Belt Nomenclature Belts can be manufactured to various tensile  strengths. Different markets may specify or  enquire in different terms, for example, they may  quantify either in Ibs/in or in kN/m. The table below  gives the tensile strength of our range of belts in  lbs/in and kN/m. The belt designation has been expressed in lbs/in  with the corresponding values in kN/m provided.  The typical values of warp and weft tensile  strength are given in the table based on a 1mm  PVC cover thickness. Belt Thickness The textile content of Solid Woven Mineplast  belting, as compared to ply belting is high and the  properties exhibited by the bulk carcass are far  better. Thus, a thinner cover can be chosen than  one that would be normally associated with a ply  belt, largely due to Mineplast’s enhanced carcass density, which provides the load-bearing support. Belt Weight A lower belt weight in solid woven belting, as  compared to a ply belt, may be advantageous for a  long conveyor as it saves on power consumption, a  factor that customers may take into consideration. Drum Diameters Recommended minimum drum diameters are  provided for general applications. However, if  conveyor details like angle of wrap, belt speed,  tension and method of jointing are furnished, it is  possible to suggest smaller drum diameters. Factor of Safety The operating factor of safety is 10:1 with a  superior quality joint whether vulcanized or  mechanical. Belt Stretch Mineplast Solid Woven belting is manufactured with a unique design and in such a manner that the elongation in service is kept to a minimum.

The table below shows nominal figures for minimum warp & weft breaking strengths, belt thickness & weight for a selection of belt types, based on 1mm x 1mm PVC covers on either side. For every additional 1 mm PVC cover, add 1.25 kg/sq.mtr. or 0.204816 lbs/sq. ft. for PVC covers.

At ICL, safety is our top priority, which is why our high-performance belts are the result of a fully integrated in-house development process. From yarn preparation and fabric weaving to compound mixing and belt finishing, every stage is meticulously controlled to ensure the highest global standards of safety and performance. Our rigorous quality control measures guarantee reliability, with each belt undergoing comprehensive testing for physical durability,fire resistance, and anti-static properties. We specialize in Solid Woven Conveyor Belting, engineered with a superior carcass that offers complete moisture resistance. Key advantages of our Solid Woven conveyor belts include: Lower power requirement when compared to Rubber Belts due to the lower weight of PVC belt. Pully diameter requirement will be less in case of PVC Belt when compared to the Rubber belt as the flex fatigue is lower in the case of solid woven carcass. Pully diameter requirement will be less in case of PVC Belt when compared to the Rubber belt as the flex fatigue is lower in the case of solid woven carcass Enhanced flexibility for easier toughing and tracking, thanks to solid woven construction. Superior durability, offering high resistance to impact, edge wear, and longitudinal tearing. Strong mechanical fastener retention for reliable performance. Exceptional resistance to water, oil, bacteria, acids, and chemicals. Capacity to withstand high dynamic and static properties for both vulcanized (splicing) and mechanical joints.

A key function of ICL’s Research & Development team is the continuous testing of Mineplast products to ensure they meet the highest standards in conveyor belting, particularly for underground applications. Our in-house dynamic testing processes guarantee that every belt surpasses its performance and longevity expectations.
