Product Description Conveyor Buffer Strip: The Unsung Hero of Loading Zone ProtectionConveyor systems are the arteries of bulk material handling, constantly transporting ore, coal, aggregate, and countless other materials. One critical area prone to severe wear and potential damage is the loading zone, where material impacts the belt from a height or at high velocity. This is where the Conveyor Buffer Strip (also known as Impact Bars, Impact Cradles, or Skirtboard Rubber) plays a vital, often underappreciated role. It acts as a sacrificial shield and a dampening layer, protecting the expensive conveyor belt and the structure itself.Product DescriptionFunction: The Primary MissionThe core function of a conveyor buffer strip is multifaceted:Impact Absorption: To absorb the kinetic energy of falling material, drastically reducing the impact force transmitted directly to the conveyor belt carcass and splice. This prevents premature belt fatigue, ply separation, and splice failure.Material Containment & Flow Guidance: Working in conjunction with skirtboard seals, it helps contain material within the loading chute, reducing spillage and dust generation by guiding material centrally onto the belt.Wear Protection: It protects the underlying conveyor structure (stringers, idlers, chutework) from abrasive wear caused by direct material contact.Belt Support: Provides continuous support across the width of the belt in the impact zone, preventing belt sagging between idlers and reducing edge damage.Noise & Vibration Reduction: Significantly dampens the noise and vibration generated by impacting material, improving the working environment.Product ParametersMaterial & Properties: The Building Blocks of PerformanceBuffer strips are manufactured from highly durable, resilient elastomeric compounds. The choice of material directly dictates its performance characteristics and suitability for specific applications:Material TypeKey PropertiesTypical Density (kg/m3)Typical Hardness (Shore A)Max.

Fast replacement compared to major repairs.High return on investment (ROI) through major cost avoidance.Conclusion: An Essential InvestmentThe conveyor buffer strip is far more than just a piece of rubber or polyurethane. It is a critical engineered component strategically placed at the most vulnerable point of the conveyor system. By effectively absorbing impact, containing material, and protecting both the belt and structure from wear, it delivers substantial operational and financial benefits. Selecting the right material and design for the specific application (material type, lump size, drop height, temperature, chemical exposure) is paramount to maximizing these advantages. Investing in high-quality conveyor buffer strips is a proven strategy for reducing operating costs, minimizing downtime, and extending the overall life of valuable conveyor assets.
