Mineplast

Mineplast Fire-Resistant belting has a proven track record of delivering superior performance in coal mining and similar applications, where continuous high output relies on belt durability and reliability. Designed primarily for underground and surface applications, as well as other potentially hazardous environments, Mineplast Fire-Resistant meets—and often exceeds—global fire-resistance and anti-static safety standards.

Engineered with high-quality PVC compounds, customizable cover thickness, and a solid woven carcass, this belt is ideal for conveying coal, potash, phosphate, fertilizer, clay, gypsum, and salt, and is also well-suited for the timber industry.

Mineplast Pro

Our R&D team has recently developed Mineplast Pro PVC conveyor belts, designed to deliver superior quality with enhanced durability. Featuring a higher cover thickness of 3mm on the top and 2mm on the bottom, along with improved abrasion resistance, Mineplast Pro ensures an extended service life in coal mining and other demanding surface applications. Its robust construction guarantees optimal performance and reliability, even in high-output operations where belt endurance is critical.

Product Features

All-synthetic high tenacity centre warp yarns, for strength and minimum elongation.
All-synthetic pile warp yarns, to protect against impact damage, improve adhesion and give superb fastener bedding.
Composite weft yarn, to give optimum transverse rigidity and superb fastener holding.
Woven selvedge to reduce edge-ware and improve belt life.
Complete vacuum impregnation and consolidation of PVC compound through solid woven fabric, to improve tear strength and to reduce ingress of moisture.
Special PVC cover, to reduce abrasion and improve carrying capacity through the life of the belt.

We deploy wide-ranging engineering capabilities to complete manufacturing of products on schedule realizing that our products drive our customer's business ahead.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Belt Nomenclature

Belts can be manufactured to various tensile strengths. Different markets may specify or enquire in different terms, for example, they may quantify either in Ibs/in or in kN/m. The table below gives the tensile strength of our range of belts in lbs/in and kN/m.

The belt designation has been expressed in lbs/in with the corresponding values in kN/m provided. The typical values of warp and weft tensile strength are given in the table based on a 1mm PVC cover thickness.

Belt Thickness

The textile content of Solid Woven Mineplast belting, as compared to ply belting is high and the properties exhibited by the bulk carcass are far better. Thus, a thinner cover can be chosen than one that would be normally associated with a ply belt, largely due to Mineplast’s enhanced carcass density, which provides the load-bearing support.

Belt Weight

A lower belt weight in solid woven belting, as compared to a ply belt, may be advantageous for a long conveyor as it saves on power consumption, a factor that customers may take into consideration.

Drum Diameters

Recommended minimum drum diameters are provided for general applications. However, if conveyor details like angle of wrap, belt speed, tension and method of jointing are furnished, it is possible to suggest smaller drum diameters.

Factor of Safety

The operating factor of safety is 10:1 with a superior quality joint whether vulcanized or mechanical.

Belt Stretch

Mineplast Solid Woven belting is manufactured with a unique design and in such a manner that the elongation in service is kept to a minimum.

Technical Specifications

The table below shows nominal figures for minimum warp & weft breaking strengths, belt thickness & weight for a selection of belt types, based on 1mm x 1mm PVC covers on either side. For every additional 1 mm PVC cover, add 1.25 kg/sq.mtr. or 0.204816 lbs/sq. ft. for PVC covers.

THE MINEPLAST & MINEPLAST PRO ADVANTAGE

At ICL, safety is our top priority, which is why our high-performance belts are the result of a fully integrated in-house development process. From yarn preparation and fabric weaving to compound mixing and belt finishing, every stage is meticulously controlled to ensure the highest global standards of safety and performance. Our rigorous quality control measures guarantee reliability, with each belt undergoing comprehensive testing for physical durability,fire resistance, and anti-static properties.

We specialize in Solid Woven Conveyor Belting, engineered with a superior carcass that offers complete moisture resistance. Key advantages of our Solid Woven conveyor belts include:

Lower power requirement when compared to Rubber Belts due to the lower weight of PVC belt.
Pully diameter requirement will be less in case of PVC Belt when compared to the Rubber belt as the flex fatigue is lower in the case of solid woven carcass.
