UNDERGROUND MINING BELTS FEATURES & BENEFITS 

Our high-performance belts offer your mining operations numerous advantages:

  • Increased safety—Compliance with MSHA, CAN, and ISO standards. Our fire-retardant belts meet MSHA Part 14 regulations for fire resistance.
  • Strong and durable—Exceptional impact damage and tear resistance to ensure a long lifespan. They offer a tensile strength of up to 1,400 PIW and reliably operate in the most hostile mining and tunneling environments.
  • Reduced environmental impact—Lowers your environmental footprint by decreasing dust and noise production while conserving fuel and reducing emissions.
  • High tensile strength—Belt failure is hazardous and results in expensive downtime. Our underground conveyor belts have a high tensile strength that exceeds requirements.
  • Range of sizes—Available in up to 60” widths (wider on request).

UNDERGROUND CONVEYOR BELTS MEET INTERNATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION STANDARDS 

Fire is one of the biggest risks in mine and tunnel operations. The fire-retardant underground conveyor belts we carry meet a long list of regulations developed to protect workers and physical assets. These belts comply with international MSHA, CAN, and ISO standards. 

Our belts undergo rigorous factory testing to simulate the harsh realities of underground mining. They’re designed to resist ignition and minimize the spread of flames should a fire break out. They also have anti-static properties to prevent static electricity accumulation.

Regardless of your mine location, you can trust the regulatory compliance and protection provided by our fire-retardant belts.
