Recent research indicates that approximately 61% of the energy consumed during conveyor belt operation in the horizontal direction is dedicated to overcoming the indentation rolling resistance caused by passing over rollers and pulleys.
The viscoelastic nature of the belt is the primary factor contributing to the generation of indentation rolling resistance. To mitigate energy loss, we utilize low rolling resistance rubber on the pulley side, thereby reducing the energy expended in overcoming indentation. Building upon our initial innovation, Double Arrow has partnered with Conveyor Dynamics Inc. (CDI) in the United States to jointly develop ultra-low rolling resistance rubber (SLRR).
Note: We offer flexibility in manufacturing cover thickness, cord diameter, and cord pitch to meet the specific requirements of our customers.
The cover can be categorized into the following types based on its intended use:
The China Yubei Logistics Base project, featuring a single line spanning 30km, demonstrates that FLRR (Flame Resistant Low Rolling Resistance) rubber can significantly reduce energy loss. Compared to ordinary rubber, FLRR has been shown to reduce energy loss by up to 25%.
