, bandwidth B, thickness of cover rubber on working and non-working surfaces.
2. Wire Rope Conveyor Belts.
The core of the belt is made of steel wire rope core and the outer layer is covered by rubber. We can customize this type of transmission belt according to the technical parameters provided by the customer: diameter of the wire rope, number of wire ropes, bandwidth of the rubber, gap of the wire rope, thickness of the rubber covering on the top and bottom.
Performance of Rubber Conveyor Belt
Wire rope conveyor belt has the advantages of high strength, small elongation, good grooving, and long service life.
Through the above text, we have learned about the components of a rubber transmission belt and its main advantages. However, one point that is well worth making is that rubber conveyor belts can be flexibly cut and adjusted, and similarly, the parameters can be flexibly adjusted as required in production to meet the needs of different industries.
However, despite its many advantages and the important role it plays in the production process, rubber belts also have some problems that we cannot solve at the moment. For example, rubber belts are prone to wear and aging during long-term use, and need to be regularly serviced and replaced, a situation that is particularly evident in extreme operating environments. As a result, the market is flooded with products of varying quality, with no guarantee of duration or quality.
STERUBB has also identified this problem and makes every effort to help every purchaser solve the difficulties and problems they have encountered. We also guarantee the quality of every meter of product we provide to our customers because rubber belts belong to industrial consumables, and we hope to be able to cooperate with each customer for a long time through our strict quality control and service.
We also always believe that only by providing customers with satisfactory products, we can survive in the current fierce business environment.
