Types of Conveyor Skirting

The conveyor skirtings produced by our company mainly include the following types:

Skirt Clamps

The Skirt Clamp is a rugged, easy-to-install fastening solution designed specifically to hold skirting rubber in place at belt edges. Whether you're installing skirting rubber sheets, polyurethane skirts, or custom containment systems, reliable clamping is essential for performance and safety.

Flat Rubber Skirt Rubber

Our Pure Rubber Skirt Rubber is a premium-grade, flame-retardant solution designed to seal conveyor edges, minimize spillage, and withstand abrasive conditions without breaking down.

Y Type Dural Seal Skirt Rubber

The Y Type Dural Seal Skirt Rubber is a specialized skirting solution engineered to meet those demands. This multiply skirt rubber features a dual-lip Y-profile that creates a tight seal on both sides of the conveyor belt.

Advantages of Conveyor Skirting

Dust Duppression

The primary reason to install conveyor skirting is to suppress dust. Dust poses a significant health issue as it can lead to respiratory issues and disease. Fine dust can also cause irritation, burning and damage if it gets into the eyes. In areas where dust is poorly contained, lower visibility due to dust pollution can pose a serious safety hazard for employees.

Minimised Material Loss

In a perfect world, 100 per cent of materials conveyed would arrive at their destination point. However, due to a range of factors such as conveyor speed, incline angle, roller/idler type (flat or troughed), material consistency, or environmental factors, materials are often spilled or blown off the belt.

Reduced Conveyor Belt Damage

Without a conveyor skirting system, material can spill out and become lodged underneath the belt. Material caught between the belt and rollers will cause the belt to mistrack and become damaged. Having a conveyor skirting system in place will reduce the risk of preventable belt damage caused by material build up.

Lowered Cleaning Costs

Dust pollution, material spillage and buildup require ongoing cleaning and maintenance to ensure conveyor systems run safely and smoothly. Without conveyor skirting, a system will require more maintenance which can be expensive due to cleaning labour costs and downtime from system shutdowns.

Increased Overall Productivity

Conveyor skirting can increase a conveyor’s overall productivity. With health and safety incidents minimised and material loss prevented, a higher product yield can be achieved. Reduced conveyor belt damage, belt tracking issues and material build up means less time is spent on repairs.

Applications of Conveyor Skirting

Mining Industry

Conveyor sealing skirts are extensively used in the mining industry, where conveyor belts play a pivotal role in transporting minerals, ores, and coal. These skirts help contain and redirect materials, reducing spillage and preventing environmental contamination.

Bulk Material Handling

Bulk material handling facilities, such as ports, grain elevators, and cement plants, rely on conveyor systems to transport a wide variety of bulk materials. They are crucial in these applications to prevent spillage, protect equipment, and maintain a clean working environment.

Recycling Facilities

Recycling facilities use conveyor systems to sort and transport recyclable materials like paper, plastics, and metals. Conveyor sealing skirts help contain loose materials and minimize dust emissions, improving workplace safety and environmental compliance.

Agriculture

They are used in agriculture for tasks like grain handling, fruit sorting, and livestock feed processing. Sealing skirts on agricultural conveyors prevent crop spillage, reduce contamination, and maintain the quality of the harvested products.

Food Processing

Food processing plants utilize conveyor systems for the efficient movement of ingredients and finished products. Conveyor sealing skirts ensure food safety by containing any spillage and preventing foreign materials from entering the production line.

Manufacturing

Conveyor belts are integral in manufacturing processes, including automotive, electronics, and packaging industries. Sealing skirts help maintain a clean and efficient manufacturing environment by containing raw materials, reducing waste, and preventing contamination.

Power Generation

Power plants, particularly coal-fired power plants, use conveyor systems for handling coal and ash. Sealing skirts on these conveyors are essential to prevent coal dust emissions, reducing the risk of explosions and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Construction

Construction sites often employ conveyor systems for the efficient transport of materials like sand, gravel, and concrete. Conveyor sealing skirts prevent material spillage, maintain a cleaner work area and reduce cleanup efforts.

Storage Considerations for Conveyor Skirting

During extended storage, the conveyor skirting roll should be covered with a tarp or dark plastic. Exposure to sunlight, rain and ozone can have detrimental effects on the rubber covers.

The cover should remain in place for the entire storage time. Ideally, the conveyor skirting should be rotated 90 degrees approximately every 90 days. Rotation should be performed in the same direction used to wind up the conveyor skirting. Rotating in the opposite direction could cause the roll to loosen or telescope.

It is important to make sure the conveyor skirting is not exposed to extreme temperatures during storage. Ideal temperature for storing a conveyor skirting is between 10° C and 35° C. Temperatures outside of this range for an extended period of time can have detrimental effects on the rubber compounds.

FAQ

Q: How does conveyor skirting prevent dust?

A: By creating a tight seal between the conveyor structure (e.g., chute walls) and the belt, skirting limits the escape of fine particles generated during material transfer. This reduces airborne dust, improving air quality and reducing health risks.

Q: How is conveyor skirting installed?

A: Installation involves mounting skirting strips to the conveyor frame or chute using brackets, clamps, or bolts. The skirting is positioned to lightly contact the belt’s surface without excessive pressure, ensuring a seal while avoiding belt damage.

Q: How often should conveyor skirting be inspected?

A: Skirting should be inspected weekly in high-use systems and monthly in moderate-use systems. Check for wear, gaps, misalignment, or damage (e.g., tears, cracks). More frequent inspections are needed for abrasive or heavy-duty applications.

Q: Can conveyor skirting be adjusted?

A: Yes, adjustable skirting systems use springs, threaded rods, or pneumatic cylinders to maintain optimal contact with the belt as the skirting wears. This extends the skirting’s lifespan and ensures consistent sealing.

Q: How does skirting affect conveyor belt life?

A: Properly installed skirting reduces belt wear by preventing debris from getting trapped between the belt and pulleys or idlers. However, over-tightened or misaligned skirting can cause excessive friction, leading to belt damage or premature failure.

Q: Is conveyor skirting suitable for wet materials?

A: Yes, but material selection is critical. Rubber or urethane skirting resists water and is suitable for wet bulk materials (e.g., sand, aggregates). Ensure skirting is properly sealed to prevent water from seeping into gaps and causing corrosion.
