Rubber conveyor belts are the main components of belt conveyors, primarily used for large-scale continuous transportation, mainly transporting bulk, powder, paste, and packaged items. They are classified based on different patterned designs, such as Convex herringbone conveyor belt, striped patterned conveyor belts, and grain patterned conveyor belts, which have different properties. Among them, chevron patterned conveyor belts and striped patterned conveyor belts are the most similar, so how should we choose between the two?

The characteristic of Convex herringbone conveyor belt is that they have a chevron pattern that is raised above the belt body, and the pattern openings are closed. They are suitable for transporting powdery, granular, and small block materials at an angle of ≤40 degrees, and can also transport bagged materials. On the other hand, striped patterned rubber conveyor belts have a striped pattern that is raised above the belt body, and each pattern can be divided into sparse and dense forms based on the arrangement spacing. They are mainly suitable for horizontal transportation of packaging at an angle of ≤30 degrees. When forming a trough, they can replace chevron patterned belts.

There are differences between Convex herringbone conveyor belt and striped patterned rubber conveyor belts in terms of applicable scenarios and transportation capacity:

·Transportation capacity: Herringbone conveyor belt can effectively prevent material from sliding down, improving transportation capacity, and are suitable for steep angle transportation; striped patterned rubber conveyor belts are relatively weaker in preventing material from sliding and are mainly used for horizontal or small angle transportation.

·Friction: The design of Convex herringbone conveyor belt creates an interlocking state between the material and the chevron rubber conveyor belt, resulting in greater friction; the friction of striped rubber conveyor belts is relatively smaller.

·Manufacturing process: The manufacturing process of Convex herringbone conveyor belt is relatively complex, requiring the formation of specific shapes on the surface of the belt body, and parameters such as the height and angle of the pattern need to be precisely controlled; the manufacturing process of striped patterned rubber conveyor belts is relatively simple, only requiring the formation of raised or recessed stripes on the surface of the belt body.

Therefore, when transporting materials at a higher angle, Convex herringbone conveyor belt should be prioritized, while striped patterned rubber conveyor belts can be chosen for horizontal or small angle transportation.
