The conveyor belts in detail

We are sure to have the right conveyor belt for your requirements

The conveyor belt is an essential component of belt conveyors. It consists of an endless belt that runs on metal plates or rollers and serves as both a support and a means of traction. Conveyor belts usually consist of a fabric-like tension member and a coating.

MTF Technik offers a wide range of different conveyor belts made from a variety of materials (PU, PVC, polyester, felt, rubber, silicone, etc.) with various surface structures and colours for your customised conveyor belt.

The selection of the optimal conveyor belt depends on many different criteria, e.g. part weight, drop height of the parts, sharp edges, part temperature, surface sensitivity, surface wetting of the parts with chemicals, static charging of the conveyed material, food compatibility and much more.

However, geometric factors relating to the length and width of the conveyor belt, as well as design details, also influence the selection of the appropriate conveyor belt.

Depending on the specific task, we put together conveyor belts from our wide range of belt materials, corrugated edges, longitudinal ribs, cleats, guide rails, endless connections, etc. to find the optimal solution for you.

The intelligent and service-friendly design of our conveyor belts makes it possible to replace the belts with little effort. We also offer suitable replacement conveyor belts for conveyor belts from other manufacturers.

We will be happy to advise you.

Questions and answers about Belt types

What is meant by "antistatic properties" in conveyor belts?

When the conveyor belt is in operation, the conveyor belt is guided around the deflection rollers and pulled over a sliding pad. The rolling motion on the rollers and the friction on the support can cause static charges to build up in the conveyor belt. To reduce this, belts with antistatic properties are used. These have antistatic threads woven into the belt's tensile member, which dissipate charges to the belt body.

What is a finger joint and when is it used?

A finger joint is a way of welding a conveyor belt into an endless loop. The open ends of the belt are punched with so-called fingers, i.e. in a zigzag pattern. The two finger ends are then inserted into each other and welded. This results in a longer surface area, which improves durability. Such connections are used, for example, in straight conveyor belts or reversible belt conveyors.

What is a step plug connection and when is it used?

In a step connection, the open ends of the conveyor belt are cut at an angle in opposite directions so that they can be placed on top of each other like two wedges and then welded or glued together. Conveyor belts with this type of joint are mainly used for angled belt conveyors.
Belts with this joint are directional and cannot be reversed. Direction arrows are marked on the running side of the belts.

Are conveyor belts with detachable endless connections also available?

Yes. There are various detachable endless connections. However, these can generally only be used on straight belt conveyors. Depending on the belt thickness and application, zip connections, belt hook connections or alligator connections can be used.Conveyor belts with detachable endless connections are used, for example, in repair cases when belts need to be replaced on conveyor lines that are difficult to access. For conveyor belts that cannot be transported to the installation site in one piece, belts with detachable endless connections are an alternative to on-site belt welding.

Another application is where the belt has to be removed at short intervals for cleaning purposes, e.g. in the food industry.

However, the durability of detachable endless joints is generally poorer than that of welded joints.

How do you determine the endless length of a belt?

The easiest way is to pull a string around the belt and then measure it.

What is a corrugated edge and what is it used for?

When transporting small or pointed parts, there is a risk that they will become jammed between the moving belt and a fixed side guide. To prevent this, the belt can be equipped with corrugated edges. These are flexible strips of material welded upright on the sides and applied to the base material in a corrugated pattern. In conveyor belt kinks and at deflections, these corrugations are then compressed or stretched, creating a side barrier that moves with the belt. Small parts cannot then pass over these barriers and become jammed at the sides.
The maximum height of the corrugated edges depends on the roller diameters of the conveyor belt.

Which side of the conveyor belt is the running side?

The running side is the inner side of the belt, i.e. the side that comes into contact with the drive side and the sliding pad. This is where the belt "runs".

What is the underside of the conveyor belt?

The bottom side of the conveyor belt is the side that comes into contact with the conveyed material, i.e. the top side.

What is transverse stability of the conveyor belt and why is it important?

A belt must be flexible in the longitudinal direction so that it can be easily pulled around the drive and deflection rollers. However, depending on the application, it must be rigid in the transverse direction. This is particularly important for angled conveyor belts.

In the bend area, forces act on the belt, causing it to bulge. The more transverse stability a belt has, the less it tends to bulge.
Transverse stability also plays a role in wide and long conveyor belts to prevent the belt from sagging too much in the lower run.
To achieve this property, the fabric inserts of the conveyor belts are specially reinforced.

What is a wedge strip and what is it used for?

A wedge strip is a trapezoidal strip that can be attached to the running side or the carrying side of a conveyor belt, depending on the application.
On the running side, i.e. on the inside of the belt, they are used to guide the belt. In this case, the rollers and the sliding surface of the conveyor belt are designed with a groove in which the wedge bar runs and is thus centred. This form of positive guidance is used, for example, on reversible conveyor belts or on belt conveyors with a poor length/width ratio.

On the carrying side, wedge strips serve, for example, as travelling track separators or prevent jamming processes with flat conveyed goods. In this case, the wedge strips are positioned close to the side guides. Flat parts (e.g. sheet metal) do not lie flat on the edge of the belt and cannot become jammed in the gap between the belt and the side guide.

What is meant by stackability?

Belts that are suitable for accumulation and push-off operation require a surface with very high Shore hardness. They allow conveyed goods to be accumulated on the running belt (e.g. at an end stop) or pushed off the side of the conveyor belt (e.g. at switches or pneumatic cross transfer devices).

What does FDA compliance mean for a conveyor belt?

FDA stands for "Food and Drug Administration". This is a US drug regulatory agency responsible for the approval and control of drugs in the United States. FDA-compliant belts may be used accordingly for conveying processes in which unpackaged food or drugs are transported. In the European Economic Area, there is a similar EU conformity for such applications.

Which conveyor belts are suitable for transporting sharp-edged materials?

Cut-resistant belts, i.e. belts with very high surface hardness, but also felt belts, for example, are particularly suitable for transporting sharp-edged materials on a belt conveyor.

How can I get a replacement conveyor belt for my conveyor belt?

If it is an MTF conveyor belt, we only need the serial number of the complete conveyor belt. This can be found on the type plate attached to the belt body. We can use the serial number to identify the complete specifications of the conveyor belt.

For conveyor belts from other manufacturers, we require detailed information on the conveyor belt material, thickness, application, roller diameters used, endless length, width and the type and positioning of cleats, corrugated edges, wedge strips, etc.

What are drive lugs?

Cleats are the "ridges" or "cams" that are applied transversely to the conveyor belt. These are primarily used on ascending conveyor sections to carry the conveyed material. This collects in the ascending section in front of the cleats.

However, the cleats can also be used to form compartments to separate components or containers from each other during transport. The type of cleats available depends on the base material of the belt. Cleats cannot be applied to every belt.
