Conveyor Belts & V-Belts
Belt Conveyor is a kind of conveying machine which transport materials from one place to another place continuously. Belt conveyor machine consist of conveyor frame, conveyor belt, conveyor pulley, conveyor rollers, tension devices, driving unit and other components etc. Belt conveyor system can transport materials in bulk and bagged, such as stone, sand, coal, concrete, cement, gravel, fertilizer, mineral ore, limestone, coke, sawdust, wood chip, bulk material, grain, corn flakes, carbon black, etc.
The most common types of belts are V-belts and timing belts. V-belts are the most common type of belt today, and as their name suggests, their cross-sectional shape comes in the form of a “V”. Generally endless, the “V” cross-sections of these belts lodge in the mating grooves of their corresponding V-belt pulleys, preventing slipping due to under-tensioning. In general, V-belts require less width and tension compared to flat belts.
