Conveyor Belts Used In The Tire Industry

The tire industry's production process involves a variety of conveyor belts, which are mainly used for raw material transportation, production process transmission, and finished product handling. Choosing the right conveyor belt can improve production efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure the stability and quality of tire manufacturing.

Common conveyor belt types and functions in the tire industry

Canvas conveyor belt (cotton canvas/nylon canvas/polyester canvas)

Purpose: used to convey raw materials such as rubber and carbon black.

Features: high tensile strength, wear resistance and heat resistance, suitable for harsh environments.

PVC/PU conveyor belt

Purpose: suitable for tire molding and semi-finished product transportation, such as tread, carcass and other component transmission.

Features: oil resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, smooth surface and not easy to adhere to rubber.

Rubber conveyor belt (ordinary rubber/heat-resistant rubber)

Purpose: used for high-temperature vulcanization process and large material handling in tire manufacturing process.

Features: high temperature resistance, wear resistance, suitable for heavy-duty conveying operations.

Wire rope conveyor belt

Purpose: used for long-distance transportation of raw materials or semi-finished products, such as transportation of carbon black, sulfur, rubber particles, etc.

Features: strong load-bearing capacity, high impact resistance, suitable for heavy-load conditions.

Felt conveyor belt (seamless felt belt)

Use: used in tire calendering, cutting, vulcanization and other processes to prevent workpiece adhesion.

Features: soft, scratch-resistant, good high-temperature stability, suitable for precision transmission.

Modular plastic conveyor belt

Use: suitable for tire molding lines, such as the transportation of molded tire blanks.

Features: corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, suitable for automated production lines.

How to choose a suitable conveyor belt

Choose according to the characteristics of the conveyed material

Mixing process:

SCplus cloth belt and silicone belt have excellent high temperature resistance and good surface release:

Extrusion process:

SCplus cloth belt and three-felt belt have good high temperature resistance and just the right surface friction (to enhance the climbing section);

Calendering process:

SCplus cloth belt, felt belt and TPU belt are available. TPU belt is designed to be horizontally stable and not curled, and can be sealed to avoid fiber pollution;

Molding process:

SCplus PVC/TPU conveyor belt and cloth belt have suitable surface friction (to prevent rubber conveying from slipping), and the impregnation process prevents fiber pollution.

When choosing a conveyor belt for the tire industry, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the production process, material characteristics, conveyor belt performance and use environment. Reasonable matching of conveyor belt types can not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce maintenance costs and extend the service life of equipment.
