steel cord conveyor belts are high-performance rubber conveyor belts designed for extremely demanding material handling applications. Compared with fabric Conveyor Belts, steel cord conveyor belts offer significantly higher tensile strength, minimal elongation, and exceptional durability, making them the preferred solution for long-distance, high-capacity, and heavy-load conveying systems.
These belts are widely used in large-scale mining operations, cement plants, power stations, ports, steel mills, and bulk material terminals where continuous operation, high reliability, and low maintenance costs are critical. With a steel cord reinforced carcass, steel cord conveyor belts provide superior structural stability and operational efficiency under the most challenging working conditions.

A steel cord conveyor belt is a rubber conveyor belt reinforced with longitudinal steel cords embedded within the rubber matrix. Unlike fabric conveyor belts that rely on textile layers for tensile strength, steel cord conveyor belts use high-tensile steel wires to form the load-bearing core.
This construction results in extremely high tensile strength, very low elongation, and excellent resistance to impact, fatigue, and tearing. Steel cord conveyor belts are specifically engineered for applications requiring long conveying distances, high belt speeds, and heavy material loads.
Steel cord conveyor belts offer several distinct advantages over traditional fabric conveyor belts.
One of the most significant benefits is minimal elongation under working load, which ensures stable belt tracking and reduces the need for frequent tension adjustments. This characteristic is particularly important for long-distance Conveyor Systems.
Steel cord conveyor belts also provide exceptional tensile strength, allowing them to carry large volumes of material over extended distances with fewer transfer points. This improves system efficiency and reduces energy consumption.
In addition, steel cord conveyor belts demonstrate excellent impact resistance and fatigue performance, enabling them to withstand continuous operation and harsh loading conditions.
Steel cord conveyor belts are manufactured using advanced engineering techniques to ensure optimal performance and durability.
The core of the belt consists of parallel high-tensile steel cords arranged longitudinally. Each steel cord is individually coated with brass or zinc to ensure strong adhesion to the rubber compound. This design provides uniform load distribution and exceptional tensile strength.
The top cover rubber is formulated to resist abrasion, cutting, impact, and environmental exposure. Depending on the application, special rubber compounds can be used to provide additional resistance to heat, oil, fire, or chemicals.
The bottom cover rubber protects the belt from wear caused by rollers and pulleys and contributes to smooth and stable belt operation.

Steel cord conveyor belts are particularly suitable for long-distance conveyor systems, often exceeding several kilometers. Their low elongation and high strength allow for fewer drive stations and reduced maintenance requirements. This makes them ideal for large-scale industrial projects and EPC installations.
Proper installation is critical to the performance and longevity of steel cord conveyor belts.
Before installation, the conveyor structure should be thoroughly inspected for alignment and cleanliness. Rollers and pulleys must be properly aligned and free of defects. During installation, belt tension should be applied gradually and evenly to avoid damaging the steel cords.
Vulcanized splicing is strongly recommended to maintain belt strength and integrity.
Steel cord conveyor belts should be operated within their designed load capacity and speed limits. Proper material loading and distribution help minimize localized stress and extend belt life.
Avoid sudden starts and stops whenever possible, as these can create excessive tension in the belt. Conveyor systems should be equipped with appropriate protection devices to prevent belt damage.
Regular inspection and maintenance are essential for ensuring long-term reliable operation.
Inspect belt surfaces for wear or damage
Monitor belt tension and alignment
Check splices regularly
Ensure rollers and pulleys are in good condition
Preventive maintenance reduces the risk of unexpected downtime and extends belt service life.
Belt Slippage
Usually caused by insufficient tension or worn pulleys.
Steel Cord Exposure
May occur due to severe surface damage or incorrect belt selection.
Splice Failure
Often caused by improper splicing procedures or poor maintenance.
Correct belt selection and proper maintenance help prevent these issues.
Key selection factors include conveying distance, material type, load capacity, belt speed, and environmental conditions. Consulting with an experienced steel cord conveyor belt manufacturer ensures proper belt design and optimal system performance.
