Fabric reinforced conveyor belt
Fabric reinforced conveyor belts are made by embedding one or more layers of high-strength textile fabric layers (such as polyester, nylon, cotton canvas, etc.) in a rubber base material, and compounded through processes such as calendering and vulcanization. The fabric layer plays a role in enhancing tensile strength and tear resistance.
Product Description
The fabric reinforced conveyor belt is a flexible composite conveyor belt made of fabric as a reinforcing skeleton material and rubber or plastic as a base material. Its belt core (the load-bearing frame of the belt) is made of one or more layers of woven fabric. This fabric reinforcement structure gives the belt excellent tensile strength, elongation (stretching) resistance and the ability to withstand the stress of conveyed materials. The fabric core is usually wrapped in a rubber or other elastomer or plastic outer layer to protect it from wear, abrasion, moisture and the impact of conveyed materials.
Different types of fabric reinforced conveyor belts
Fabric reinforced conveyor belt |
Sidewall conveyor belts |
Steel cord conveyor belts |
|
|
|
Fabric conveyor belts, or textile conveyor belts as they are also called, are used principally for heavy-duty, abrasive materials |
Sidewall conveyor belts are a space-saving and energy-efficient way to transport material |
Steel cord conveyor belts have high wear resistance and are mainly used for long-distance transportation, heavy loads and transportation that requires high physical strength |
Aramid conveyor belts |
Chevron conveyor belts |
Pipe conveyor belts |
|
|
|
Long lasting, energy saving belts |
Effectively keep loose material in place, even at steep angles with our chevron conveyor belts |
Pipe conveyor belts, or tube conveyor belts, are used for enclosed material transport |

What is the structure of fabric reinforced conveyor belts
Fabric reinforced conveyor belts are usually composed of an upper covering rubber layer (contacting materials, wear-resistant and anti-corrosion), a fabric skeleton layer (enhancing the tensile strength of the belt body), a lower covering rubber layer (supporting the contact roller, wear-resistant and fatigue-resistant), a bonding layer (in a multi-layer belt, connecting each fabric layer) and an edge glue (optional, to prevent delamination).
What are the characteristics of fabric reinforced conveyor belts?
Fabric skeleton layer enhances strength: high-strength synthetic fibers (such as EP, NN, CC) are used as skeleton materials; enhance the tensile strength and tear resistance of the conveyor belt.
Multi-layer composite structure: upper and lower covering rubber layers and multi-layer fabric cores are combined and applied, and the number of layers can be customized according to needs (2 to 6 layers are common).
Layered structure, easy to identify damage: The structure of multi-layer fabrics can more easily judge the degree and scope of damage when local damage occurs.
Good impact resistance: The multi-layer fabric structure can disperse and absorb impact force, so that it has a certain impact resistance when conveying blocky or irregular materials, reducing damage caused by impact.
Wide applicability: By selecting different types of fabrics (such as cotton, nylon, polyester, aramid, etc.) and covering rubbers with different properties, fabric reinforced conveyor belts can adapt to various conveying environments and material properties, such as wear resistance, heat resistance, oil resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.

Mesh selection instructions
Mesh definition: Mesh refers to the number of mesh holes per inch (25.4mm) in length. The higher the mesh, the smaller the mesh hole and the smoother the surface.
Low mesh (10-30 mesh): suitable for large particles and heavy-loaded materials, such as ore and coal.
Medium mesh (30-60 mesh): general type, suitable for powdery and granular materials, balancing strength and filterability.
High mesh (60-80 mesh): suitable for fine materials, such as food, medicine, and electronic components, requiring high cleanliness.
Application of fabric reinforced conveyor belts
Fabric reinforced conveyor belts are widely used in continuous conveying operations of bulk materials in many industries due to their reasonable structure, stable performance and strong adaptability.
Mining and ore processing: used for the transportation of materials such as coal, metal ore, sand and gravel, bearing heavy loads and long-distance transportation, commonly seen in open-pit mines and underground operations.
Cement and building materials industry: transporting raw materials (such as limestone and clinker) in cement plants and sand and gravel production lines, adapting to high temperature and abrasive environments.
Metallurgy and steel: used for transporting high-temperature or heavy materials such as iron ore, coke, and steel slag. Some high-temperature resistant fabric reinforced conveyor belts can withstand extreme conditions up to 800°C.
Agriculture and food processing: in the transportation of grains, feed, and fertilizers, fabric reinforced conveyor belts are widely used due to their durability and low maintenance costs, and are suitable for continuous production.
Logistics and warehousing: used for sorting, loading and unloading of goods, fabric reinforced conveyor belts with skirt or baffle design improve logistics efficiency, and are commonly seen in express delivery and large warehouses.
Food processing: food-grade fabric reinforced conveyor belts are suitable for food transportation due to their smooth surface and easy cleaning, such as bread, meat, vegetables and other processing lines.
Automobile and electronics manufacturing: conveying parts or finished products in the production line, supporting precise positioning and rapid transportation, and improving production efficiency.
Chemical and energy: used to convey chemical raw materials, coal, biomass, etc. Some special fabric reinforced conveyor belts have oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties.
