Belting fabrics are materials that hold the belt together while imparting strength and flexibility to it. They provide protection for moving components against damage by abrasion or impact. These belts can withstand high speeds in industrial machinery which is why these are widely used across various industries like automotive, plastics processing equipment, food & beverage industry, etc. Belting fabrics are textiles that can be used in various applications. They include textile materials such as steel, polyester, nylon and others with different combinations of fibers to develop high-strength fabric products.

On the basis of Type, the global belting fabrics market is segmented into Polyester, Nylon 66, Monofilament, Aramid, Steel, Others.

Polyester:

Polyester type of belting fabrics are the most widely used products that have replaced metal belts, chain drives, and paper-based conveyor systems. Polyester is mainly classified into two types: high modulus polyethylene terephthalate (HMPE) and low modulus polyethylene terephthalate (LMPT). Polyester types of belting fabrics is known for their high strength to weight ratio, excellent abrasion resistance. They can be used in various applications like transmission belts and conveyor belts because they provide better flexibility at low temperatures than other types of belting fabrics.

Nylon 66:

Nylon 66 type of belting fabric is a synthetic fiber that has high strength and excellent abrasion resistance. It can also withstand moderate levels of stress without stretching or breaking. Nylon 66 has the lowest coefficient of friction among all other nylon types which makes it ideal for conveyor, anti-skid belts in manufacturing processes such as in the food industry. It has the following features: High abrasion resistance. Heat stability at high temperature. Good chemical resistance. Resistance to water and steam. Good resistance to stress relaxation.

Monofilament:

The monofilament is one of the most preferred types of belting fabrics as it can be used for different applications like transmission belts, conveyor belts, and others. Monofilament belting fabrics are available in a wide range of weave styles and constructions such as plain, twill, satin, and much more. These belts can be designed using monofilaments with an impressive strength-to-weight ratio which provides high durability at low weight levels. Monofilament type of belting fabrics are sturdy, strong, and possess high wear resistance. They are also available in different colors for added utility.

Aramid:

Aramid type of belting fabric is a heat-resistant synthetic fiber that has an extraordinarily high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent dimensional stability. It was initially developed by DuPont in Japan, hence the name “aramid” which includes Nylon 66 and Kevlar. Aramid fibers are composed mainly of amide groups (-CONH-). Aramid belting fabrics offer outstanding stability and resistance to shock, service life, and chemical & heat resistance. They are characterized by high tensile strength with stiffness that is superior to rubber-based materials. These properties of aramid belts help them withstand extreme temperatures as well as maintain flexibility even at low temperatures where other types become rigid like aboard.

Steel:

Steel-type of belting fabrics is the most preferred type in the market and is suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications. These belts are tough and strong, durable and flexible at elevated temperatures without losing their strength or endurance properties. The steel cord layer is surrounded by a high tenacity textile construction which gives it greater flexibility under varying temperature conditions than other types of belting fabrics.

On the basis of Application, the global belting fabrics market is segmented into Transmission Belts, Sandwich Belts, Conveyor Belts, Others.

Transmission Belts:

Transmission belts are used for heavy-duty applications like in mining, construction, and manufacturing industries. Belting fabrics are used in the transmission belts to add strength and durability. They play a crucial role in transferring power from one place to another by reducing friction between two surfaces, such as steel shafts or pulleys. There is no use of belting fabric if it cannot provide excellent performance under different mechanical conditions and environmental factors.

Sandwich Belts:

The sandwich belts are used for high-temperature and pressure applications. These kinds of applications require a belting fabric with high mechanical properties, good resistance to abrasion and tear propagation as well as excellent thermal stability. The most common material used in the manufacture of these types of belts is nylon 66 or polyester due to its strength under very heavy loads which makes it extremely durable. As an example, during mining operations, where rocks can weigh up to 500 kilograms per cubic meter (500 kg/m³) air movement has been increased from 30% before using this kind of belt to 50%. Belting fabrics are used in Sandwich Belts, which can be defined as a simple belt made from one or more layers of fabric. These belts have at least two-ply and no steel cord reinforcement is included inside the belting materials. They use high-quality material to make these sandwich belts for flexible conveying systems with small pitch requirements such as those found in food processing plant machinery.

Conveyor Belts:

Conveyor belts are used for transporting materials from one place to another. A conveyor belt consists of a series of layers, where top layer is made up of an inelastic material (rubber or plastic) and the bottom layer is composed of a metal roller that enables it to move smoothly through different paths. Belting fabrics play a crucial role in manufacturing conveyors because they provide strength & durability to the rubber/plastic layer which holds together all other components i.e rollers and power transmission devices etc. Belting fabrics are used in conveyor belts for the power transmission and carrying of material, where high strength and temperature resistance is needed. The belting fabric provides a smooth surface to prevent slipping between two layers of v-belts or other belts.

On the basis of Region, the global belting fabrics market is segmented into North America, Middle East & Africa, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. The Asia Pacific region is forecast to be the fastest-growing market during the period 2019-2028, due to growth in manufacturing industries.
