The classification of conveyor belt has many bases, such as material, size, characteristics and light and heavy. Different materials and characteristics of conveyor belt application scenarios are different, misuse will damage the conveyor belt, reduce its service life. Therefore, we must understand the differences between different types of conveyor belts when purchasing. The following conveyor belt manufacturers take you to understand the difference between light and heavy conveyor belt.

A, material

Light conveyor belt, the general selection of material is PVC, PU, silica gel, teflon, etc., the material itself non-toxic and tasteless, can be in direct contact with the conveying. Certain formulations may be changed to enhance certain performance.

Heavy conveyor belt, material mainly rubber, smell, easy to produce toxic gas, suitable for conveying ore, sand and so on.

Second, the decorative pattern

The light conveyor belt has many patterns, such as grass grain, diamond grain, word grain, cloth grain, checkered grain, etc., according to the different conveying environment, choose different patterns.

Heavy belt pattern is less, mainly herringbone grain, grass grain, plane, suitable for rock blasting and other harsh environment.

Third, the thickness of the

There are many kinds of light conveyor belt thickness, from the thinnest 0.1mm to the thickest 10mm, according to the size of the conveying drum, choose the right conveyor belt.

The thickness of heavy conveyor belt is generally more than 7mm thick heavy.

Four, the use of environment

Light conveyor belt is suitable for indoor use, suitable for room temperature environment, according to the different conveying temperature, can change the formula, the production of cold conveyor belt or high temperature conveyor belt.

Heavy duty rubber belt formula is stable, generally used for outdoor transportation, suitable for harsh environment.

Five, applicable industry

Light conveyor belt, mainly used in food, beverage, medicine, chemical, printing, wood, textile, packaging, ceramic stone, electronics, instrumentation, tobacco and other conventional industries of the material handling system.

Heavy conveyor belt, mainly used in mines, ports, power plants, cement plants, steel plants, granaries and other conveying materials heavy, high strength requirements of the conveying system.
