Conveyor Belt Systems
The development of a special rubber compound has enabled ContiTech, the world’s leading manufacturer of conveyor belts, to minimize the rolling resistance of conveyor belts, thus achieving a 20 percent reduction in the amount of energy consumed during the transportation of raw materials.
By stepping up the use of conveyor belts in conveying raw materials, a reduction of 340 million tons of CO2 can be achieved in the next 30 years. This is because conveyor belts require considerably less energy in transporting raw and bulk materials than other solutions; some systems don't consume any energy at all and even generate electricity.
This anti-stick-coating is a blessing for the environment: Thanks to its dirt-repellant surface, ContiClean® A-H belt incurs minimum expenses for servicing. The consumption of cleansing agents is reduced – and the environment lets loose a sigh of relief.
