What are conveyor belts made of?

• Carrying goods from one place to another can take
  tremendous amount of effort. Conveyor belts are,
  therefore, used widely for this purpose. They are
  mostly made of materials like rubber,
  thermoplastics, leather and fabric. The plastics
  commonly used are polyester, silicone,
  polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. Carbon steel
  and stainless steel are the metals that are used
  most often and the fabric used is mostly cotton
  or canvas. Out of all of these
• materials, the most common material is rubber.
  Rubber is the best option as it offers the
  following
• Flexibility
• Resistance
• Seamlessness

• In order to provide more strength to conveyor
  belts, they are made of a combo of materials.
  Usually, belts have a core material and an outer
  covering. It is important that you choose the
  right material for the purpose you are going to
  use the conveyor belt for.
• The incorrect material can affect the safety of
  the people working there and lead to a dip in
  their productivity. The material has to be a
  perfect fit for the environment. If it is a harsh
  one, the belt has to be durable enough. Search
  for a manufacturer who focuses on quality.
• The same goes for other custom molded rubber
  products like gaskets and oil seals, vibration
  mounts and timing belt.
