Most conveyor belt breaks aren’t caused by poor belt quality but by operating conditions and maintenance issues. Sharp material impact, hard starts, jams, misalignment, and neglected splices or idlers accelerate wear. Prevention depends on proper protection, monitoring, and standardized operation.

Choosing the right conveyor belt impacts efficiency and cost. Steel cord belts suit long-distance, high-tension conveying, while nylon fabric belts offer flexibility, wear resistance, and easy maintenance for complex systems.

Heat Resistant Conveyor Belts enable safe, efficient material handling across heavy industries, including mining, steel, cement, power, and ports, with high durability, wear resistance, and stable performance.

This article explains the safety factor of steel cord conveyor belts, how it’s calculated, typical industry ranges, influencing factors, and why choosing the right safety factor ensures reliability, long service life, and lower operating risk in heavy-duty applications.

Conveyor belts in mining and ports need efficient cleaning to reduce carryback, downtime, and safety risks. Brush cleaners outperform traditional methods, extending belt life, cutting costs, and improving site safety.

PU belts excel in heavy-duty, oily, cold-chain, or low-temp applications, while PVC belts often offer better chemical resistance, humidity stability, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness for light to medium loads in typical industrial environments.

Conveyor rollers, including gravity, powered, and MDR types, are key to system efficiency and durability. Choosing the right material, drive, and design—steel, plastic, rubber, or composite—ensures smooth, reliable, and low-maintenance operation across industries.

Anti-slip conveyor belts prevent rollback, spillage, dust, and downtime in chemical, mining, port, and bulk material lines. With higher incline capacity, better grip, and chemical-resistant rubber, they improve safety, efficiency, and overall conveying reliability.

Underground coal mines face serious risks from coal dust and methane gas, where sparks or airborne dust can cause fires and explosions. To address these hazards, specialized conveyor belts with dust‑free and explosion‑proof features are essential. Hengyi’s flame‑retardant mining belts are designed to reduce risks at the source, using three core protective layers: strong flame resistance that self‑extinguishes quickly, anti‑static properties to prevent sparking, and a compact structure that minimizes dust leakage. Some models also include sidewalls for better containment. These belts are widely used in main haulage roadways, mining faces, coal bunkers, and inclined conveying lines, providing enhanced safety and stability. When selecting a mining belt, it is important to choose certified products, match the belt type to site conditions (PVC for dry areas, PVG for wet conditions), and avoid low‑quality alternatives that may create hidden dangers. Hengyi’s tested and reliable belts help mines maintain safer, more efficient operations while protecting workers and reducing potential losses.

Heavy nylon conveyor belts, widely used in mining, ports, and building materials, are constructed with multiple layers of high‑strength nylon fabric and abrasion‑resistant rubber to handle heavy loads, impact, and harsh conditions. However, poor operation and maintenance can lead to frequent downtime and increased costs. Key strength grades include NN100 to NN500, with total tensile strength determined by the number of plies. Hengyi belts offer strong inter‑ply adhesion and 20–50% longer service life than standard products. Common causes of failure include overloading, misalignment, improper startup, and unsuitable environmental resistance. Proper use—such as controlling load, ensuring alignment, reducing impact, and selecting appropriate cover materials—can prevent over 80% of unexpected damage. Regular maintenance, including daily cleaning, weekly tension checks, monthly wear inspections, quarterly splice reviews, and annual professional testing, helps extend belt life by 20–30% and control long‑term expenses. Hengyi provides reliable, durable, and environmentally friendly conveyor belt solutions, along with technical support for selection and maintenance.

Hengyi’s flame resistant conveyor belts are essential for safety in high‑risk industries such as coal mining, power generation, metallurgy, and chemical processing. Designed with special PVC/PVG materials and a solid woven structure, these belts prevent flame spread and reduce fire hazards, especially in underground mines. Key features include reliable flame resistance, stable anti‑static performance to minimize explosion risks, and strong tensile and tear resistance for heavy‑load durability. PVG belts offer higher transverse strength, better tear resistance, and improved performance in wet or inclined conditions. The fully impregnated structure also provides excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance, ensuring long service life in harsh environments. Compared with heavy steel cord belts, Hengyi’s lightweight solid woven belts reduce energy consumption and equipment costs, and are environmentally recyclable. Hengyi provides customized solutions and technical support to meet specific mining requirements.

Corrugated sidewall conveyor belts address major limitations of standard flat belts in bulk material handling. Traditional belts struggle with steep angles, space constraints, spillage, rollback, and dust, especially in mining, ports, cement, and metallurgy. Sidewall belts use a reinforced base, tall flexible sidewalls, and optional cross cleats to create enclosed “pockets,” enabling inclines from 30° to 90° and even vertical lifting. This design drastically reduces material loss, dust emissions, and space requirements while boosting throughput by 20–50% and cutting installation and operational costs. Hengyi’s sidewall belts feature high‑quality polyester cores for durability, minimizing downtime and improving overall conveying efficiency in harsh industrial environments.
