About rubber; vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, (reinforced with other than metal only or textile materials only)

HS code 401019 covers vulcanized rubber conveyor belts and belting, reinforced with materials other than metal or textile. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including mining, construction, and manufacturing, by providing durable and reliable transportation solutions for heavy materials and goods. As a key component of industrial infrastructure, the 401019 industry contributes significantly to the broader economy, enabling the efficient movement of essential resources and products.

Production process

The production of vulcanized rubber conveyor belts and belting involves a multi-step process. First, raw rubber is compounded with various additives, such as fillers, accelerators, and vulcanizing agents, to enhance its physical properties. The rubber compound is then extruded or calendered into thin sheets or strips. These sheets are then reinforced with materials like fabric, fiberglass, or synthetic cords, depending on the desired strength and flexibility requirements. Finally, the reinforced rubber sheets are vulcanized, a process that crosslinks the polymer chains, resulting in a durable and resilient conveyor belt material.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 401019 industry include natural and synthetic rubber, reinforcing materials (e.g., fabric, fiberglass, or synthetic cords), and various chemical additives such as fillers, accelerators, and vulcanizing agents. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and vulcanizing presses, are essential for the production of conveyor belts and belting.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 401019 industry is vulcanized rubber conveyor belts and belting, which are used in a wide range of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 421120 Mining and Quarrying Machinery, 842940 Machinery for Sorting, Screening, Separating, Washing, Crushing, Grinding, Mixing or Kneading Earth, Stone, Ores or Other Mineral Substances, and 842951 Machinery for Lifting, Handling, Loading or Unloading, which rely on durable and efficient material handling solutions.
