For long high-capacity conveyors, rolling resistance between belt and rollers consumes continuous power. Electricity cost is one of the major recurring operating expenses for mines and ports. Continental Eco low rolling resistance conveyor belt cuts rolling resistance while maintaining abrasion performance to save power.
Eco series uses special low-resistance rubber compound to reduce friction loss on idlers. For long continuous conveying lines, field test shows 15~30% system power saving without sacrificing wear resistance. Still suitable for abrasive bulk like ore and coal.
Energy saving benefit is most prominent on overland mine conveyors and long port galleries. Power saved over years can offset extra belt purchasing premium. Reduced power consumption cuts carbon emission, meeting ESG requirements for green mine and low-carbon port projects and becomes popular for overseas EPC tender.
