Abstract

The main aim of this work is determination of tensile properties of conveyor belt in the longitudinal direction (along the warp) as well as in the transversal direction (in the weft). The tensile properties of the conveyor belt determine material of the carcass. Fabric conveyor belts have the carcass formed by several layers of textile plies. The warp is created by fibres in the longitudinal direction and the weft by fibres in the transverse direction. In the investigated conveyor belt was applied the usage of polyester fibres in the warp and polyamide fibres in the transverse weft. This conveyor belt has good resistance to formation and propagation of breakdowns and resistance to dynamic fatigue.
