A new rule for conveyor belts used in underground coal mining of the USA has come into force in 2010.
The ecological advantages of belt conveyors are becoming more and more important.. A study of a Mining University reveals interesting facts.

Dear Guest,
The intention of this site is to provide practical information about heavy duty conveyor belts with tensile members made of textile or steel, that normally is not found on commercial web sites.
The Conveyor Belt Guide is permanently growing and you will find certain chapters not being finished yet.
You are kindly encouraged to send your comments or questions.
With your support this guide will become better for the benefit of all who are working with this great product.
Copyright violations Established belt manfuacturers complain about an increasing number of copyright violations. Mainly emergent Indian and Chinese belt manufacturers are illegally copying illustrations from brochures and websites and use them for their own publications.
Although well-informed users of conveyor belts will detect such wrongdoings, it is an annoying behaviour which should be stopped by these newcomers.
We invite you to name such breaches to the ConveyorBeltGuide.
