Can the quality of a conveyor belt be identified based on its hardness?

In industrial production, conveyor belts are widely used to help people quickly move items from one place to another during the company's production process. However, many people do not know how to identify high-quality conveyor belts, and often choose cheap and high-quality inferior products. Today we will discuss a common and easy-to-use method to identify the quality of a conveyor belt by observing its hardness.

First, we need to understand what the hardness of the conveyor belt is. The hardness of a conveyor belt refers to its ability to withstand external forces. The higher the hardness, the higher the resistance and the harder it is to be worn, torn or broken. Of course, this does not mean that a high-hardness conveyor belt is necessarily the best choice, but at least it has good wear resistance, which will become an important consideration in long-term use.

So, what level of hardness is considered high? There are many quantitative indicators of hardness, among which Rockwell hardness and Brinell hardness are commonly used. In fact, these indicators are not easy to understand for most people, not to mention that in actual work, we usually do not need to use these complex testing methods. Instead, we can feel the hardness of the conveyor belt by touching it.

It takes some experience to feel the stiffness of the conveyor belt, which may take some time to practice. When we hold a conveyor belt with our hands and bend it with force, the conveyor belt will feel obvious resistance and even make a "pinching" or "brittle" sound when applying force. This usually means that the hardness is relatively high. It is relatively high and has certain wear resistance and durability; on the contrary, if the bending process is very easy, you can even feel it is very brittle, and you can even hear a "pop" sound, then such a conveyor belt is generally not very durable. , prone to cracks, and unable to withstand excessive weight, which can easily cause environmental pollution and safety issues.

In addition, there is a better way to judge the quality of the conveyor belt, which is to observe its material and production process. Generally speaking, high-quality conveyor belt materials will go through dozens of processes such as mixing, pressing, drying, and vulcanization for many times. The conveyor belt produced has a tough texture, high durability, a smooth and flawless appearance, and is not easy to break, age, or deform. wait. Inferior conveyor belts are usually made manually or with semi-automatic machines, lacking quality assurance, and their quality is highly volatile.

In short, for those who want to identify the quality of conveyor belts, observing the hardness and material manufacturing process of the conveyor belt is a common method. Of course, this is only a unilateral judgment standard. The actual situation may require comprehensive consideration of other factors such as manufacturer reputation, price, use, and environmental protection. When purchasing conveyor belts, I hope you will not fall into the trap of focusing only on superficial factors such as price and make a correct decision.

Huatao industrial belt mainly produces light conveyor belts, PVC conveyor belt, PU conveyor belt and PE conveyor belt. These products are usually widely used in light manufacturing, food processing industry, electronic and electrical manufacturing, steel, coal mining, photovoltaic, automobile, chemical industry, textile, wood industry, building materials, marble manufacturing and many other industries.
