Abstract

A conveying installation has a conveying belt, comprising at least one side wall, constructed from in each case one polymer material with elastic properties, and/or at least one cleat, constructed from in each case one polymer material with elastic properties, and also having drums, load-bearing rollers and load-bearing frameworks, wherein the conveying installation forms a material-conveying upper strand, with a supply location for the conveying material, and an at least material-free lower strand. In the conveying installation at least one side wall and/or at least one cleat of the conveying belt contain/contains at least one foamed polymer mix.

Claims (13)

1. A conveying installation comprising:

a plurality of drums;

a plurality of carrying rollers;

a carrying structure; and,

a conveying belt having at least one of a side wall constructed from a polymeric material with elastic properties and a cleat constructed from a polymeric material with elastic properties;

the conveying installation forming a materials-conveying upper strand (A) with a charging location for the conveyed materials; and,

a usually materials-free lower strand (B),

wherein at least the side wall or the cleat includes at least one foamed polymer mixture, and

wherein the foamed polymer mixture comprises a rubber selected from the group consisting of natural rubber (NR), butadiene rubber (BR), chloroprene rubber (CR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), nitrile rubber (NBR), butyl rubber (IIR), ethylene-propylene rubber (EPM), ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), polyacrylate rubber (ACM), epichlorohydrin rubber (ECO), chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber (CSM), silicone rubber (MVQ), and fluoro rubber (FPM) or a mixture thereof.

2. The conveying installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the foamed polymer mixture comprises a rubber selected from the group consisting of EPDM, NR, SBR, NBR, CR, ACM, ECO, CSM, MVQ, and FPM or a mixture thereof.

3. The conveying installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the side wall includes the at least one foamed polymer mixture.

4. The conveying installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cleat includes the at least one foamed polymer mixture.

5. The conveying installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the side wall is provided in the form of an undulating edge.
