Conveyor belts look alike on a yard, but two belts with the same designation can last very differently. The difference is in the compound, the fabric and the curing, which a buyer cannot see. These are the checks that tell a good supplier from a risky one.
Seven things to check
- Manufacturer or trader: does the supplier compound, calender, build and cure in its own plant? A maker can trace and stand behind every belt.
- Named standard: the belt should be built to a named standard such as IS 1891, DIN 22102 or ISO 14890, and the quotation should say which.
- Test certificate: ask for a certificate with each supply, from specimens of the production run (tensile, elongation, abrasion, adhesion).
- Inspection before dispatch: a confident supplier lets you or a third party witness the tests.
- Datasheet for the exact belt: thickness, weight, covers and grade, not a generic brochure.
- Engineering help: the supplier should check your rating and pulleys, not just quote a price per metre.
- Quality system: ISO 9001 certification shows documented procedures.
