Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:
What makes steel wire rope core conveyor belts suitable for long-distance transportation?
Steel wire rope core conveyor belts use a new type of structural steel wire rope as the tensile body, providing high tensile strength, low elongation, and good bending flexibility. These properties make them ideal for long-distance, high-capacity, and high-speed material transportation over single machine large spans.
Q:
How does rubber penetration improve the performance of the conveyor belt?
The new structural steel wire rope design allows core adhesive to penetrate sufficiently between each strand. This results in high bonding strength between rubber and steel wire rope, excellent rust resistance, reduced shear and twisting between strands, and outstanding dynamic fatigue resistance — all of which extend the product's service life.
Q:
What is a tear-resistant (horizontally reinforced) steel wire rope core conveyor belt?
This type of belt features a new steel wire rope as the longitudinal tensile body, with additional reinforcement layers — such as steel wire rope, steel wire cord, fiber rope, or fiber fabric — laid horizontally on one or both sides. This horizontal reinforcement significantly improves resistance to tearing and lateral damage.
Q:
How is the adhesion between rubber and the steel wire rope ensured?
The steel wire rope surface is galvanized, and a specially formulated rubber material with excellent adhesion performance is applied. This combination delivers high bonding strength, strong impact resistance, and prevents the rubber cover from falling off, ensuring a long and reliable service life.
Q:
Can X-ray inspection be performed on steel wire rope core conveyor belts?
Yes. Steel wire rope core conveyor belts support X-ray inspection, which allows for non-destructive internal examination of the belt structure. This capability helps identify potential damage or wear early, enabling preventive maintenance and helping to avoid safety accidents during operation.
Q:
Why does a steel wire rope core conveyor belt require a shorter tightening stroke?
Due to the low elongation characteristics of the steel wire rope core structure, the belt experiences minimal stretch under load. This means the tensioning system only needs a short tightening stroke to maintain proper belt tension, simplifying the conveyor design and reducing equipment footprint.
