Covers Rubber
Covers of natural or synthetic rubber are used in Conveyor Belt production to save base Carcass from wear, impact, decoration and other influence. They are compounded to meet particular service condition as Bras ion, Oil Heat, Flame, Chemical Resistant and Antistatic , Etc. cover type, quality and thickness are matched to services life to belt involved. Cover formulation for Belt manufacturing is determined by material to be environment in which belt will be operate.
Carcass
This consists one or more piles of textile fabric with rubber on each side to give adhesion & flexibility. Commonly used fabrics are, Nylon, Polyester and Cotton. Strength to move loaded belt and absorb are impact of impinging of material being loaded into Conveyor Belt.
Rubber Skim Coat:
Extra layer between piles is called Skim Coat. These are contributors to inter adhesion, Impact Resistance and play a significant role in determining belt load support and trough ability. Improper Skims can adversely affect belt performance and lead to ply separation..
Breaker Fabrics:
A special woven fabrics between cover and carcass improves cushioning, the gouging and tear resistant properties of cover rubber and protects Carcass from impact damages. The construction is recommended for use in belt handling primarily crushed and sized material which gives severe impact to belt when lumps drop at a loading point
