How Can Heat Resistant Conveyor Belting Reduce Maintenance Costs in High-Temperature Mining Applications?

This article discusses how heat resistant conveyor belting cuts maintenance costs in high-temperature mining. High temperatures cause rubber aging, interlayer delamination, and shortened splice life, leading to frequent belt failures, shutdowns, and rising maintenance costs. Multi-ply heat resistant belting, with its even tension distribution and heat-resistant cover, slows thermal aging, reduces deformation and delamination, and extends service life. Proper selection (matching temperature, tension, and conditions) and customization are key, as they lower unexpected shutdowns and total operational costs despite a possibly higher initial investment.
