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.

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.

Steel cord reinforced conveyor belts are widely used in coal, electricity, mining, ports, cement, metallurgy, building materials and other industries. They are stable and suitable for long-distance high-load transportation. Steel cord reinforced conveyor belts should keep the surface clean and dry during transportation and storage, and should not be contaminated with mud, oil or chemical liquids. Direct sunlight and rain and snow should be avoided, because ultraviolet radiation and moisture erosion will accelerate the aging of rubber, causing it to lose flexibility and adhesion.

Multi ply belts are a kind of transportation tool used to transport various materials. Traditional conveyor belts cannot cope with high temperature environments. Our heat resistant conveyor belts are unique in design and material, and can adapt to high temperature working environments.
