FABRIC-RUBBER CONVEYOR BELTS NON INFLAMMABLE APPLICATION Non- inflammable rubber fabric conveyor belts are intended for transport of loose materials in increased fire hazard conditions e.g. for coal transport in coal processing plants on the surface of mining enterprises or power plant and combined heat and power plants. Non- inflammable rubber fabric conveyor belts can convey materials of any graining but taking into account operational safety of the conveyor and installed belt it is recommended to limit maximum diameter of grains of the conveyed material to 300 [mm]. CONSTRUCTION Non-inflammable rubber fabric conveyor belts consists of rubber and fabric carcass, with 2-5 plies, rubber covers: carrying and running as well as rubber edges. Layer of interlayer rubber is located between textile plies. Non-inflammable rubber fabric conveyor belts are manufactured on the basis of EP (polyester-polyamide) or PP (polyamide-polyamide) textile plies. Non-inflammable rubber fabric conveyor belts are produced according to the standards EN ISO 14890 or DIN 22102. Covers and edges can be manufactured in different classes of cover rubber acc. to table 1. Depending of type of the belt, it fulfils the requirements for safety class 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B acc. to the standard EN 12882. According to the standard ISO 433 belts has special property: “K”: non-inflammable with covers acc. to standard ISO 340 or “S”: non-inflammable with and without covers acc. to standard IDO 340 All manufactured types of non- inflammable belts are also anti-electrostatic.
