How does abrasion affect general purpose conveyor belts?

Image
  We all know that general purpose conveyor belts help in material handling processes in industries. What "materials" are we talking about here? Materials may include sand, gravel, stone chips, and other abrasive materials. These materials have a significant effect on rubber conveyor belts. Let us see how! Consequences of Abrasion on General Purpose Conveyor Belts 1. Surface wear Do you notice your general purpose rubber conveyor belting losing its shine? Well, that is because of abrasion. Carrying abrasive materials can make the surface layer wear out. 2. Fading Continuous transportation of abrasive materials is responsible for discoloring general purpose conveyor belts. 3. Tears and cuts Sharp objects can create punctures on the heavy duty rubber conveyor belt. As a result, the surface becomes uneven.  4. Reduced lifespan Continuous exposure to abrasive materials will create tears, cuts, wear out, and damage the general purpose rubber conveyor belting. Hence, they start to...

How are rubber conveyor belts beneficial for the food processing industry?

The food processing industry turns raw materials like grains, meats, dairy products into semi-processed materials. We get the food products by emulsion, blending, and other processes. Further, they involve packaging and labeling of the products. Thus, the industry requires efficient transportation systems to handle the processes smoothly.  How can you make processes easier in the food-processing industry? Have you ever wondered how rubber conveyor belts offer an advantage to this industry? Rubber conveyor belts have high load capacity. Moreover, they have extraordinary resistance against abrasion and chemicals. This makes them ideal for the food-processing industry. Check the blog to discover How are rubber conveyor belts beneficial for the food processing industry: The food processing industry involves conveying raw materials to finished products from one place to another. Conveying these materials eases the industrial processes to a great extent. Read the blog more to learn how ...
