Overview of steel cord conveyor belts for conveyor belt systems
Steel Cord Conveyor Belts for Massive Tasks
We know the enormous stress caused by high output. High performance conveyor belt systems which are permanently exposed to considerable stress and work at large centre distances, require reliable and wear resistant reinforcement with low elongation. germanBelt® steel cord conveyor belts are used in long conveyor belt systems and/or at low tension. They have, compared to fabric conveyor belts, a number of advantages as they combine excellent tensile strength and lateral elasticity even for deep troughs.

Structure of germanBelt® steel cord conveyor belts
Steel cord reinforcement:
The standard steel cords have been hot-dip galvanised and have diameters from 2.6 to 12.8 mm. They are manufactured in 7x7 or 7x19 designs (other designs are possible). Their design allows good rubber saturation and distribution.
Skim layers:
A special chemical process provides excellent rubber/metal adhesion in the steel cord conveyor belt. The design of the steel cords leads to outstanding adhesion that surpasses any standards. Good rubber saturation and high adhesion on each cord provide germanBelt® steel cord conveyor belts with extraordinarily high longevity.
Covers:
The covers’ abrasion resistance, tensile strength and elongation value depend on the quality of the chosen combination of covers of the steel cord conveyor belt.
Lateral reinforcements:
The steel cord conveyor belts’ reinforcements consist of lateral steel cords with very high elasticity, or of textile fabric. The lateral reinforcements are worked into the carcass or the cover.
Cover grades
| Grade | Application |
| W | anti-abrasive cover with good mechanical properties |
| X | abrasion and cut resistant cover for sharp-edged or lumpy material, highest requirements |
| Y | cover with good mechanical properties for standard applications |
| K | flame-retardant and anti-static for above ground and underground deployment |
| Other cover materials and details on request. | |
