Coal Quest Conveyor Belt

Coal Quest belts provides superior mechanical fastener holding strength, unbeatable vulcanized splice capabilities, a high degree of flexibility, and great impact, tear and rip resistance

See the difference with the Coal Quest Conveyor Belt

Flame Resistance Underground coal belts require additional flame resistance and flame propagation cover properties. Our SHIELD ™ compound exceeds MSHA’s part 14, B.E.L.T. flame resistance and flame propagation requirements while also providing low smoke toxicity and density safety characteristics as well as outstanding abrasion resistance. We also offer standard ARMA compound for ASTM D378 Part 13.2 flame resistance and ARMA II where superior abrasion resistance is required. See the compounds section on page 82 for available compounds. Impact Resistance Goodyear Engineered Products underground belts come well prepared to withstand the worst. That’s because loading impact damage, a major cause of belt failure, is already assessed and predicted at our Technical Center laboratory. During the design phase, our design engineers utilize an enhanced Dynamic Impact Tester to accurately simulate loading impact force and its effects on belting. It is information like this that contributed to the design of our Triple-Warp™ fabric weave. Tear Resistance A misaligned belt can suffer edge tears by running into the structure. Tears can also occur as a result of material punctures. Thanks to the extremely high transverse tear strength of Coal Quest belts, these occurrences are minimized and contained. Rip Resistance Scrap metal and other debris can penetrate and greatly damage a belt. If these foreign objects get hung up in the structure, it can lead to equipment damage, material spillage and even slits or cuts in long sections of the belt. The Triple-Warp fabric design of Coal Quest belting helps dislodge and expel foreign objects and contain rips to a small area. Fastener Retention The mechanical fastener splices of Coal Quest belts are rated at 100% of the rated working tension. At our world-class Technical Center, these splices have undergone rigorous dynamic and static testing, which enables the belt to offer superior mechanical fastener retention vs. multi-ply and straight-warp constructions. Vulcanized Finger Splice A finger over finger vulcanized splice is recommended for Goodyear Engineered Products Coal Quest belting. This splice method takes advantage of the supior strength properties of the Coal Quest carcass to offer 100% of the rated belt tension

COAL QUEST
®
Coal Quest
Our long history of innovation continues with the
development of our exclusive,
patented
,
polyester x nylon
Goodyear Engineered Products Triple-Warp™ fabric
weave. It’s what makes Coal Quest your best choice in
severe applications such as panel, mainline, tripper or
slope belts.
Coal Quest belt is available in 1-ply 400,
1-
ply 600, 3-ply 600, 3-ply 800, and 3-ply 1,000 PIW
configurations. The design of Coal Quest features a
Triple-Warp fabric center ply surrounded by a pair of
abuse-resistant and flexible outer plies. Coal Quest belts
make for a construction that provides a wide range of
benefits — superior mechanical fastener holding strength,
unbeatable vulcanized splice capabilities, a high degree of
flexibility, and great impact, tear and rip resistance.
ABUSE-RESISTANT OUTER PLIES
Coal Quest constructions feature two
rugged plies to provide further belt
strength and added flexibility.
TOP & BOTTOM COVERS
The versatility to reduce the
bottom cover gauge means lowering
your overall belt cost without sacrificing
performance,andareductioninbeltweight,
which reduces system energy consumption.
Unlike the heavier bottom covers required by
straight-warp belts, Coal Quest customers can
stipulate the exact cover gauge their belts require,
both top and bottom.
TRIPLE-WARP
TM
CENTER PLY
Three independent warp cords in combination with nylon fill cords, join together to increase overall ply integrity in
the patented Triple-Warp construction of Coal Quest belting. The combination of high strength crimped surface and
straight-warp cords helps fend off rips, tears, punctures and other abusive elements. This provides an even greater
measure of belt strength vs. traditional straight-warp and multi-ply fabric weaves. Typical straight-warp designs
offer only small binder yarns to maintain the integrity of the weave which may result in edge stringing.

Vulcanized Finger Splice
A finger over finger vulcanized splice is recommended for Goodyear Engineered Products
Coal Quest belting. This splice method takes advantage of the supior strength properties of
the Coal Quest carcass to offer 100% of the rated belt tension.
