Which industries do your products serve?
Our products are used in mining, quarrying, stone crushing, cement production, ports, power plants, chemical processing, construction materials, and other bulk-material-handling systems.
Can you help me select the correct conveyor belt?
Yes. Send us your application information and existing belt specification. Our team can review the information and recommend an appropriate product.
Final selection depends on the actual operating conditions and must be confirmed before production.
What information do you need to recommend a belt?
Please provide as much of the following as possible:
- Material being conveyed
- Maximum particle size
- Material temperature
- Required capacity
- Belt width and length
- Belt speed
- Conveyor inclination
- Fabric type and number of plies
- Top and bottom cover thickness
- Drive pulley diameter
- Indoor or outdoor environment
- Exposure to oil, chemicals, heat, moisture, or fire risk
- Photos or technical data for the existing belt
If some information is unavailable, send clear installation photographs and the information you have.
Which belt is suitable for inclined conveying?
The appropriate belt depends on the inclination angle, material, particle size, moisture, and required capacity.
Chevron conveyor belts provide additional grip for inclined conveying. Corrugated sidewall conveyor belts are designed for steep-angle applications where material retention and space saving are important.
Do you supply heat-resistant conveyor belts?
Yes. When requesting a quotation, provide the conveyed material, continuous operating temperature, peak temperature, and loading conditions.
The belt grade should be selected according to actual operating temperatures rather than only the name of the industrial process.
Do you offer flame-retardant conveyor belts?
We supply flame-retardant belt options, including PVC/PVG solid woven belts for relevant applications.
Applicable performance requirements and standards vary by market and installation. Please state the required standard and provide complete operating information before ordering.
What is the difference between impact and trough idlers?
Trough idlers support the carrying side of the belt and help form the required trough shape.
Impact idlers use rubber rings or other impact-absorbing structures. They are usually installed at loading and transfer points to reduce shock transmitted to the belt.
2. Customization
Can you manufacture custom sizes?
Yes. We can evaluate custom belt widths, lengths, thicknesses, constructions, cover grades, profiles, and endless dimensions.
Idlers, shafts, brackets, and pulleys may also be manufactured according to confirmed dimensions or drawings.
Can you manufacture products from my drawings?
Yes. Send a clear drawing showing all important dimensions, materials, tolerances, and technical requirements.
We will review the drawing and clarify missing or conflicting information before quotation or production.
Can you replace an existing product if I do not have a drawing?
Send us:
- Clear photographs of the product
- Belt markings or equipment nameplates
- Measured dimensions
- Application details
- Conveyor information
- A physical sample, where practical
Photographs alone may not show internal construction or critical tolerances. A measured drawing is recommended for custom idlers, brackets, and pulleys.
Do you provide OEM manufacturing?
We support OEM and custom manufacturing for distributors, conveyor service companies, equipment manufacturers, and project suppliers.
Product marking, packaging, drawings, and documentation requirements must be agreed before order confirmation.
Can you add our logo or shipping marks?
Custom labels, product markings, and shipping marks may be available depending on the product and order quantity.
Send the required artwork, wording, format, and placement instructions for review.
