The conveyor system consists of multiple moving parts and components, including conveyor belts, rollers, winches, bearings, couplings, reducers, motors, fluid couplings, and scrapers. The main function of the entire system is to move materials from point A to point B. While each component has its unique function, the conveyor belt is undoubtedly one of the most important and often overlooked parts of the conveyor system.

■ What is a Conveyor Belt?

The conveyor belt is one of the most crucial components of the conveyor system, responsible for transporting bulk materials from the site to processing facilities or loading areas. Conveyor belts are typically driven by electric motors and are spliced and vulcanized according to actual needs. Traditional conveyor belts are composed of three layers: the top or cover layer is used for transporting products, the middle layer (also known as the carcass) provides support, usually made of metal or woven fabric, and the bottom is a cover layer. Depending on the actual application or environment, the composition of conveyor belts may include plastic or rubber compounds, fabric materials, and steel cables.
