Backed by outstanding conveyor belt technology and expertise, ContiTech can be found wherever
raw materials are extracted, processed and distributed. Making materials available in an as environmentally
sound manner as possible presents a technological challenge, time and time again, since raw material
belts are scattered throughout the world. They are found in rough topographic areas,
in cold and hot regions, above and below ground.

With our materials expertise, we lay the foundation for economical and reliable conveyor belts.
In the Northeim and Bad Blankenburg development centers, we develop and optimize materials, belt designs
and splicing technology for conveyor belts and conveyors, finely tuned to the respective
application conditions worldwide.
Our know-how of the material rubber and its bonding to
tension members gives rise to heavy-duty belt construc-
tions with special properties. Corporate-wide synergies are
also incorporated, for instance through the activities of the
ContiTech Competence Center in Hamburg or the com-
pound development of the Tires divisions. Developed for
specific application requirements, the conveyor belts are
cost-effective, safe, reliable and environmentally sound.
Some examples:
Energy-optimized conveyor belts with special cover stock
rubber compounds and specific tension members reduce
the deformation resistance and energy requirements, thus
cutting operating costs.
The service life of a belt can be extended with an anti-stick
cover that repels wet and sticky goods and minimizes belt
cleaning, and with an optimized cover stock that resists
sharp-edged goods for a longer period of time.
Conveyor belts made of self-extinguishing rubber com-
pounds provide fire protection.
The integration of electronics presents numerous benefits.
Micro components vulcanized into the cover can for
instance make it possible to partially automate conveyors
and prevent major belt damage.
Creative material development forms the

basis of our product competence
Coal is transported from the storage areas to bulk cargo ships up to
7 kilometers away in the Queensland harbor by steel cord conveyor
belts that cut the consumption of electricity thanks to energy-optimized
covers.

Our steel cord conveyor belts enable maximum conveying capacities and distances even under
extremely difficult topographical and climatic conditions – for surface and underground mining, loading
and unloading facilities, and other industries.
Steel cord conveyor belts – powerful over
Alabama, USA, a steel cord conveyor belt has been
transporting 750 tonnes of sharp-edged and heavy lime-
stone debris an hour for 19 years.
Our extensive product range comprises steel cord
conveyor belts with a variety of designs and cover stock
grades, in all strength classes and up to 6,400 mm wide.
For extreme loads, the conveyor belts are equipped with
an additional steel-cord or traverse reinforcement.
Steel cord conveyor belts ensure maximum conveying
performance, even under harsh conditions. Their robust
design guarantees high tensile strength at maximum
conveying capacity as well as excellent impact resist-
ance. They exhibit only slight elongation even over long
conveyor distances. Wear-resistant, rot and corrosion-
resistant, resistant to chemicals and thermally stable, our
steel cord conveyor belts provide long years of service
while requiring little maintenance. For example, in
Production of steel cord conveyor belts:
the cord tensioning process over the full
production length and belt width is monitored
by computer, making it possible to consistently
measure and control the entire
production process.

long distances and large conveying heights
With an effective nominal breaking strength of 8,500 N/mm, the steel
cord conveyor belt used here is exceptionally strong. At the same time,
it has the longest and strongest splice, which matches up to the stabili-
ty of the conveyor belt itself. Installed on two tunnel-conveyor-belt
systems at the Los Pelambres mine, the belt hauls up to 8,700 tonnes
of copper ore each hour over a distance of 12 kilometers. One positive
side-effect is that up to 25 megawatts of energy is generated as a result
of the downhill transport.

Textile conveyor belts – tailor-made soluti
q Reference: World’s largest tube conveyor belt for loading petroleum coke onto cargo ships in Barcelona, V
Our textile conveyor belts carry out diverse transport tasks while complying with stringent
safety regulations in surface and underground mining, machine and plant engineering, as well as many
other industries.
Our textile conveyor belts are given special properties for
the specific application, making them suitable for qoily and fatty goods q hot goods up to 200˚C q sharp-
edged goods and q steep conveying at inclines of
up to 30°.
Self-extinguishing belts are used wherever stringent
safety regulations must be fulfilled such as in under-
ground coal mining.
Depending on the requirements, our textile conveyor
belts are designed with a single or multi-ply textile
tension member and with various cover stock grades,
and, for extreme impacts or sharp-edged goods, with
an additional traverse reinforcement in the cover. The
belts, which are vulcanized on double-band units, have
a unique surface finish.
The extensive product range includes all strength clas-
ses and is available in widths up to 2,200 mm, and up to
5,600 mm as custom-designed versions.

ons for the most varied of applications
A tube conveyor provides a kilometer-long link between the harbor and
an ocean platform where cargo ships are loaded. It conveys more than
2,000 tonnes of petroleum coke an hour at a speed of four meters per
second. Tube conveyor belts with steel cord or textile reinforcement
wrap up into a hose-like shape to transport goods. In this way, they
prevent chemicals and other hazardous goods from coming in contact
with the environment. They are especially curve-negotiable and do not
require transfer points if there is a change in direction.

Our conveyor belt technology opens up possibilities for special-purpose conveyor belts
and creative special products that provide solutions for fully different tasks – for machine and plant
engineering as well as for numerous other application areas.
Special-purpose conveyor belts and pro
q Special filter belts convey and separate solids from
fluids such as in the production of fertilizers and flue gas
desulferization in coal-fired power plants. q Cover belts
protect materials in conveyors, bunkers and vacuum
containers as well as the environment. q Special-pur-
pose belts for conveyor systems are wear-resistant,
require little maintenance, run nearly silently and require
a low level of energy. In some cases, they even open up
new possibilities for some applications such as inclined
or high-speed conveying. Examples:q Sliding bed belts
q Block timing belts q Elevator belts q Feeder belts
in industrial wood processing q Worker belts, skid
carrying belts and lifting belts in car manufacturing or
in elevators and multi-story or underground parking
garages.
q Besides belts for conveying, other special products
include round-bale compressor belts for agricultural
combine harvesters and crawler belts for Pistenbullys.
A RopeCon® conveyor system, a combination of a rope-way and
conveyor, transports beech chips as raw material for cellulose
fibers over a factory site and over a river. Over the entire length
of the system, the housing of the conveyor belt keeps material
from being lost due to wind.

Precise systems solutions consisting of conveyor belts and matching service materials make us
a partner to original equipment manufacturers, operators, dealers and consultants. Ever more often,
we take on maintenance tasks, right up to full service of conveyors.
When planning or converting conveyors, we develop our
solutions in principle with a view to the entire conveyor
system. As systems supplier, we provide everything
required for conveyor system. For each conveyor belt, we
offer extensive service material that supports the functional
reliability and durability of the belt – e.g. pulley lagging,
scraper rubber, corrugated sidewalls, profiles and
materials for splicing and repairing conveyor belts.
Our electronic protection systems, which monitor the belt
surfaces and splices, provide for maximum functional
reliability. They identify and report damage at an early
stage, thus minimizing repair expense and downtimes.
“Conveying as required” is our motto when

Running at a speed of 8.48 m/s, the 1,100 mm wide steel cord con-
veyor belt transports prepared coal approximately 13 kilometers to the
coast where it is loaded onto ships – up to 4,500 tonnes per hour. Its
energy-optimized cover, which is just as wear-resistant as conventional
cover stock, reduces the system’s energy requirements by about
15 percent. This energy savings can amortize at least a third of the
investment costs for the belt.
