Bulk material handling at ports and terminals, including iron ore, coal, grain, and fertilizers, and other commodities, is characterized by high throughput, continuous operation, and exposure to coastal environments. Conveyor belts must therefore deliver heavy-duty performance, weather resistance, corrosion protection, and suitability for a wide range of conveyed materials.

To support the efficient loading and unloading of large vessels, conveyor belts must provide high conveying capacity, high tensile strength, and low elongation. Steel cord conveyor belts are commonly selected for these demanding applications due to their superior load-carrying capability and dimensional stability.

Operating in exposed marine environments, conveyor belts must withstand salt spray, high humidity, strong winds, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. Excellent weather and corrosion resistance are essential to prevent premature cover aging, cracking, and corrosion of the belt reinforcement.

As ports handle a diverse range of bulk materials, conveyor belts must be selected according to specific application requirements and material characteristics. For grain handling, oil-resistant and anti-static properties help prevent belt degradation and reduce the risk of dust explosions in enclosed areas. When conveying fertilizers and other corrosive materials, excellent resistance to chemicals is required.
