The structure of EP conveyor belts plays a crucial role in their performance. These belts are made from multiple layers of synthetic fabric, with polyester in the longitudinal direction and polyamide in the transverse direction. This combination provides strength, flexibility, and resistance to stretching.
Each layer is bonded with a rubber compound to enhance adhesion and protect the fabric from external elements. The top cover is designed to resist wear and impact, while the bottom cover provides additional protection against abrasion.
The core of the belt consists of layers of EP fabric, which determine its tensile strength and flexibility. The number of fabric layers can vary depending on the application and load requirements. This multi-layer structure allows the belt to handle heavy loads while maintaining dimensional stability.
The rubber covers can be customized for different working environments. For instance, heat-resistant, oil-resistant, and flame-retardant covers are available to meet specific operational needs. This versatility makes EP conveyor belts suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
