Side rubber belt conveyor side rubber guide chute side rubber

Side rubber is a rubber plate used for sealing between the conveyor belt and the guide chute, as well as between the buffer bed and the guide chute. Its design and material selection are crucial to withstand long-term friction and effectively prevent material spillage and dust reduction.

Here are some detailed information about side rubber:

Installation Methods

There are two main installation methods for side rubber: butterfly nut type and handle type. The installation process involves directly mounting the side rubber on the lower edge of the conveyor belt guide chute. This process requires ensuring the accurate positioning of the side rubber to guarantee its sealing effect.

Material Selection

The part of the side rubber that contacts the belt is usually made of polyurethane blocks because polyurethane has excellent wear resistance. The polyurethane blocks and rubber plate are bonded using a hot vulcanization process, enabling them to withstand prolonged friction without separating from the rubber. Additionally, the rubber of the anti-spillage apron is synthetic rubber, which needs to be blended with heat-resistant, aging-resistant, and damage-resistant additives such as styrene-butadiene rubber in specific proportions to ensure its performance.

Usage Characteristics of Side Rubber

Side rubber is convenient and quick to use, featuring a double-layer seal. The inner layer prevents material spillage, while the outer layer serves to reduce dust. The part that contacts the belt has a composite polyurethane layer, which ensures a long service life without damaging the belt. These characteristics enable side rubber to fundamentally solve issues such as coal spillage, air leakage, and powder escape on both sides of the guide chute, effectively reducing dust concentration in the belt corridor.

Precautions

When selecting side rubber, users should be aware that there are some low-quality anti-spillage aprons on the market. These products may use discarded rubber items that are crushed and reprocessed as raw materials. Such anti-spillage aprons may melt at slightly higher temperatures, leading to premature belt failure. Therefore, users should choose reputable manufacturers when purchasing side rubber, request samples for testing, and confirm that the hardness is moderate and there is no strong odor before making a purchase.
