Reinforcement properties

Made of high-tensile steel cords and various cover grades (see below). A typical carcass with 7 x 7 hot-galvanised steel cords provides a tensile strength of up to 2,000 N/mm. Also available as 7 x 19 for higher tensile strength (10 000 N/mm).

Standard cords have an elongation of 0.22 - 0.28%. High structural strength and pull-out strength ensure good resistance against fatigue. The open cross-lay design of the cords and the chemical adhesive system ensure that the core rubber penetrates thoroughly, bonds well and protects against corrosion for long-term integrity.

Cover grades

The belts come with various cover grades, all made of high-quality rubber with extremely high resistance to abrasion, cutting and impact and with excellent ageing properties. The choice of cover grade will depend on the application and will also determine the working life of the belt. Matching the right belt to your application means generating less waste in the long run &#; helping you to reach your sustainability targets.

Wear-resistant

Available in X, Y, W grades (and similar) for heavy-wear conveying applications such as bulky, sharp materials like heavy, abrasive rocks. High-quality cover grades are recommended to offer the best protection to the belt carcass.

Heat-resistant

Different types of grades are available for high-temperature applications (T120 and T200) such as clinker, coke, foundry sand and slag. Can be used for transporting material at continuous temperatures of up to 190 °C, with peaks of up to 200 °C

Flame-resistant

Steelcord Conveyor Belt Construction

The Continental steelcord belt families Phoenix Phoenocord and Flexsteel provide superior impact resistance, with the number and size being selected to meet the desired operating tension and application needs. The insulation gum is specifically designed to encapsulate each steel cord filament to reduce internal friction while providing enhanced adhesion to the cover rubbers. Top and bottom covers provide maximum protection to the steel cord. The cover compounds are specifically designed to meet the demands of the application and are available in a wide variety of rubber types and gauges.


There are four component parts of Phoenix Phoenocord and Flexsteel belting, each one critical to belt performance.

Zinc galvanized steel cord

Phoenix Phoenocord are designed by selecting cord construction to provide the best specification for a particular application. The cords, made up of many wire filaments, are constructed to provide high flexibility, low elongation and permit efficient and high-strength splice designs. The galvanized zinc coating produces a bonding agent between the cord and insulation gum and provides an important barrier against corrosion.

Insulation gum (core rubber)

Extensive rubber compounding technology has enabled Phoenix Phoenocord engineers to develop a superior insulation gum bonding rubber, which penetrates and adheres to the steel cords. The result is excellent adhesions, corrosion resistance and splice efficiencies.

Top cover breaker

Provides additional localized puncture resistance from heavy impact loads that can lead to premature carcass damage.

Bottom cover breaker

Provides additional localized puncture resistance from trapped material that can lead to premature carcass damage.

Outer rubber covers

The advanced compounds in the top and bottom of Phoenix Phoenocord covers are designed to protect the steel cord strength member against the abusive environmental conditions prevalent in most conveying applications. Compounds are available to withstand abrasion, jagged cutting and gouging, high impact, sub-zero temperatures, moderate heat, hardening effects of ozone attack and fire propagation.
