Ribbed Conveyor Belt

Conveyor belts are an indispensable tool in factories and enterprises. They play an important role in improving production efficiency, reducing costs and ensuring labor safety. The design of ribbed conveyor belts is not only a transportation device, but also an optimal solution, contributing significantly to the development and improvement of production efficiency of many industries.
 

What is a ribbed conveyor belt?

Ribbed conveyor belts are designed with a conveyor belt surface with ribs to create friction and increase product pulling ability. Depending on the type of ribs, you can apply them in each production field. There are several types of ribbed conveyor belts on the market such as: V ribbed conveyor belts, U ribbed conveyor belts, T ribbed conveyor belts, spiked conveyor belts, herringbone conveyor belts, etc. Each type of ribbed conveyor belt has its own uses and advantages. Ribbed conveyor belts help create partitions to separate products on the conveyor belt. Especially used in cases where the product is slippery and the conveyor belt has a high slope.
 

General structure of ribbed conveyor belt:

 

• The conveyor belt frame is usually made of stainless steel, aluminum profiles or stainless steel to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. It is designed to be sturdy and strong to ensure stable operation of the conveyor belt.
• The conveyor belt is usually made of PVC, PU or rubber, with high durability, heat resistance and chemical resistance.
• The surface of the conveyor belt is covered with raised ribs in many different shapes such as V, T, cubes, spikes, fish bones. These ribs help increase friction and hold the product tightly.
• The roller is usually made of steel or plastic to support the conveyor belt to move, reduce friction and increase the life of the belt.
• DC motor, AC motor or hydraulic motor.
• Drive system: Pulley, chain, gear... Drive from the motor to the conveyor belt.
• Control system: PLC, inverter, switch, sensor... Control the speed, direction of the conveyor belt, emergency stop when there is a problem.

 

Outstanding advantages of ribbed conveyor belt

With a special design, this type of conveyor belt has many outstanding advantages compared to other types of conveyor belts.
 

• Thanks to the raised ribs on the surface of the belt, the product is kept fixed, avoiding slipping and falling during transportation, especially effective with products with irregular shapes or smooth surfaces.
• The ribs divide the product into small cells, helping the product move stably, without being displaced, ensuring product quality.
• The material of the belt and the conveyor frame are often made from high-strength materials, able to withstand large loads, withstand environmental impacts, ensuring the life of the conveyor belt.
• The speed and direction of the conveyor belt can be adjusted to suit each production process, and there are many different types of ribs to suit each type of product.

 

Disadvantages of ribbed conveyor belts to note

 

• Compared to other types of conveyor belts, ribbed conveyor belts often have higher initial investment costs due to their more complex structure and high-quality materials.
• When the belt is damaged or worn, replacement will be more complicated than other types of conveyor belts, requiring more technical skills and construction time.

  

Popular types of conveyor belt ribs

One of the important factors that determine the effectiveness of a ribbed conveyor belt is the type of rib used.
 

- V-ribbed:
 

• Features: The ribs are V-shaped, forming small grooves to help keep the product from slipping.
• Application: Often used to transport round, block-shaped products or small products.
• Advantages: Increase friction, prevent the product from slipping.
   

- T-shaped ribbed:

• Features: The ribbed ribs are T-shaped, forming barriers that prevent products from moving in the opposite direction.
• Application: Often used to transport large, heavy products or transport on slopes.
• Advantages: Prevent products from sliding backwards, ensuring safety.

 
- Ribbed adhesive:

• Features: Ribbed has a sharp spike shape, increasing maximum friction.
• Application: Often used to transport slippery products or products with smooth surfaces.
• Advantages: High adhesion, suitable for products that are difficult to transport.

- Herringbone ribbed tape:

• Features: Ribbed tape has a fishbone shape, forming deep and wide grooves.
• Application: Often used to transport large, heavy products or powder products.
• Advantages: Increases drainage and anti-adhesion.

  

Some types of ribbed conveyor belts used in industry

Ribbed conveyor belts are one of the types of conveyor belts widely used in today's industries. Here are some commonly used types:
 

1 - PU ribbed conveyor belt

Using PU ribbed conveyor belts in production helps prevent products from falling out during transportation and helps transport faster. PU conveyor belts are durable and heat-resistant, so they are used in many manufacturing industries. Depending on each manufacturing field, customers can choose the size and style of conveyor belt suitable for the intended use. Learn more about the characteristics of PU conveyor belts.

 

Structure of PU ribbed conveyor belt:

 

• Conveyor belt W180xL14000xH840
• Conveyor belt W180xL14500xH840
• Frame with aluminum profiles
• Blue PU ribbon with 2 ribs
• Use steel pipes, stainless steel pipes to assemble
• Double power socket
• Conveyor motor set works

 

2 - Ribbed double PVC conveyor belt

The conveyor belt is designed with a profiled aluminum frame, straight PVC tape to make transporting products simpler. In particular, the conveyor is also installed with extra wheels to help move easily on many different terrains. Ribbed PVC conveyor belt has many advantages with resistance to moisture, acid, oil. The surface of the conveyor belt is highly durable and does not stretch during use. Good heat resistance, resistance to tearing and peeling, so PVC conveyor belts are commonly used in many industrial production industries. Learn more about PVC conveyor belts.

Structure of PVC ribbed double conveyor belt:

• Dimensions: W1100xL20000xH750
• 180w geared motor, stepless control
• PVC tape with 4 evenly spaced ribs
• Profiled aluminum conveyor frame
• Working table made of MDF and ESD
• There are power lines on both sides
• D75 . wheel
• Adjustable leg

 

3 - V-ribbed rubber conveyor belt

• The conveyor belt is made of high-quality rubber, has high durability, is resistant to abrasion and environmental impacts.
• Thanks to the V-ribbed ribs, the conveyor belt has good adhesion on inclined surfaces, helping to transport materials to high places easily.
• Made of high-quality rubber, the conveyor belt has a long life and is resistant to environmental impacts.
• Easy to install and maintain: Simple structure, easy to install and replace parts when necessary.
• Transportation applications in manufacturing plants: Food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals,...
