Used in underground mining operations where, it is very important that fi re risks be eliminated. Two kinds of fi re resistant belts are manufactured:
One is a specially treated SBR rubber, and the other a chloroprene conveyor belt. Nylon polyester reinforcing can be typically used for these belts.
Flame resistant conveyor belt is designed for the best service conditions of coal mining industries. It is suitable for mining, power plants, electric utilities, and coal cleaning plants.
FR grade rubber is specially compounded to meet the important characteristic of being self-extinguishable. Special compounds are used to ensure that FR grade covers still have good abrasion resistance properties, to ensure a long service life. These compounds meet the Australian standard requirements for FRAS S AS4606, certifying them for suitability in underground Coal Mining operations.
