Publications: Conveyor Belts

Belting covered in this handbook includes conveyor belting (used to transport bulk or packaged, boxed and bagged materials) and bucket elevator belting. The belting may be made of natural or synthetic rubbers as well as plastics, such as vinyl, with carcasses of textile fabrics, which are woven, nonwoven, solid woven, or stitched; fabric cords; or of steel cables. A new chapter presenting an energy efficient label and scale is included in this revision. This handbook is intended for the general guidance and reference of persons interested in the selection and use of conveyor and elevator belting.
