Conveyor belts carry materials on conveyors and are the key components of conveying equipment that come into direct contact with the materials being transported. Any problem with a conveyor belt will directly affect the operation of the conveyor and disrupt normal production and daily operations. Below is an introduction to a common type of conveyor belt.

Conveyor belts serve to carry materials on conveyors and are the key components in conveying equipment that come into direct contact with the materials being transported. Any issues with the conveyor belt will directly affect the operation of the conveyor and disrupt normal production and daily operations. Below, we will discuss a common problem with conveyor belts: side grooves.

Many issues arise during the use of conveyor belts, such as the formation of side grooves—a very common problem. This significantly impacts the performance of the conveyor belt.

The occurrence of side grooves is generally attributed to two factors: formulation and manufacturing process;

Formulation: This refers to the formulation of the sidewall rubber. If its flowability is poor, it cannot achieve co-vulcanization with the backing rubber and cover rubber;

Processing: This refers to the molding process of the conveyor belt blank. If the sides of the blank are uneven or the side rubber application process is not performed as required, gaps may form between the side rubber and the belt blank, leading to the aforementioned issues;

Finally, the vulcanization process: If the above two factors are not at fault, improper control of the groove width and compression ratio during vulcanization can also result in side grooves and delamination of the side rubber.

Improper application of the sidewall rubber allows silicone oil to seep in, forming a separation interface.

This is caused by improper application of the sidewall rubber combined with an excessively low compression ratio, resulting in material deficiency.

The above outlines the causes of sidewall grooves in Tai Liu Rubber conveyor belts. We hope this information proves helpful.
