150mm Steel Cord Tubular Conveyor Belt

150mm Steel Cord Tubular Conveyor Belt – High-Capacity, Sealed, Flexible Material Handling Solution

The 150mm steel cord Tubular Conveyor Belt is engineered for demanding industrial environments where strength, sealing efficiency, and adaptability are critical. Designed with a robust steel wire rope core, this Tubular Belt offers superior tensile performance compared to traditional fabric-reinforced alternatives like polyester or standard steel cord belts. Ideal for long-distance bulk material transport in mining, cement, agriculture, and food processing sectors, it ensures reliable operation under heavy loads while minimizing maintenance and environmental impact.

Key Features:

• High tensile strength from steel wire rope core – enables safe conveyance of up to several tons per meter, especially suitable for high-capacity operations such as ore transfer in large-scale mining facilities.
• Excellent sealing properties – the tubular design prevents spillage, dust emission, and contamination, making it ideal for fine powders like flour, cement, or chemical compounds.
• Superior flexibility and curve-following capability – maintains smooth movement around rollers and idlers without excessive resistance, enabling complex routing in confined spaces.
• Optimized cross-sectional area for efficient capacity – available in multiple diameters (100–850 mm) and corresponding belt widths (400–3150 mm), allowing tailored solutions based on throughput requirements.
• Adaptable to various material sizes – supports particle dimensions from 30 mm to over 400 mm, ensuring compatibility across diverse industries including aggregate handling, coal transport, and food-grade logistics.

Detailed Description:

This advanced tubular Conveyor Belt uses a steel cord reinforcement system that significantly outperforms conventional textile cores in terms of load-bearing capacity and durability. The internal steel wire ropes act as the primary tension member, allowing the belt to handle extreme stresses over extended distances—commonly found in underground mines or remote processing plants where uninterrupted flow is essential. Unlike standard flat belts that may stretch or fail under continuous high-load conditions, the steel-cord version remains dimensionally stable, reducing downtime and enhancing operational safety.

The unique tubular configuration provides an enclosed pathway for materials, offering dual benefits: first, containment prevents material loss during transit—an important factor in cost control and regulatory compliance; second, it protects contents from external contaminants such as moisture, dirt, or airborne particles, which is crucial when transporting sensitive goods like pharmaceuticals, grains, or edible ingredients. This feature also reduces cleaning efforts and improves workplace hygiene, aligning with modern sustainability standards.

In addition to its mechanical advantages, the belt’s flexibility allows seamless integration into curved or multi-level conveyor systems. Whether navigating tight turns within a factory floor layout or climbing inclines in rugged terrain, the belt conforms smoothly to the system geometry without compromising performance. Its ability to transition between horizontal, vertical, and diagonal orientations makes it a versatile choice for compact installations where space optimization is key.

Common Applications:

Primarily used in mining, quarrying, power generation, and bulk material handling industries, this tubular belt excels in applications requiring consistent, high-volume output over long distances. It’s particularly effective for conveying crushed rock, coal, limestone, sand, and other granular substances. In food processing facilities, it serves as a clean, enclosed transport method for cereals, sugar, and powdered additives. For chemical manufacturers, it ensures contamination-free movement of powders and granules through controlled environments.

User Feedback Highlights:

Operators report improved productivity due to reduced material spillage and fewer belt failures. Maintenance teams appreciate the longevity of the steel core, which minimizes replacement frequency and lowers lifecycle costs. Engineers note the ease of integrating the belt into existing systems, especially when retrofitting older conveyors with enhanced capabilities. Many users highlight the environmental benefit of sealed conveyance—less dust, cleaner air quality, and better compliance with occupational health regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What makes a Steel Cord Tubular Belt different from a standard conveyor belt? Unlike traditional belts made from fabric or synthetic fibers, the steel cord core provides higher tensile strength and resistance to elongation, enabling longer runs and heavier payloads without sagging or failure.

Can this belt handle abrasive or corrosive materials? Yes, with appropriate cover rubber formulations, it can withstand abrasive particles like iron ore or silica-rich aggregates, as well as mildly corrosive substances commonly found in chemical and fertilizer production lines.

Is installation complicated for curved sections? No—its flexibility allows easy setup around curves and inclines without requiring specialized tools or extensive structural modifications. The design accommodates both gradual and sharp bends depending on application needs.

How does the sealing performance compare to open conveyors? The tubular shape creates a fully enclosed channel, drastically reducing spillage, dust emissions, and exposure to ambient elements—making it far more efficient than open belt systems, especially for fine or hygroscopic materials.

What size options are available for different capacities? Available in tube diameters ranging from 100 mm to 850 mm, with matching belt widths from 400 mm to 3150 mm, each combination corresponds to specific sectional areas (from 0.0079 m² to 0.5442 m²), ensuring optimal volume delivery for any project scale—from small workshops to massive industrial complexes.
