Errors in selecting conveyor belt can affect downtime, quality and safety of your products.<br />
<br />
There are various types of belt conveyor based on its usage, some important points to consider are:<br />
<ul>
<li>The size, weight and distribution of the product</li>
<li>The material the product is made of</li>
<li>How the product will be loaded on the conveyor (i.e. will there be impact loading?)</li>
<li>If the product’s orientation will change</li>
<li>The speed the product will be conveyed</li>
<li>Whether the product will travel on an incline and/or decline</li>
<li>The environment in which the conveyor will operate (i.e. Is it hot or cold, wet or dry, inside or outside, corrosive, etc.?)</li>
</ul>
<br />
Once you have a good understanding of your product and the environment it will operate in, you can select the proper belt. Below are the basic belt types available. (This is not by any means an exhaustive list. There are many other specialty belts available.)<br />
<br />
<h3>
General Purpose Belts</h3>
General Purpose Conveyor BeltThis wide group of belting is typically made of an inner carcass and an outer cover. The materials used for these belts include rubber, PVC, Urethane, Neoprene, Nylon, Nitrile, Polyester, leather and others.<br />
<br />

<br /></h3>
<h3>
Flat Wire Belting</h3>
Flat wire metal conveyor beltAs its name suggests, flat wire belting has a flat surface making it ideal for food handling. It is more economical at time compared to woven wire belting.<br />
<br />
Applications for this type of belting include:<br />

</ul>
<br />
Once you have selected the appropriate type of belt, be sure to also consider the specifics of how the belt can be cleaned and maintained, replaced or modified, and the costs associated with these.<br />
<br />
Again, this is not intended to be a complete list of conveyor belting, but is a guide to the most common types used in the industry today. If you have questions about which type of conveyor belt is right for your application, please contact me anytime.<br />

Advantages of using a belt conveyor including:<br />
<ol>
<li>The cost of the transfer of material to be lower compared to other tools</li>
<li>Do not need a lot of places to install the Conveyor Belt</li>
<li>Provide continuous displacement in a fixed amount</li>
<li>Reducing air pollution because it is not necessary vehicle or other device that is driven by humans</li>
<li>It can be calculated how much material can be moved in a certain time span</li>
<li>Reduce the number of accidents because the operator simply moving through the control panel without having to haul material moved</li>
</ol>
<br />
Capacity and conveyor belt speed can be set to move the material based on the needs. Maintenance and easy operation make conveyor belt as the transfer machine material that is very reliable.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The world's longest conveyor belt</h3>
During the 1920s, the general conveyor belt, and also experienced tremendous changes. A conveyor belt or conveyor belt used in the coal mine for coal handling run for more than 8kms, and made using a cotton lining and a rubber cover. Ban longest or conveyor belt now in use is 60 miles long, in the phosphate mines of Western Sahara.<br />

Compared to transport by truck, wagon or cart, belt conveyor has proved to be a reliable method and save costs for material removal.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Working principle of belt conveyor</h3>
The working principle is the conveyor belt transports the material that is on the belt, where the feed or inlet on the side of the tail using a chute, and after arriving in the head material spilled as a result of belt-turn. Belt driven by the drive / head pulley using a motor. Head pulley belt pull with the principle of friction between the surface of the drum with the belt, so that the capacity depends on the frictional force.<br />
<br />
Belt conveyor proven capable of transporting material varying from large, heavy, sharp bumps, fine particles, wet, sticky, mud, powder, sand, potato chips, wood logs, wood chips, and others.<br />
<br />

<br />
Of all the material handling system, belt conveyor operates at a lower cost, low-power, low maintenance costs, low power, and a little labor.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Function conveyor belt</h3>
Conveyor belt function is to transport / transport material from one place to another (hooper and bulk storage)<br />
<br />
Conveyor belt system consists of six main parts:<br />
<ol>
<li>Belt, no moving parts to transport the material</li>
<li>Support systems, strut round the conveyor belt</li>
<li>Pulley-pulley, drive belt lap and voltage controller</li>
<li>Drive unit, the driving force is transferred to the belt</li>
<li>Frame, steel construction which supports the whole fabric belt system</li>
<li>Chute, a material loading and shed</li>
</ol>
<br />

Main elements of belt conveyors</h3>

<br />
Other additional components that are used for operational maximize belt conveyor system are:<br />
<ol>
<li>Ballast (take-up or counter weight), or so-called gravity pulley function is to regulate the voltage and prevent belt slippage at the driving pulley for growing longer belt</li>
<li>Tripper, is the part that serves to regulate the spill material so they are flush, use the belt in bulk storage</li>
<li>Belt cleaner, serves to clean the belt from dirt falls into the inner side and bottom of the material on the belt after the spill</li>
<li>Skirtboard, serves to retaining material on the spill to keep it out of the chute in the belt</li>
<li>Holdback, function to prevent the belt so as not rotating opposite if the current belt or die suddenly stopped</li>
<li>Emergency stop, to stop the belt spontaneously</li>
<li>The vacuum cleaner to suck the dust flying around belt caused by dust material</li>
<li>Roof and wall protectors, used on an open area so that the material is not damaged.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<ol></ol>
<h3>
Specifications conveyor belt</h3>
The strength of the conveyor belt is not seen from the thickness, but seen from the number of ply (amplifier). In general, the construction of belt conveyor consists of three main components:<br />

<br />
<ol>
<li>Cover Rubber<br />Cover rubber is a synthetic rubber coating that has a high elasticity and abrasion resistant. Cover rubber layer serves to protect the amplifier from a bulker, friction and impact of materials at the time of loading in order to ply not damaged. Cover rubber consists of top cover and buttom cover</li>
<li>Tie Rubber<br />Tie Rubber is rubber layer between the ply. Tie Tie rubber is also often called atu Skim rubber gum. Tie rubber ply serves to attach to one another on the fabric belt </li>
<li>Reinforcement - Layers amplifier (Ply)<br />Reinforcement is a layer of reinforcement for conveyor belt itself. Force or tension on the belt reinforcing layer used depends. In general, the reinforcing layer is made of fibers (caracas) and steel cord.</li>
