Belt Technical
Covers
Covers are used in conveyor belt constructions in order to protect the base conveyor belt carcass and, if possible, to extend its service life. In addition, covers do provide the finished belt with a wide variety of desirable properties, including the following: A. Textures 1. To increase friction 2. To increase inclination 3. To control product B. Cleanability C. A specific coefficient of friction D. A specific color E. Cut resistance F. Enhanced impact resistance, etc. G. Hardness H. Fire Resistance, Oil & Chemical Resistance

CUT EDGE V/s /MOLD EDGE

Historic belt constructions were highly susceptible to moisture and chemical attack because of their cotton carcass components. Accordingly, it was common to extend the belt covers over the edges of the belt in what is known as the molded edge construction. This type of manufacturing can be expensive because of the additional labor and machine time involved. Modern day belt constructions, with their high adhesion levels and synthetic carcasses, are considerably less susceptible to moisture and chemical attack, and do not require edge protection. They make possible the slit-edge belt distribution programs currently used in the Belting Industry. Costs are minimized since an 84" slitedge belt can be manufactured about as quickly (if not more so) as a 24" molded edge construction. Further, the labor involved is somewhat less.
