• The history of conveyor belts begins in the
  latter 1/2 the 17th century. Since then, conveyor
  belts have been an inevitable a part of material
  transportation. But it was in 1795 that conveyor
  belts became a preferred means that for
  conveyance bulk materials. In the beginning,
  conveyor belts were used only for moving grain
  sacks to short distances.

• The conveyor belt system and dealing were quite
  simple within the period. The conveyor belt
  system had a flat wood bed and a belt that
  traveled over the wooden bed. Earlier, conveyor
  belts were made of animal skin, canvas or rubber.

• This primitive conveyor belt system was very
  fashionable for conveying large things from one
  place to a different. In the beginning of the
  twentieth century, the applications of conveyor
  belts became wider.

• Hymle Goddard of Mount Logan Company was the
  initial to receive the patent for the roller
  conveyor in 1908. The roller conveyor business
  did not prosper. A few years later, in 1919,
  powered and free conveyors were used in
  automotive production. Thus, conveyor belts
  became popular tools for conveyance serious and
  massive merchandise among factories.

• During the Nineteen Twenties, conveyor belts were
  common, and also underwent tremendous changes.
  Conveyor belts were used in coal mines to handle
  runs of coal for over 8kms, and were made
  victimisation layers of cotton and rubber covers.
  The longest cotton and rubber conveyor belt now
  in use is sixty miles long, in the phosphate
  mines of Spanish Sahara.

• One of the turning points within the history of
  conveyor belts was the introduction of synthetic
  conveyor belts. It was introduced during the
  Second war, mainly as a result of of the
  inadequacy of natural materials like cotton,
  rubber and canvas. Since then, synthetic conveyor
  belts have become widespread in numerous fields.

• With the increasing demand in the market, many
  artificial polymers and materials began to be
  utilized in the manufacture of conveyor belts.

• Today, cotton, canvas, EPDM, leather, neoprene,
  nylon, polyester, polyurethane, urethane, PVC,
  rubber, silicone and steel are unremarkably used
  in conveyor belts. Nowadays, the material used
  for creating a conveyer belt is set by its
  application.
