Belts in the Stone Industry
Industrial belts play a key role in the stone industry, contributing to extraction, cutting, processing, and material handling processes. This industry, which includes the production of building stones, decorative stones, and minerals such as granite, marble, and limestone, requires belts with high resistance to abrasion, pressure, and harsh environmental conditions. Appropriate belts increase production line efficiency, reduce breakdowns, and ensure stable machinery performance, thereby improving the quality of stone processing. Ravand Trans Apadana Company meets the needs of this industry by providing high-quality belts.
Commonly Used Belts in the Stone Industry
Rubber Conveyor Belts:
Rubber conveyor belts, especially cleated types, are used in the stone industry for transporting heavy materials such as raw stones, cut stones, or mineral waste in production lines, extraction, and storage areas. The cleats on these belts prevent material slippage on inclines or uneven surfaces. Importance: Heavy load capacity—high resistance to the weight and pressure of large, heavy stones makes them ideal for heavy industrial applications. Abrasion resistance, flexibility on inclines, durability in harsh conditions. Examples: Transferring raw stones from mines to factories, moving cut stones in processing lines, and transporting mineral waste to storage.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Conveyor BeltsApplications:
PVC conveyor belts, particularly cleated types, are used in the stone industry for transporting lighter or processed stones in production, cutting, and polishing lines. These belts are applied in processes requiring clean and precise handling. Importance: Flexibility and lightness, abrasion resistance, cleated design, easy cleaning. Examples: Transferring polished stones in processing lines, moving stone pieces in cutting lines, and packaging processes.
V-BeltsApplications:
V-belts are used in the stone industry for power transmission in heavy machinery such as crushers, cutting equipment, and mineral mills. These belts are also applied in auxiliary equipment like pumps and cooling fans. Importance: Strong power transmission, resistance to heavy loads, easy installation and maintenance. Examples: Power transmission in primary and secondary crushers, stone cutting machines, and cooling fans in processing lines.
Endless Rubber Timing BeltsApplications:
Endless rubber timing belts are used in precise machinery in the stone industry, such as CNC cutting machines or robotic systems for stone handling and processing. These belts are applied in sensitive processes requiring synchronized motion transfer. Importance: High precision, pressure resistance, long durability. Examples: CNC cutting machines for decorative stones, robotic systems in processing lines, and handling of cut stones.
Ribbed BeltsApplications:
Ribbed belts are used in the stone industry for power transmission in machinery requiring smooth and vibration-free motion, such as stone transfer rollers or auxiliary systems in production lines. Importance: Smooth and uniform transfer, high flexibility, resistance to abrasion and heat. Examples: Stone transfer rollers in production lines, cooling systems, and power transmission in stone polishing machines.
