The Conveyor Belt Industry: Poised For Growth

A conveyor belt is essentially a motorised mode of communicating items along its surface. The conveyor mechanism consists of a set of drums or pulleys that have a thick and long rubber or PVC belt revolving around them. These underlying drums are powered by a strong electric engine that moves the overlying belt and with it the objects on top of the belt.

Conveyor belt manufacturers produce different kinds of belts meant for various purposes. Conveyor belts used to carry industrial goods and material are the most common and varied. These units comprise belts made of tough, industrial-grade rubber or PVC capable of enduring heavy weights and uneven surfaces. Some conveyor systems also consist of rollers (underneath the belt) that aid the carriage of hefty items, reduce friction, hasten the work flow, and also prevent factory accidents.

Some innovative industrial belts made by Indian conveyor belt manufacturers include belts that resist chemical corrosion, belts that block oil and water seepage, fire-resistant belts, belts capable of withstanding steep movement angles (called Chevron belts), and distinctive belts made of anti-skid, erosion-proof rubber.     

Conveyor belts are also extensively used in non-industrial spheres. These largely include agricultural farms (for the conveyance of crop bales, fertilizers, and pesticides), airports and railway stations (for luggage carriage) and post offices (for the conveyance of letters and parcels). For the above purposes, conveyor belt manufacturers design special conveyor systems composed of rounded belts and pointed rollers enable sharp trajectory turns.     

Besides manufacturing, top Indian conveyor belt makers also provide valuable after-sale services that keep their world-class products well-maintained and their customers exceedingly satisfied. Some of these services encompass belt jointing, belt cleaning and scraping, and belt repairs. Leading conveyor belt manufacturers like TTGA Pvt. Ltd. (the Rema Tip Top brand) also offer patented pulley laggings, belt cleansers, and belt sealing mechanisms to keep the conveyor systems in prime shape.    

With increasing end-user requirements and positive business returns, the forecasts for India’s conveyor belt industry do indeed appear bright.
