Product Introduction
Effective containment of bulk material on conveyor belts begins at the skirt board. The flat rubber skirting strip is one of the simplest yet most critical components: it forms the sealing edge between the belt and the skirt board. The YIQI Flat Rubber Skirt Strip is engineered to deliver consistent, customizable skirting performance in heavy-duty conditions such as mining, aggregate, cement, ports and bulk terminals.
Unlike pre-molded profiles that require specific mounting channels, this flat-profile version installs easily along any skirtboard surface. With predictable wear behavior, adjustable tensioning compatibility and a wide selection of rubber compounds, it offers maintenance teams a practical option that reduces spillage, minimizes dust leaks and protects belt edges.
Product Highlights
100% Pure Rubber Compound
Crafted using high-grade, unblended rubber - no recycled content or fillers - for superior tear strength, elasticity, and wear life.
Fire-Retardant Performance
Meets flame-resistance requirements for use in combustible or high-heat zones.
Simplified Flat Profile
Flat profile is easy to install, trim, and replace while providing reliable sealing.
Long-Term Abrasion Resistance
High-density rubber resists cracking and deformation in abrasive environments.
Easy Installation
Field-friendly, compatible with skirt rubber board and clamp-style conveyor skirting systems.
No Belt Damage
Optimized Shore A hardness ensures sealing without scoring the belt.

Application Industries
Flat rubber skirting strips play a vital role in a broad range of conveyor applications:
Quarry & Aggregate Plants: where crushed rock and stone fines attack skirt edges and cause frequent belt edge wear. Well-tensioned flat strips reduce free return side spillage.
Cement & Clinker Handling: powders and fines near feed points demand resilient contact with the belt edge to prevent dust leaks.
Port & Bulk Terminals: open-air conveyors handling coal, ore or fertilizer benefit from simple, robust strips that are quick to replace in remote installation zones.
Recycling & Waste-handling: conveyors dealing with mixed materials and edge wear require cost-effective skirt strip solutions.
Any conveyor system with skirt board channels looking for a low-complexity sealing solution.
By maintaining a snug fit between the rubber strip and the belt edge-and ensuring the skirt rubber remains in continuous contact-operators reduce housekeeping efforts, minimize belt cover edge damage and achieve cleaner transfer zones.
Mounting and Compatibility
Our Pure Rubber Skirt Rubber integrates seamlessly with:
- Bolt-on skirt rubber board installations
- Clamp-on conveyor skirting setups
- Side-seal kits for single or double-sided sealing
- Horizontal and vertical belt edges
- Retrofits and OEM systems
Why Choose YIQI Flat Rubber Skirt Strip?
Traditional skirt rubber strips often use one-size-fits-all compounds and remain unchanged throughout their life cycle-leading to frequent failures under different wear conditions. Here's why YIQI's solution stands out:
Tailored rubber compounds developed for real-world conveyor abrasion, edge geometry and belt speed conditions.
Maintenance-friendly design allows in-field strip replacement without full skirtboard removal.
Wide range of sizes and mounting compatibility means easy retrofit into existing clamp systems.
Robust product logistics and overseas supply chain ensures you get spares when you need them.
Engineering support for strip spacing, tensioning, and wear monitoring-helping you set up a smart maintenance plan.
System Benefits for Conveyor Operators
- Reduced spillage and dust leakage-tight seal at belt-skirt interface improves material containment.
- Lower maintenance cost-flat strips and easy replacement mean less downtime and fewer full board changeouts.
- Improved belt life-prevents belt edge damage by maintaining constant contact with skirt rubber.
- Better housekeeping-fewer fines escaping transfer zones translate into cleaner work-areas and safer plants.
- Streamlined inventory-standard sizes and compatible mounting simplify spare-part management.
FAQ
Q: Can flat rubber strips handle high belt speeds?
A: Yes. With proper compound selection and correct clamp tensioning, flat rubber strips can be effective at belt speeds up to 4.0 m/s or more.
Q: Are custom widths available?
A: Absolutely. YIQI supports custom widths, thicknesses and colors on request.
Q: Does the strip require special tools for installation?
A: No - standard hand tools are sufficient. Replacement is fast and can be done during routine maintenance windows.
Q: How do I know when to replace the strip?
A: Replace when the rubber shows significant wear, thinning or loss of contact pressure with the belt edge-typically when about 30–40% worn.
Q: Can this strip be used in corrosive or outdoor applications?
A: Yes. We supply compounds and hardware suited for salt-air, wet and dusty environments.
