Steel cord conveyor belts, the proven high-performance and reliable mode of material handling, are becoming increasingly cost-effective and popular. We offer innovative solutions to specific material handing problems using steel cord belts

Steel cord belts at NRC are manufactured in state-ofthe-art steel cord line. Steel cords, the key reinforcement material, are coiled in individual reels and placed in the creel let off station which is located in a big dehumidified chamber. The cords are then guided through a fixed path to the cord tensioning unit. Each cord is tensioned individually through this tensioning unit ensuring equal tension to all the cords and thereafter, maintaining them on same plane, during manufacturing of belts.
The rubber sheets are assembled in an assembling machine equipped with auto- centering device. The sheets are here laid on top and bottom of cord layer and the assembly is cold pressed together under predetermined pressure. The thermal expansion of cord during vulcanisation is taken care of by cord tensioning unit to maintain uniformity.
Vulcanisation takes place in a press heated with pressurised water while distortion of heating platens is prevented by counter heating system incorporated in the bolster.
The whole operation is monitored by a built-in centralised computer in the system.

High Tensile Strength

NRC steel cord conveyor belts offer much higher tensile strength which is impossible to achieve by a conventional textile belt

Low Elongation

NRC steel cord conveyor belts have elongation much lower than that of an equivalent textile belt. This allows short take- ups even for long distance conveyors.

Long Life

NRC steel cord conveyor belts provide long life by utilising the high fatigue strength of steel cords.

Smaller Pulley Diameter

NRC steel cord conveyor belts by virtue of high longitudinal flexibility, require smaller pulley, thus reducing the cost of initial investment.

Excellent Troughability

As the belt is composed of steel cords in a single layer, even with a very high strength, NRC steel cord conveyor belts conform perfectly to the contour of the deep troughed idler. This ensures proper belt training and maximum capacity utilisation.
