Elin rubber conveyor belts are commonly used for various industrial applications due to their durability, flexibility, and resistance to wear and tear. They are typically designed for heavy-duty work in environments where high-performance conveyors are needed. Below are the detailed technical specifications that you might find for Elin rubber conveyor belts, though specific models may vary based on application:

1. General Composition

• Cover Material:
  • Natural rubber or synthetic rubber compounds, including chloroprene, nitrile, EPDM, or SBR, provide different resistance levels to heat, oil, abrasion, and chemicals.
• Carcass (Body):
  • Multiple layers of textile fabric, steel cords, or a combination thereof.
  • Common fabrics: Polyester, Nylon, Cotton, Aramid.
  • Steel cord construction (for heavy-duty applications) provides high tensile strength and durability.
• Sidewalls and Edging:
  • Reinforced with rubber or plastic to enhance the overall structure and prevent material spillages.

2. Belt Width

• Standard Widths: 500 mm to 2400 mm or more.
• Custom widths can be made based on the client’s specific needs.

3. Belt Thickness

• Typically ranges from 6 mm to 50 mm or more, depending on the application and load requirements.
• The thickness of the belt often includes the top and bottom cover as well as the carcass.

4. Belt Strength (Tensile Strength)

• EP Fabric (Polyester/Nylon):
  • Tensile strength typically ranges from 250 N/mm to 2000 N/mm (Newtons per millimeter) based on the application.
  • Suitable for medium to heavy-duty use.
• Steel Cord Belts:
  • Tensile strength: 1000 N/mm to 8000 N/mm, used for high-strength and long-distance applications.
  • Steel cord belts offer higher resistance to elongation and breakage under high-load conditions.

5. Elongation

• EP fabric belts: Elongation at break usually around 2% to 3%.
• Steel cord belts: Elongation at break is lower, usually around 0.5% to 1%.

6. Belt Type

• Straight-warp conveyor belts: Suitable for applications requiring high durability and resistance to wear.
• Chevron or Cleated belts: Designed for inclined conveying of bulk materials, with various patterns like “V,” “U,” or “S” chevrons to prevent material slippage.
• Heat-resistant belts: Made with heat-resistant rubber compounds to handle temperatures up to 200°C or more.
• Oil-resistant belts: Resistant to oil and grease, commonly used in industries such as mining or steel processing.

7. Cover Properties

• Abrasion Resistance: Abrasion-resistant rubber grades for extended lifespan in heavy-duty applications.
• Impact Resistance: Provides protection against heavy impacts from lumps of material or machinery.
• Oil and Chemical Resistance: Various formulations for protection against oils, acids, alkalis, and other chemicals.
• Heat Resistance: Some versions of Elin belts are designed for use in high-temperature environments (up to 180°C or higher).
• Flame Resistance: Belts with anti-flame additives, often used in mines, steel mills, and other hazardous environments.
• Weather and UV Resistance: Designed to resist degradation from exposure to sunlight and harsh weather conditions.

8. Temperature Range

• Standard: -10°C to 60°C.
• Heat-resistant belts: Can withstand temperatures from 100°C to 180°C.
• Cold-resistant belts: Can function in temperatures as low as -40°C.

9. Belt Surface

• Smooth Surface: For standard conveying applications.
• Rough/Patterned Surface: For inclined or steep-angle applications.
• Textured Surface: For improving grip on wet or slick materials.

10. Edge Design

• Plain Edges: Common for standard applications.
• Sidewalls: Optional for inclined applications or where spillage is a concern.
• V-guides: Used for tracking belts to ensure the belt stays centered on the rollers.

11. Belt Joining Methods

• Vulcanized Joints: Highly durable and commonly used for permanent and long-lasting joints.
• Mechanical Fasteners: Can be used for quicker installations and repairs, though these are less durable than vulcanized joints.
• Clipper and Alligator Joints: Common mechanical joining methods.

12. Applications

• Mining: Conveying ores, rocks, and coal.
• Food Processing: Conveying foodstuffs, especially when oil or grease resistance is required.
• Agriculture: Transporting grains, fertilizers, or other agricultural products.
• Heavy Industry: Handling heavy materials such as metal ore, steel, and chemicals.

13. Standards and Certifications

• Compliance with industry standards such as ISO 15236 (steel cord belts) and ISO 14890 (textile belts).
• DIN (German Industrial Standards) and RMA (Rubber Manufacturers Association) standards.
• Fire safety certifications (e.g., MSHA in the U.S. for mining applications).

These specifications are typical for high-performance Elin rubber conveyor belts, but they can vary based on specific models and customer requirements. If you have more specific needs, such as custom features or performance requirements, these can usually be met with tailored solutions.
