Development History of Conveyor Belt

Conveyor belt has a long history in the world industry. As early as 1795, the United States formally put forward the concept of conveyor belt. In 1858, Americans applied for the patent of conveyor belt.

In 1933, the United Kingdom first standardized the conveyor belt. After the 1940s, with the modernization of mining in developed industrial countries such as the United States, Europe and Japan, the continuous large-scale enterprises of iron and steel, coal mines, cement and power plants, and the rapid development of synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber and resins, conveyor belt products have gradually formed a new industry, which plays an increasingly important role in material transportation. After more than half a century of rapid development, the conveyor belt has developed into a variety of multi-functional, multi-form, multi-specification high-tech products. It can convey both horizontally and obliquely, and possibly vertically, hovering up and down. It can convey both openly and enclosed. It can run in a straight line for a long distance and bend for a long distance. It can convey materials only and process materials in the process of conveying. Therefore, modern conveyor belt is considered to be one of the most economical and effective methods to solve environmental, energy, transportation, space congestion, labor force and production safety in the process of modern material transportation and processing. At present, the main development trend of conveyor belts in the world is to develop in the direction of multi-varieties, high strength, large-scale and lightweight.

"In the future, Boye County will further optimize the development environment, concentrate on the implementation of the strategy of industrial revitalization, improve the infrastructure construction of the rubber industrial park "seven links and one level", vigorously support the backbone enterprises of conveyor belt manufacturers, and guide them to tap their potential and make full contributions in expanding scale, upgrading, innovating marketing models and strengthening enterprise management. “Give full play to the brand effect of China (Boye) Conveyor Belt Industrial City, actively declare and implement the public service platform project of rubber conveyor belt industrial cluster, give full play to the advantages of cluster size, continuously extend the industrial chain, enhance the competitiveness and influence of Boye rubber conveyor belt regional brand, and make every effort to build the largest conveyor belt production base in China. “ Boye County Governor Zhang Cai said.
