Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A conveyor belt includes a first outer sheet disposed on a loadbearing side of the conveyor belt, a second outer sheet disposed on a drive side of the conveyor belt, and an embedded tension-member system disposed between the two sides, which is in the form of cords running parallel in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt. The tension-member system includes steel and, prior to vulcanization of the conveyor belt, an expandable coating which, after vulcanization of the conveyor belt, has a pore structure provided to at least portions of the tension-member system. The sheets are formed from a polymeric material with resilient properties. In some aspects, the volume of the coating after vulcanization is from 30 to 5000% higher than prior to vulcanization. The coating may contain at least one of a blowing agent and/or microbeads.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A conveyor belt comprising a first outer sheet disposed on a loadbearing side, a second outer sheet disposed on a drive side, and an embedded tension-member system in the form of cords running parallel in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt, wherein the tension-member system comprises steel and, prior to vulcanization of the conveyor belt, an expandable coating which, after vulcanization of the conveyor belt, has a pore structure provided to at least portions of the tension-member system, and wherein the sheets comprise a polymeric material with resilient properties. 2 . The conveyor belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein volume of the coating after vulcanization is from 30 to 5000% higher than prior to vulcanization. 3 . The conveyor belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coating comprises at least one blowing agent and/or microbeads. 4 . The conveyor belt as claimed as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tension-member system is composed of at least 50% by volume of steel. 5 . The conveyor belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coating has been provided to all or parts of central core strands of the cords of the tension-member system. 6 . The conveyor belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coating has been provided to all or parts of central core strands and core strands of outer strands of the cords of the tension-member system.
