Conveyor or transmission belts or belting, of vulcanized rubber

CPC v2.1 Code: 3624

About conveyor or transmission belts or belting, of vulcanized rubber

cpc code 3624 covers the production of conveyor or transmission belts and belting made from vulcanized rubber. These essential industrial components play a crucial role in the efficient operation of a wide range of manufacturing and material handling processes across numerous sectors. As a key part of the broader rubber products industry, the 3624 classification is an important contributor to the overall economy, facilitating the smooth flow of goods and materials throughout global supply chains.

Production process

The production of conveyor and transmission belts under cpc code 3624 typically involves a multi-step vulcanization process. Raw rubber materials are first compounded with various additives and fillers to achieve the desired physical properties. The rubber compound is then extruded or calendered into thin sheets or strips, which are cut and spliced to form the belt or belting. Finally, the rubber components undergo vulcanization, a thermal treatment that cross-links the polymer chains to enhance the belt's strength, flexibility, and durability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of conveyor and transmission belts under cpc code 3624 include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as various reinforcing materials such as textile fabrics, steel cords, or polyester fibers. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and vulcanization presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, various chemicals and additives, including accelerators, antioxidants, and fillers, are used to modify the properties of the rubber compound.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 3624 is conveyor and transmission belts, which are widely used in a variety of industries, including 3811 Mining and quarrying machinery, 3812 Food, beverage and tobacco processing machinery, and 3813 Textile, apparel and leather production machinery. These belts are crucial components that facilitate the efficient movement of materials, goods, and products throughout manufacturing and logistics operations. The output of cpc code 3624 may also be consumed by other related industries, such as 3822 Lifting and handling equipment.
