Patterned Rubber Conveyor Belt from China Suppliers - High-Quality Factory Production
Introduction
A patterned conveyor belt is an inclined conveyor belt composed of a patterned covering adhesive on the working surface and a flat covering adhesive and belt core on the non working surface.
🏷 Pattern Conveyor Belt · Features
- Core materials: Ordinary cotton canvas (CC), polyester cotton blended canvas (CP), nylon (NN), polyester (EP), etc.
- Bandwidth: 300–800mm
- Pattern height: 5, 10, 15, 20mm | Pattern shape can be designed according to user requirements.
- Inclination angle: Suitable for conveying materials with an inclination angle of 0–40°, preventing material from sliding down.
Commonly Used Patterned Conveyor Belts
Herringbone Pattern
Feature
There are "human" shaped patterns on the belt surface that are higher than the belt body. The patterns can be open or closed, and each pattern can be divided into three types: high, medium, and low.
PurposeSuitable for conveying powdered, granular, and small materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 40 degrees, as well as bagged materials.
Striped Pattern
Feature
There are strip-shaped patterns on the belt surface that are higher than the belt body, and the patterns are divided into three types: high, medium, and low. Each type of pattern can be divided into sparse, dense, and other forms according to the arrangement spacing.
PurposeSuitable for horizontal conveying of packaging materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 30 degrees. If the groove is formed, it can replace the herringbone pattern.
Granular Pattern
Feature
There are granular patterns on the belt surface that protrude from the belt body or are embedded in the belt body, and the pits can also be made into square holes, edges, and cloth patterns.
PurposeConvex granular patterns are suitable for conveying soft packaging materials or materials that require gripping force (such as cardboard boxes) or non-sliding conveying.
The concave granular pattern is suitable for conveying granular materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 45 degrees.
Fan-Shaped Pattern
Feature
There are semi-circular (or 1/4 circular) patterns on the belt surface. When the tape is grooved, the pattern is intertwined into a fan-shaped (or semi-circular) shape, belonging to the high pattern category.
PurposeSuitable for conveying powder, particles, and block materials with a large inclination angle of ≤ 45 degrees.
📋
Other available patterns include: lawn patterns, fishbone patterns, diamond grid patterns, cross patterns, mesh patterns, inverted triangle patterns, horseshoe patterns, sawtooth patterns, small dot patterns, diamond patterns, snake skin patterns, cloth patterns, large frustum patterns, wave patterns, washboard patterns, straight patterns, golf patterns, large grid patterns, matte patterns, coarse texture patterns, grid patterns, etc. — suitable for different performance requirements in different working environments in the industrial field.
Composition and Variety
🔧 Composition
The patterned conveyor belt consists of two parts: the base belt and the patterned belt.
📦 Common Varieties
Due to different materials being transported and varying inclination angles, the required pattern shape and height are also different. The commonly used varieties include: herringbone, octagonal, fishbone, U-shaped, cylindrical, pockmarked, etc. — or designed according to user requirements, suitable for patterned conveyor belts for powder, granular, and block materials with an inclination angle of less than 30 degrees.
🛠 Maintenance of Patterned Conveyor Belts
- Keep the belt clean during transportation and storage; avoid direct sunlight or rain/snow immersion, and prevent contact with acids, alkalis, oils, and organic solvents. Maintain a distance of at least one meter from heating devices.
- Storage warehouse temperature should be maintained between 18–40°C, and relative humidity between 50–80%.
- During storage, the conveyor belt must be placed in rolls and not folded. Flip once every quarter during storage.
- Conveyor belts of different types and specifications should not be used together; adhesive bonding is recommended for their joints.
- The type, structure, specifications, and number of layers should be selected reasonably according to usage conditions.
- Running speed should generally not exceed 2.5 m/s. For large-block or high-wear materials and fixed unloading devices, low speed should be used as much as possible.
- The relationship between transmission drum diameter and fabric layers, the matching of transmission/reversing drums, and idler groove angle requirements should be reasonably selected per conveyor design regulations.
- Feeding direction should follow the running direction of the conveyor belt. Use a chute to minimize material fall distance; use buffer rollers at the receiving section to prevent leakage; equip soft material blocking plates to protect the belt surface.
Precautions
With the popularization of conveyor belts in industrial production, multiple varieties, high performance, lightweight, multifunctional, and long service life are key concerns for manufacturers. The following precautions should be taken when using conveyor belts:
- 1 Avoid the roller being covered by material, which may cause ineffective rotation. Prevent material leakage from getting stuck between the drum and the tape. Pay attention to lubrication of moving parts, but do not oil the conveyor belt itself.
- 2 Prevent the conveyor belt from starting under load.
- 3 If the conveyor belt deviates, timely measures should be taken to correct it.
- 4 When local damage is found on the conveyor belt, artificial cotton should be used for timely repair to prevent expansion.
- 5 Avoid the conveyor belt from being blocked by the frame, pillars, or block materials to prevent collision, breakage, and tearing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q
What is a patterned conveyor belt and what are its main uses?
A patterned conveyor belt features a raised or textured surface pattern on its working side, designed specifically for inclined conveying. It prevents materials from sliding back on the belt, making it suitable for transporting powdered, granular, block, or bagged materials at inclination angles of 0–40°.
Q
What types of patterns are available for patterned conveyor belts?
Common pattern types include herringbone, striped, granular, and fan-shaped patterns. Additionally, many specialty patterns are available such as fishbone, diamond grid, mesh, sawtooth, wave, golf, and more — each suited to specific industrial applications and inclination requirements.
Q
What core materials are used in patterned conveyor belts?
Patterned conveyor belts are commonly made with core materials such as ordinary cotton canvas (CC), polyester-cotton blended canvas (CP), nylon (NN), and polyester (EP). The choice depends on the specific load requirements, operating environment, and desired belt flexibility.
Q
What are the correct storage conditions for patterned conveyor belts?
Patterned conveyor belts should be stored in a clean, dry environment with a temperature between 18–40°C and relative humidity between 50–80%. They must be stored in roll form (never folded), kept away from direct sunlight, rain, and chemical substances such as acids, alkalis, and oils, and positioned at least one meter away from any heat source. Rolls should be flipped once per quarter.
Q
What is the maximum recommended operating speed for a patterned conveyor belt?
The running speed of a patterned conveyor belt should generally not exceed 2.5 meters per second. For materials with large block sizes, high abrasiveness, or when fixed unloading devices are used, a lower operating speed is strongly recommended to extend belt life and reduce wear.
Q
Can patterned conveyor belts of different specifications be used together?
No. Patterned conveyor belts of different types and specifications should not be used together on the same system, as mismatched belts can cause uneven loading, premature wear, and safety hazards. For belt joints, adhesive bonding is the recommended method to ensure a secure and consistent connection.
