ContactAbout this property
The abrasion resistance of a belt depends on its covers and the abrasive power of the transported product, the cleaning system, brushes, scrapers, conveyor skirts, etc.
In order to establish a relationship between the different belts to know which are the most suitable for applications that require this property, esbelt® laboratory performs comparisons using the Taber Test.
Taber Test
The Taber test consists of subjecting samples of the belt to the action of abrasive wheels that wear away the surface of the belt during a specific number of turns or cycles. For optimal results, the same test conditions should be maintained in all comparative tests. The initial weight of the samples is determined prior to the test. Once finished, they are weighed again, so that the difference between the initial and final weight will indicate the wear or loss of cover. The greater the weight lost, the worse the abrasion resistance of the belt.
Results of some comparisons between our belts and those of the competition. The abrasion resistance determined according to the procedure detailed in ISO 5470-1, performed under the following test conditions:
Equipment used: TABER ABRASER 5151 – Abrasive wheels: H-18 – Overload weight: 1000 g – Total number of cycles: 2000.
Hipro Belts
Compared to equivalent belts on the market.
Results: Our Hipro belts lose on average 3 times less material than equivalent belts on the market.
PVC Breda Belts
Compared to standard commodity belts.
Results: Our Breda PVC belts lose on average 3 times less material than standard commodity PVC belts.
Febor Sugar Belts
Compared to rubber and PVC belts from 6 competitors.
Results: Our Febor sugar belts lose the least material among all the belts tested.
