INTRODUCTION
BELTS
A belt is a loop of flexible material used to link two or more rotating shafts
mechanically. Belts are also used as a source of motion, to transmit power
efficiently, or to track relative movement. Conveyor Belt is an another
application where the belt is adapted to carry a load continuously between
two points.
Classification of belts based on their functions—Conveyor and Transmission
Transmission belts are also classified as
1. V – belt
2. Flat belting
3. Positive driven Belts
CONVEYER BELTS
Conveyer belts are used to transport material from one point to another point
.
Belt conveyor is constantly operating transporting equipment which is mainly
used to convey mass bulk material like mineral, coal, sand, etc in powder or
block as well as packed freight in metallurgy, mining, building heavy industries
and transportation industry. Belt conveyor is the most perfect conveying
equipment for coal-mining, because it can work efficiently and continuously.
Compared with other transporting equipments, belt conveyor not only has the
merits of long conveying distance, big capacity, constant working operation,
but also with the features of operational reliability, easy to have automated
and concentrated control. Belt conveyor has become the key equipment
especially for high-output and high-efficiency coal mine.

MARKET SURVEY
The location for the plant is selected after ensuring that it has got all the
following infra-structural facilities such as;
In deciding the layout of a plant the main objective is to utilise the available
facilities most advantageously and thereby reduce the operational costs to a
minimum. It should also be flexible to accommodate future expansion of the
plant. The following factors are to be kept in mind while designing a plant
layout for the smooth and regular functioning of the plant.
Building
POLYMER
Styrene Butadiene rubber is the main raw material . it is a general purpose
synthetic rubber produced from the monomers such as styrene and butadiene
.SBR still constitute 60% of the total synthetic rubber consumed in the world
SBR is manufactured by freeradical addition polymerization either emulsion or
solution polymerization techniques
PROPERTIES OF SBR
➢ Good abrasion resistance
➢ Good flex resistance
➢ Good heat resistance
➢ Resistance to acids and oils

• Cooling system: this is for cool the product and mould. It is done by
immersion in water or by a spray of water. The mould after moulding is
passing through the cooling tank for cool the mould and for set the
product.
• Buffing machine: Buffing machine is used to remove the flash from the
product after moulding to give the product a good appearance.
• Weighing balance: These are used for weighing raw materials and
finished products. The used weighing balances have a maximum capacity
of 100, 400 kg.
Administrative staff
The administrative staffs work only in the general shift. The administrative
staffs consist of following personals.
Production staff
4. Unskilled workers – 4 persons required for collect the finished goods and
do the necessary packing.
5. Mechanic
UTILITIES AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
Water
Water is taken from the water supply scheme available in the industrial estate
and is collected in the overhead tank to ensured uninterrupted supply. Water
is required for cooling the mould and product, for steam generation and toilet
etc. The daily requirement is 10 kilolitres.
Electric power
The total connected load of all the major machineries is approximately 702000
KWH. The electricity bill and the fuel charges together will be about
Rs.3510000.
The industrial estates are provided with good transport and communication
facilities and so the transportation of raw materials and finished goods
(product) will be easy.

COMPOUNDING
The mixture of rubber and ingredients used for manufacture of any rubber is
called “compound” and art of making such a compound is called compounding
SELECTION OF INGREDIENTS
1. SBR
SBR is the most suitable base polymer to satisfy the service
requirements of our product
• High strength
• Wear resistance
• Abrasion resistance
2. Activator
The combination of zinc oxide and stearic acid system is used for
activating the crosslinking system
3. Filler
Fillers are used to improve modular and failure properties such as tensile
strength tear resistance abrasion resistance of final vulcanizate
4. Processing aid
Aromatic oil gives best process ability and it is assist the filler
incorporation
5. Antioxidant
Rubber containing higher amount of unsaturation such as SBR is prone
to oxidative degradation on attack by ozone. To protect rubber from
these oxidative degradation antioxidant is used
6. Accelerator
It is used in rubber industry to increase the speed of vulcanization
7. Tackifier
It is added to rubber compounds to help bond different parts of an
article together until they cured
8. Curing agent
Sulphur is most suitable agent for SBR because of the presence of high
amount of unsaturation
Formulation
PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING
Maturation
The sheet of the compound is then kept for maturation for 24 hrs. Maturation
helps to develop better technological properties by uniform distribution of all
ingredients into rubber mix
PRE-WARMING
Fabric treatment.
To ensure maximum fabrics bondability fabric are treated as like in the tyre
cord manufacturing. This treated fabrics are sometime subjected to heat
stretching also.
Frictioning and Topping
To ensure good functionality a hot fabric is essential. Frictioning in
done in three or four roll calender. The rubberised fabrics are rolled in cotton
liners to prevent sticking. Some boding agents are also added to the rubber
compound for good bonding with the textyl.
Belt building
Coated fabrics are cut accurately to the width required for a particular
belt in a cam cutting machine. The actual cutting widths will depend on the
construction required, the typical constructions used are
The cut width are adhered together by passing them through a doubling roll
arrangements until the correct number of plies are obtained. Another method
is with long building table with two bowl consolidating rolls, semi automatic
let off mechanisms, individual lines received and tension control. The joints in
adjacent plies being staggered to avoid any weakness occurring in the belt.
The covers are calendared directly into the belt carcass using a three or
four roll calendar, or calendared sheeting is applied on the building table in the
latter case the completely built belt in then consolidated and passed through
pricking rollers to remove any trapped air. The finished raw belt is stored in a
cotton or polyethene lining or chalked to prevent sticking prior to the
vulcanizing operation.
Vulcanization
Vulcanization of conveyor belting is carried out in either a press or a
continuous drum curing machine.
In continuous vulcanization belt is passed between a rotating steel drum on an
endless high tensile steel band. Pressure being applied by tensioning the steel
band hydraulically. Heat is applied to both sides of the product from the
internally heated drum and also through the steel band. Generally the
maximum product thickness is 32 mm and maximum product width varies
depends on the end use . The curing speed are variable between 65m / h to
4m / h giving cure times of from 3.5 min to 53 min.
Press curing
It is done in various types of large flat multi ram process. The row belt
is unsealed and fed to the press and section is vulcanized. The press have cool
areas at the ends of the press to prevent over curing between successive
sections of the belt. In the press there is an attachment a stretching
equipment. The belt being stretched up to a desired level prior to closing the
press. This stretching process is essential to prevent excessive lengthening of
the belt occurring in service
INSPECTION
The finished products are checking for imperfections such as crack, blisters etc.
visual inspection is sufficient
