Heavy duty conveyor belt for ore

What is a heavy duty conveyor belt for ore

Heavy duty conveyor belt for ore is a continuous conveying equipment designed for high-intensity working conditions such as mines. It is mainly used to transport ore materials with large particle size, high density, sharp edges and corners and strong abrasion. Their core function is to stably and continuously transport the excavated ore, crushed stone or concentrate from the mining point to the processing plant, stockpile yard or loading point, greatly improving the efficiency and safety of material handling, while significantly reducing labor costs and the risk of transportation interruption. By optimizing the conveying path and speed, heavy duty conveyor belts ensure smooth ore flow and are an indispensable cornerstone for large-scale, continuous production in modern mining.

What are the advantages of heavy duty conveyor belts for ore?

Heavy duty conveyor belts used for ore transportation have high load bearing capacity and wear resistance, and can cope with large pieces of ore, high density materials and long term continuous operation. The belt body usually adopts a multi layer high strength canvas or wire rope core structure, which has strong tensile resistance and can effectively avoid tearing or belt breakage caused by material impact. At the same time, the thickening of the rubber surface improves the wear life, reduces the replacement frequency and maintenance costs.

In addition, heavy duty conveyor belts can achieve large inclination angles, high drop and long distance transportation in the supporting system, reduce intermediate transfer links, and improve overall transportation efficiency. In open pit mines and underground tunnels, heavy duty conveyor belts can adapt to harsh environments such as slippery, dusty or corrosive media to ensure the stability and safety of system operation. This type of conveyor belt is widely used in metal mines, non metallic mines and port bulk material loading and unloading, and is one of the key equipment for continuous transportation of bulk ores.

Ore industry: heavy duty conveyor belt system for ore

In the ore industry, the heavy duty conveyor belt system for ore transportation is a continuous conveying equipment system specially designed for conveying high density, large block and highly abrasive ore materials. It is usually composed of a heavy duty conveyor belt body, a drive device, a tensioning device, a roller system, a sweeper, an anti deviation device and a control system. Its core component is a high strength conveyor belt, which often uses a steel wire core or a multi layer canvas core material, and is equipped with a wear resistant, cut resistant and impact resistant covering rubber, which is suitable for high load, long distance and harsh environment operation.

This type of system is mainly used in open pit mines, underground mines, ore dressing plants and storage yards to achieve efficient transportation of ore from the mining face to the crushing, screening, storage and transportation links. Compared with traditional methods such as automobile transportation, the heavy duty conveyor belt system has significant advantages such as continuous operation, high degree of automation, low energy consumption, low operating cost, long transportation distance and strong adaptability to terrain. It has become a key equipment form for modern mining material transportation.

How to choose a suitable heavy duty conveyor belt for ore

Select according to the characteristics of the conveyed material:

① Block size and density: Large block size and heavy density ore (such as iron ore, copper ore) requires a high strength, impact resistant conveyor belt. It is recommended to use a steel cord conveyor belt or a thickened multi layer canvas core belt.

② Abrasiveness: For highly abrasive ores (such as metal ores, quartz ores), a high wear resistant cover rubber should be used; if high temperature or wet ores are conveyed, a special cover rubber material that is resistant to high temperatures or wet and slippery environments should be selected.

Match the conveyor belt structure according to the working parameters: For long distance and high drop conveying, it is recommended to use a steel cord core belt, which has low elongation, high strength, and stable operation. Calculate the bandwidth and speed according to the conveying volume, and pay attention to controlling it within a reasonable range (generally not more than 3.5m/s) to prevent material splashing or increased wear. The belt strength grade (such as ST1000, ST2000, etc.) needs to be selected according to the slope of the conveying line, the spacing between rollers, and the drive power.

Consider the on site operating environment: For open pit mines and operation in rainy and snowy environments, conveyor belts with cold resistant, waterproof and sun proof properties should be selected; for underground use, flame retardant, anti static, low smoke and halogen free materials are required.
