What is the conveyor belt transverse reinforcement layer?

Conveyor belt transverse reinforcement layer refers to unvulcanized rubberized steel cord or tire cord fabric, used as a reinforced anti-tear layer.

The rubber is unvulcanized so that it can combine with the conveyor belt tightly after processing. The tear-resistant layer is used perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt.

Why should conveyor belts use a transverse reinforcement layer?

With the development of belt conveyors at high-speed, super-long distance, and large inclination, steel cord conveyor belts are widely used. However, the longitudinal tear resistance ability of the steel cord conveyor belt has not improved. A longitudinal tear is easy to happen, relying on the rubber itself.

Belt conveyor is the main artery of production and transportation in factories and mines. Once longitudinal tear occurs, it will bring huge direct and indirect losses. In particular, the loss is more significant for high-speed, super-long distance conveyor belts and large angle conveyor belts.

Belt longitudinal tear accidents happen occasionally. According to Australian statistics, a longitudinal tear may occur about 20% during the belt’s life. Conveyor belts worth one million or more may be destroyed in a short time and cause substantial economic losses in the accident.

How to use the belt transverse reinforcement layer?

The transverse reinforcement layer can be used perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt, either on the upper side of the belt core or on both sides of the belt core.

The transverse reinforcement layer of the conveyor belt integrates with the conveyor belt body, which significantly improves the conveyor belt’s tear-resistance and effectively prolongs the service life of the conveyor belt.

What are the advantages of unvulcanized rubberized steel cords as a transverse reinforcement layer?

• Use high-quality tire rubber with high rubber content.
• Cobalt salt is added to the rubber. So the steel wire and the rubber have stronger adhesion.
• The steel wire structure is firm. Solve the problem of the steel wire torsion.
• The rubber isolates the steel cord from the air and prevents the steel cord from corrosion.
• It is easy to operate.
• It prolongs the service life of the conveyor belt.

What are the advantages of using a conveyor belt with a transverse reinforcement layer?

• Effectively prevent the longitudinal tear of the conveyor belt.
• Effectively improve the impact resistance of the conveyor belt.
• Effectively increase the intensity of the conveyor belt.
• Extend the life of conveyor belts.
• Improve the overall quality of conveyor belts.

In addition, since the transverse reinforcement layer is made of high-quality tire rubber, the rubber-coated steel cord can be more closely integrated with the conveyor belt body.

The overall tensile strength of the conveyor belt increased obviously so that the conveyor belt could bear more force. The rubberized steel cord is widely used as the transverse reinforced tear-resistant layer in the corrugated rib conveyor belts and bucket elevator conveyor belts.

What kind of conveyor belts need to use transverse reinforcement?

• Conveyor belts need to work with high strength, long-distance and large capacity.
• Conveyor belts need to withstand the impact of falling chunks of material.
• Corrugated edge conveyor belt.
• Bucket elevator conveyor belts.

What is the structure of the transverse reinforcement layer?

There are two kinds of transverse reinforcement layers, unvulcanized rubberized steel cord and tire cord fabric.

The unvulcanized rubberized steel cord is made of high-quality copper-plated steel cord and unvulcanized rubber. It is suitable for anti-tearing steel cord conveyor belts, corrugated edge conveyor belts, bucket elevator conveyor belts, and steel cord conveyor belts that need to work with high strength, long-distance and large capacity.

It is formed by calendered cord fabric and unvulcanized rubber for tire cord fabric. The cord fabric we use is polyester with good impact resistance. According to customers ‘ requirements, the rubber can be natural rubber or synthetic rubber. It is suitable for fabric core conveyor belts.

How to choose the material of the transverse reinforcement layer?

The choice of transverse reinforcement layer material is different according to the core of the conveyor belts.

 The available selection for the steel cord conveyor belt is an uncured rubberized steel cord as an anti-tearing layer.

Ordinary canvas core conveyors and synthetic fiber core conveyors generally choose rubberized cord fabric as an anti-tearing layer.
