chevron conveyor belt for inclined conveyor
Chevron conveyor Belts are used to transport goods on inclines. A mesh pattern is inscribed into the top cover rubber to prevent the collapse or spilling of items conveyed. The special pattern also cushions impact and alleviates vibration, so the belt is suitable for conveyor breakable items.
Applications :
1. chevron cleated conveyor belt of light weight goods and packages.
2. Conveyance of breakable items (bottles, etc.) and items that might easily slide on an incline.
Note 1: Unsuitable for oily goods.
Note 2: Not for use with powders.
Features :
1. There is no bottom cover rubber on the belt so the coefficient of friction is less, and it is suitable for use on table runs.
2. The mesh pattern of the top cover rubber cushions impact, alleviates vibration and prevents slippage.
3. Inclined conveyance up to 30° is possible, depending on the items transported.
Grade M & N – General Purpose
Chevron conveyor belt is the most common type of rubber conveyor belt and is used when special properties are not needed to suit an application.
Grade N rubber is lower quality compared to Grade M. Grade M rubber has greater hardness, is more abrasion-resistant and is superior in strength when compared to Grade N. Therefore the only difference between Grade M and Grade N rubber is the quality of the rubber.
Grade F – Fire Resistant
Fire-resistant belting is usually used when transporting heated materials. Rubber has natural properties which can be ignited and burn.
Grade F rubber belting has added properties which increase the ignition temperature and increases resistance to fire.
An example of the use of Grade F rubber belts are at underground mines, coal mines and power stations. If a rubber conveyor belt were to catch underground, the smoke and air hazards could be potentially fatal, therefore fire-resistant belts are usually used to mitigate the risk.
Work at coal mines and power stations involve heat processes. Fire-resistant belts help to reduce the risk of the heated process causing the conveyor belt to ignite.
