Conveyor belt fabric is made up of weft yarns which run cross-wise and warp yarns, which run lengthwise. There are four common weave patterns: straight-warp weave, plain weave, woven-cord weave and solid-wove weave. 

The "straight-warp" weave is when the warp yarns are uncrimped. Weft yarns are laid transversely and alternately, above and below the main tension yarns. The yarns are locked together by another series of lengthwise yarns known as the binder warp system, which locks the tension and weft cords tightly together. This eliminates "geometric stretch". This type of weave is not recommended for a belt curve. 

In the "plain weave", the weft and the warp pass over and under each other. Both members are crimped. Because there is a great deal of stretch in either direction, this type of weave is suitable for a power belt curve. 

The "woven cord" weave has strong warp yarns and light weight, interwoven filler yarns. The filler yarns hold the carcass together during the belt manufacture. This fabric is used in combination with plies of plain weave fabric as a conveyor belt fabric carcass. 

The "solid-woven" weave is an extension of the "straight warp" weave. This is a fabric with multiple weave, at least two warp systems and two or more planes of filling yarn. It is used primarily in single-ply belts. This type of weave is not recommended for a belt curve. 

Today, most conveyor belt fabrics are produced with polyester warps and nylon wefts. This allows low stretch, high strength, with load support, impact resistance and fastener-holding ability. In most cases, no other part of the belt conveyor system will be more economically important than the conveyor belt itself. the selection of the conveyor belt must be carefully made. Defeng has years of hands on experience with belting. We will be able to guide you towards the best belt available to fit your application needs.
