How to choose PVC conveyor belt and rubber conveyor belt

The difference between PVC conveyor belts and rubber conveyor belts is that one is a light conveyor belt and the other is a heavy conveyor belt.

1、 Material and process

The PVC conveyor belt is mainly made of PVC material and polyester or blended fabric composite coating, scraping, and rolling. The main material is PVC material. It can be directly hot melt processed, with strong plasticity and a wide range of applications.

Rubber conveyor belts are mainly vulcanized with rubber and nylon cloth or cotton canvas. The main material is rubber. The connection adopts a secondary vulcanization process, which is relatively heavy and difficult to process.

2、 Differences in application fields

PVC conveyor belt belongs to light conveyor belt. It is an industrial conveyor belt product with good economy and wide application range, mainly used in light industrial production. For example: logistics sorting, 3C electronics, industrial automation, etc.

Rubber conveyor belts belong to heavy-duty conveyor belts. It is a heavy-duty conveyor belt product with good weather resistance and durability. Mainly used in the production of heavy raw materials. For example: coal conveyor belt, ore conveyor, grain conveyor, etc.

3、 Comparison and selection

1. Application Scenario

When choosing a suitable product, first consider the application scenario.

Product factors: weight, volume, form, temperature, acidity, alkalinity, etc.

Environmental factors: indoor and outdoor, temperature and humidity, differences between the north and south, annual temperature difference, etc.

2. Mechanical design

Good equipment requires high-quality conveyor belts

Budget factors: total equipment price, equipment quality assurance, equipment subsequent maintenance, etc.

Structural factors: drum diameter, roller/pallet, conveying distance, motor power, slope size, etc.

3. Comprehensive consideration

The final comprehensive factors are many, from design to decision-making, preferences, and so on.

As a conveyor belt manufacturer, we are considering continuously optimizing more suitable conveyor belt products. Summarize, optimize, and recommend more suitable conveyor belt products to users through continuous application cases.
