Conveyor belt with ball-type reinforcement on the backing side
The invention relates to a conveyor belt ( 1 ) provided with a bearing side ( 2 ) and a backing side ( 3 ) made of an elastomer material, and a reinforcement carrier ( 4 ) embedded therein, wherein the backing side ( 3 ) is reinforced with ball-shaped elements ( 5 ).
1. Conveyor belt ( 1 ) having a bearing side ( 2 ) and a backing side ( 3 ) made of elastomer material, as well as an embedded reinforcement carrier ( 4 ), wherein the backing side ( 3 ) is reinforced with ball-type elements ( 5 ), each ball-type element having a diameter of 1 to 5mm, and wherein the elastomer density of each ball-type element reinforcement is 1.0 to 2.0 g/cm 3 .
2. Conveyor belt according to claim 1 , wherein the ball-type elements ( 5 ) are disposed within at least one layer ( 6 ).
3. Conveyor belt according to claim 2 , wherein the ball-type elements ( 5 ) are disposed within a single layer ( 6 ).
4. Conveyor belt according to claim 2 , wherein the layer(s) ( 6 ) is/are disposed close to the reinforcement carrier ( 4 ).
5. Conveyor belt according to claim 2 , wherein the layer(s) is/are disposed approximately in the center of the backing side ( 3 ) with reference to the thickness of the backing side.
6. Conveyor belt according to claim 2 , wherein layer(s) is/are disposed close to the surface of the backing side ( 3 ) with complete embedding.
7. Conveyor belt according to claim 1 , wherein each ball-type element reinforcement extends essentially over the entire width of the conveyor belt.
8. Conveyor belt according to claim 1 , wherein each ball-type element reinforcement extends essentially over the entire length of the conveyor belt.
9. Conveyor belt according to claim 1 , wherein the ball-type elements ( 5 ) are made of plastic.
10. Conveyor belt according to claim 9 , wherein the ball-type elements are made of polyurethane (PUR) or polyoxymethylene (POM).
11. Conveyor belt according to claim 1 , wherein the ball-type elements ( 5 ) are made of glass.
12. Conveyor belt according to claim 1 , wherein the ball-type elements ( 5 ) are made of a metallic material.
13. Conveyor belt according to claim 12 , wherein the ball-type elements ( 5 ) are made of a steel that has been hardened throughout, or of aluminum or lead.
14. Conveyor belt according to claim 1 , wherein the ball-type elements ( 5 ) have essentially the same diameter.
15. Conveyor belt according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter of each ball-type element ( 5 ) is 3 to 4 mm.
16. Conveyor belt according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomer density of each ball-type element reinforcement is 1.1 to 1.6 g/cm 3 .
