Hanover, October 2014 STAHLCORD®Barrier is two to three times more impact resistant than conventional wire rope conveyor belts. • New transverse reinforcement effectively prevents impact punctures and longitudinal splits on conveyor belts. • Less downtime and more reliable and efficient operation ContiTech has developed STAHLCORD®Barrier, a metal frame conveyor belt designed to better resist damage and therefore offer a longer life in surface operations. With its robust transverse metal reinforced top layer, the conveyor belt is two to three times more impact resistant than wire rope conveyor belts without transverse reinforcement. “These properties make the conveyor belt ideal for transporting large, sharp-edged blocks in surface operations,” said Andrey Minkin, application engineer for ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group. Thanks to a new transverse reinforcement, STAHLCORD® Barrier is two to three times more impact resistant than conventional wire rope conveyor belts.

Frequent impact perforations damage the steel cables of the strip reinforcement. The transverse reinforcement brings more stability and security. STAHLCORD®Barrier is a metal frame conveyor belt with a rubber upper face in which thin steel cables are placed quite close to each other, perpendicular to the movement of the belt. They protect the large steel cables of the carcass and oppose perforations due to impact and thus prevent longitudinal edging of the strip. Thanks to its low elongation and the short tension stroke required, the STAHLCORD belt®Barrier is ideal, for example, for use on large excavators with backhoes. It can also be used in work environments where steel cable conveyor belts have to withstand rock impacts, such as on conveyors with multiple feed points. "With STAHLCORD® Barrier, nous établissons de nouveaux standards », explique M. Minkin. « Grâce à sa résistance à la perforation sous l’effet de chocs, le délignage longitudinal est pratiquement impossible ». La nouvelle bande transporteuse à câbles métalliques présente d'autres avantages parmi lesquels une mise en auge remarquable en accord avec la norme ISO 703:2007 et une adhérence des couches conforme à la norme ISO 15236. La bande transporteuse ne pèse que cinq pour cent de plus qu'une bande transporteuse classique à câbles acier sans renforcement transversal. ContiTech a fait appel à la synergie interne au cœur de l’entreprise pour le développement de STAHLCORD®Barrier and its new transverse reinforcement; this makes it possible to meet the severe requirements of the automotive industry. “Our customers benefit directly from this development know-how: and benefit from safe operation with extended maintenance intervals,” adds Minkin.
