MONSTER BELTING is the world standard in heavy-duty industrial conveyor belting. abrasiveness conveyor belt is innovative, straight-warp carcass construction surpasses traditional multiply belts in virtually every respect, creating a belt that has outstanding operational performance over a long life span. A single Polyester ply more than matches the strength of several traditional multiply layers.
The consumption/abrasiveness conveyor belt Polyester construction consists of extra-heavy strands of polyester running lengthwise, with nylon running crosswise. The strands are completely straight in both directions and are therefore not intertwined unlike traditional woven carcasses. This results in maximum protection of the warp through the weft, with minimal stretch, both lengthwise and crosswise. As there are no multiple plies, the result is a lightweight belt with maximum tensile strength.
Consumption/abrasiveness conveyor belt superior impact resistance
When compared to conventional multiply belts with a similar tensile strength, UsFlex stands out with its superior impact
resistance. The maximum impact energy of a single ply type 630/1 is comparable to that of a 4-ply EP belt type 1600/4.
superior rip resistance. EP conveyor belt has a rip resistance that is more than four times greater than conventional multiply belts that have a similar tensile strength. The rip resistance is not only superior in relation to the multiply EP belts, but also when compared to Solid Woven.
Grade A – Abrasion Resistant
Abrasion-resistant rubber, also known as Grade A, is used when the conveyed material is very rough and abrasive, and causes the rubber to wear from the belt too quickly. The conveyor’s specific cleaning system, such as brushes, scrapers and/or conveyor skirting, can also contribute to conveyor belt wear.
Grade A rubber is used when the wear of the conveyor belt would occur too quickly when using general purpose grades. Even though Grade A rubber is more costly than general purpose grades, the cost of removing and installing replacement belts frequently can be excessive. Therefore, it may be more cost effective to go with a higher-wear rubber.
An example of when you would use Grade A rubber belt would be on an iron ore conveyor. Iron ore is a very abrasive material and would wear away standard rubber quickly. Grade A rubber would give the conveyor belt a greater life and more up time on the conveyor.
Grade E – Static Electricity Conducting
As the name suggests, static electricity conducting rubber conveyor belting conducts static electricity produced during the transport and conveying process, and discharges the electric charge – usually into a grounding path.
Minimising sparks from static electricity is a necessity when in the presence of potentially explosive materials such gases, liquids, powder and dust because the risk of explosion can be deadly.
A common use of Grade E rubber belting is at a aluminium refinery. Aluminium can commonly discharge excess electrons which can cause a static electricity build up. Static electricity conducting belts are used to absorb the excess electrons and discharge them safely.
