About Conveyor Belts

Conveyor belts are used in a wide variety of material transport applications such as manufacturing, food processing, and heavy industry. Belt construction and materials are often application-specific. Belt materials and configuration vary for such specific uses as roofing shingle conveying, bakery oven belts for pies and pizzas, quarry gravel transport, and a very wide variety of others. Belt dimensions are frequently customizable to match the user's specifications or application needs. Conveyor belts are available for a wide range of applications and media transportation. Commercial applications include: General-purpose belting is rated for general conveying or power transmission. This is a manufacturer rating indicating a variety of uses. Agricultural belting is designed for agricultural applications including silage transfer, farm equipment belts, etc. Retail belts used are for commercial purposes such as checkout counters or inventory transfer. Construction belting for materials such as roofing shingles or plywood, or heavy-duty belt designed for use on construction equipment. Elevator conveyor belts are typically used in vertical applications with additional safety factors for bucket attachments and holes for meshing with drive and tracking components. Food and beverage processing belts are designed and rated for use with food or beverage processing applications. Characteristics often include non-absorbent material and easy cleanability. Forest products are designed for use in the logging, sawmill, tree farm, and related industries. Mining and quarrying belts are typically very heavy-duty for applications in mines and quarries. This may include transport of such materials as ore, stone, tailings, gravel, aggregate, etc. High temperature belting is designed from materials that can safely tolerate extreme temperatures, or is designed to transfer high temperature materials. Diverse applications for this type of belting include oven conveyor belting and conveyance of heat-treated parts. Inclined conveyor belts are designed for use in conveyance of material up an incline, or, less frequently, down an incline. Manufacturing and fabrication belting is designed for use in factory production lines. This category includes belt designed for specific fabrication applications such as semiconductor chip manufacturing. Belting for packaging operations is typically abrasion resistant for use with cardboard, package paper, etc. Power transmission belting is designed and rated for use in power transmission applications - engine belts, belting for power takeoffs, industrial machinery such as lathes, etc. Belting is also used in the pulp and paper industry to transfer pulp, paper, or paper products. In addition to the listed forms, custom conveyor belts can be designed for special applications.

About Flat Belts

Flat belts are used in power transmission and conveying systems. They are noted for their power transmission efficiency, cost effectiveness and ease of installation and use. Typical applications include conveyors, compressors, machine tools, and other heavy industrial equipment.

About Timing Belts, English Pitch
Timing (synchronous) belts mate with same-pitch timing pulleys in power transmission systems in which maintenance of speed ratio is an important design consideration. A timing pulley transmits force to the belt via evenly spaced grooves which mate with the teeth in the belt. These same grooves and teeth prevent belt slippage. Synchronous belt drives are highly efficient. The belts come in a wide variety of materials and reinforcement materials. Imperial pitch timing belts have a trapezoidal tooth form whose spacing (pitch) is based on inch measurements.
