Belt construction

Steel Cord Conveyor Belting

Longitudinal steel-cord reinforcement for high-tension, long-distance and high-capacity systems.

Product overview

Built around the duty.

Double Arrow steel cord conveyor belt cutaway — 1 Top cover · 2 Core bonding rubber · 3 Galvanised steel cords · 4 Bottom cover · 5 Sealed belt edges.

Steel cord belting uses a single longitudinal plane of steel cords as the load-carrying carcass. The construction combines high tensile capacity with low operating elongation, making it the primary choice for long overland, high-lift and critical mine-to-port conveyors.
