Side Rubber Sealing Coal Belt for Material Leakage Under Conveyor Chute

Side rubber conveyor, side rubber chute, side rubber

Side rubber is a rubber plate used for sealing between the conveyor belt and the chute, as well as between the buffer bed and the chute. Its design and material selection are crucial to ensure it can 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 under the edge of the conveyor chute, ensuring accurate positioning to guarantee its sealing effect.

Material Selection

The part of the side rubber that contacts the belt is usually made of polyurethane blocks due to their high wear resistance. The polyurethane blocks and rubber plate are bonded using a hot vulcanization process, enabling them to endure prolonged friction without separating. Additionally, the rubber of the anti-spill skirt is synthetic rubber, which requires blending with heat-resistant, aging-resistant, and damage-resistant additives such as styrene-butadiene rubber to ensure 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 reduces dust. The area in contact with 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 chute, effectively reducing dust concentration in the belt corridor.

Precautions

When selecting side rubber, users should be aware that there are low-quality anti-spill skirts on the market, which may be made from reprocessed waste rubber products. Such anti-spill skirts might melt at slightly elevated temperatures, leading to premature belt failure. Therefore, users should purchase side rubber from reputable manufacturers, request samples for testing, and confirm that the hardness is appropriate and there is no strong odor before making a purchase.
