Why is the Surface of Conveyor Belt Made Rough？

Conveyor belt is a device used to transport materials or items from one location to another. Sometimes surface of the conveyor belt is made rough and used for specific functional purposes. This text introduces why is the surface of conveyor belt made rough and rough top conveyor belt application and its advantages.

• Anti-slipping: The surface of the conveyor belt is made rough and tight so that when the conveyor belt moves or stops, the items placed on it will not slide due to inertia. And the rough surface increase the friction between the belt and the items transported to ensure the items not slip or fall during transportation.
• Incline Conveyor: In incline or decline conveyor systems, the rough surface can resist gravity, increasing the grip between the conveyor belt and the material being transported, preventing objects from sliding off.
• Wear & Tear Resistance: Rough surface belts are generally more resistant to wear and tear than smooth surface belts, especially when used in heavy or rough handling environments, effectively prolong belt life service.
• Vibration absorption: Belt rough surface will mollify and absorb vibrations and impact received on conveyed items.
