Juming Industrial Conveyor Belt
Conveyor belt is a device made of a continuous belt-like material used to transport materials, goods, or other objects between different locations. it consists of a set of pulleys and the belt material, allowing movement in horizontal, inclined, or vertical directions. conveyor belts are typically made of flexible and wear-resistant materials such as rubber, polymers, or metals. powered by a drive unit, usually an electric motor, conveyor belts serve as efficient and automated tools for material transportation. they find wide applications in industrial production, logistics, mining, construction, agriculture, and other fields.
The main function of conveyor belts is to transport materials from one location to another, replacing manual handling or other forms of material transportation. They can convey materials between different processes on factory production lines, such as loading, sorting, packaging, and assembly. Additionally, conveyor belts are also used in loading and unloading goods, warehousing, sorting, and distribution centers, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of logistics operations.
The conveyor belts you need can be designed and customized to specific requirements. For example, we can provide conveyor belts with special surface textures or grooves to offer additional friction, preventing material slippage or misalignment. Additionally, some conveyor belts can be equipped with auxiliary devices such as sensors, weighing systems, and sorters to achieve more precise control and automation.
The conveyor belts exported by Juming are widely used in various industrial sectors and applications worldwide, covering a diverse range of scopes and purposes. The efficiency of conveyor belt systems contributes to increased productivity, cost savings in labor, and reduced delivery time. They can swiftly and reliably move large quantities of goods for transportation, further assembly, or storage.
The main reasons for using such a wide range of conveyor systems are to save labor costs, efficiently handle goods, and protect products and materials from damage. They provide the highest quality service at the lowest cost. Just as we provide our services for your project at the lowest cost while ensuring the highest quality.
1. Flat Belt Conveyor: Used for horizontal or slightly inclined material transportation, commonly found in industrial production lines and logistics fields. It is the most common type of conveyor belt.
2. V-Belt Conveyor: V-shaped conveyor belt is made by V-shaped molding and directly integrated into the cover layer of the conveyor belt to increase the friction between the conveyor belt and the conveyed material.
3. Spiral Conveyor: It utilizes a spiral structure to push or elevate materials, suitable for conveying and discharging powdered or granular materials.
4. Gravity Roller Conveyor: It utilizes the weight of the materials to slide and transport them on a horizontal or inclined surface. It is commonly used for the conveyance and loading/unloading of lightweight materials.
5. Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor Belt: Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor Belt are designed with wave-shaped cleats on both sides of the belt to prevent material spillage due to site limitations or the need for high-angle material conveying. Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor Belt must be able to withstand high stress and repeated flexing that occur during high-capacity and high-angle conveying.

Chapter Third:The raw material of the conveyor belt
Regardless of the materials used, our company Hebei Juming Import And Export Trade Co., Ltd. manufactures various types of conveyor belts that are designed to efficiently and smoothly move products, materials, supplies, and components from one place to another. The selection of the appropriate conveyor belt type is determined based on the characteristics of your products. Although there are many different materials used in the production of our conveyor belts, they can be categorized into five major categories: metal, plastic, rubber, textile, and leather. Each category has its own subgroups and variations.
1. Metal Conveyor Belt: Metal conveyor belts are typically made from metal materials such as steel and stainless steel, offering high strength and durability. They are suitable for heavy-duty and high-temperature environments, capable of handling heavy loads and resisting corrosion. Metal conveyor belts are commonly used in industries such as mining, metallurgy, and automotive.
2. Plastic Conveyor Belt: Plastic conveyor belts are usually made from polymer materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene, and PVC, known for their lightweight, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. They are suitable for applications in industries with high cleanliness and hygiene requirements, such as food processing and packaging.
3. Rubber Conveyor Belt: Rubber conveyor belts are made from rubber materials such as natural rubber and synthetic rubber, exhibiting good elasticity, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. They are suitable for various industries including mining, metallurgy, construction, and agriculture.
4. Fabric Conveyor Belt: Fabric conveyor belts are made from textile materials such as cotton, nylon, and polyester, offering good flexibility and tensile strength. They are suitable for conveying lightweight and medium-weight materials, commonly used in industries such as packaging, logistics, and warehousing.
5. Steel Cord Conveyor Belt: This is a special structure conveyor belt with a core composed of multiple steel cords. It possesses high strength, wear resistance, tensile strength, and high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for long-distance, high-load, and high-speed transportation applications. Steel cord conveyor belts can withstand high tension, high speed, and heavy loads, while maintaining wear resistance, tensile strength, and high-temperature resistance. The advantages of steel cord conveyor belts include excellent strength and durability, low energy consumption, as well as long service life and reliable operation.

Chapter Four: Working Principle of Conveyor
The working principle of a conveyor is based on the continuous cyclic operation of the conveyor belt. It mainly consists of the following components:
1. Drive System: Usually consists of motors, gears, or hydraulic systems, providing power to drive the conveyor belt.
2. Conveyor Belt: Composed of a flexible belt material such as rubber, plastic, or fabric. The conveyor belt is connected to the drive system and support devices, forming a closed loop.
3. Support Devices: Used to support and maintain the stable operation of the conveyor belt. It can be rollers, slides, chutes, or brackets, among others.
The working principle of the conveyor belt is as follows:
1. Power Transmission: The drive system provides power and transfers rotational force to the conveyor belt, initiating its movement.
2. Material Loading: Place the material to be conveyed at the feeding end or loading area of the conveyor belt.
3. Operational Cycle: The conveyor belt starts running according to the set speed and direction, moving the material along its length from the feeding end to the unloading end.
4. Material Unloading: At the unloading end or target location, the material is removed from the conveyor belt, which can be done through gravity, mechanical devices, or operator intervention.
5. Cycle Repeats: The conveyor belt continues running, moving the next batch of material from the feeding end to the unloading end, repeating the cycle.
The speed and direction of the belt can be adjusted as needed to accommodate specific material conveying requirements. Auxiliary devices such as guiding systems, rollers, side guards, and sensors can be used to ensure stability, positioning, and safety of the material during the conveying process.
