Conveyor Belt By Bharti Engineers & Contractors

An industrial conveyor belt is used to transfer goods from one point to another. An industrial conveyor belt usually consists of one or more layers of material. The most basic 2 layers of a industrial conveyor belt are an under layer of material called a carcass [to provide linear strength and shape] and an over layer called the cover. The carcass is often a cotton or plastic web or mesh. The cover is often various rubber or plastic compounds specified by the particular use for the belt. Covers can be made from more exotic materials for unusual applications such as silicone for heat or gum rubber when good traction is essential. Industrial conveyor belts are used in a wide variety of material transport applications such as manufacturing, food processing, and heavy industry, food and beverage processing, manufacturing, mining, packaging, and power transmission. Belt construction and belt materials are often application-specific. Some industrial conveyor belts are designed to transport commercial goods, construction materials, forest products, or pulp and paper.
