This broad group of belting is typically made of an inner carcass and an outer shield. The materials used for these belts have rubber belt, PVC, Urethane, Neoprene, Nylon, Nitrile, Polyester, leather, and others. Belt properties determine the conveyor belt’s primary uses. For instance, mining and milling industries use rubber belt to handle bulk materials including raw ore and aggregates. Grocery stores usually use PVC conveyor belts, and airports may use neoprene, polyester, or rubber belt for baggage handling.

Rubber belts are used in mining projects as well as other industrial applications. As an inexpensive alternative to the PVC belts, rubber belts provide astute anti-corrosion properties. Rubber belts offer flexible support for delivering materials. However, these belts are not resistant to tearing and impact damage as the solid woven belts.

Food Industry Conveyor Belts

Much like the metal conveyor belts, food industry belts are made primarily from metal composites. The food industry often requires complex conveyor systems for the various stages of the food production process, so each wire belt system needs to be customized for the operation at hand.
