Plied conveyor belting is manufactured with one or more ply of fabric. This fabric layer can be coated with PU, polymer or PVC. Yet, most conveyor belting is manufactured using two or more plies of fabric that are adhered to each other by using inner layers of PU, PVC or elastomer.
In addition, there can be top or bottom surface covers of rubber, polymer or elastomer.
While ply adhesion is defined as the force required to separate two adjoining plies, the reality is that ply adhesion is the force required to pull apart the adhesion that joins the plies. This is measured in pounds per inch or newtons per millimeter.
Conveyor belts operate on equipment that requires flexing over pulleys on the conveyor. This repeated flexing action will stress the ply adhesion of conveyor belts. As a result, it is important for the belt to have adequate ply adhesion to resist ply separation.
